Think it's hard to hire developers and designers now? ⚙️ Wait till they get comfortable building their own profitable SaaS / tools / side hustles and drop out of the job game. Most are already on this path, others are slowly scaling up monetization. Only a matter of time!

"We need to design feature X" 🌱 Newbie designers: "Okay, I'm on it" 🌳 Experienced designers: "Why do we need it?" Always build context. Understand the problem before attempting to solve it. Sometimes the best solution is no solution.
