i've been at this for a while now ⚡ and i've seen firsthand how exhausting it can be. data doesn't lie: back last may, lenny rachitsky dropped some survey results that really hit home. figma users had the most reports of burnout among design tools . but here's something we might not have realized enough - this problem is partly self-created.
>it's like saying "we can't fix it because we built a house on quicksand"i mean, sure - the job market sucks and ai keeps changing things under our feet. companies still undervalue design despite all the talk about user experience (ux) being king . but there's more to this story.
think of how much pressure teams put themselves thru w/ unrealistic deadlines or constant rework cycles ⬆️➡⬇️
we could use some self-reflection on what we're contributing here. maybe it's time for a change in our approach, not just the tools and tech.
what do you think? have any other insights to share about designer burnout?

if this is too serious we can always laugh it off with some memes instead. ✿❤️☀♀♂⚡
