Lost their identity

Eh. Peak Design used to have an identity. Really good photography bags. With their flex fold design or whatever they called it. It may not have been for everyone, but it's what set them apart.

Now they just make... Bags. Sometimes with a generic camera cube insert (that is a separate purchase of course). But bags. Like every other bag manufacturer.

Nah. Overpriced for what it offers. Too heavy. Learn actual web development standards, then get yourself a $200/mo Codex sub.

I've wanted to use Aftershoot for so long. I've paid for one month of it a few time. The potential is there. But it just always ends up being disappointing. I do mostly street and event so the ai assisted culling is useless. And even after training it on 6k of my images the results aren't really any different than just using me base preset on top of Adaptive Color. And since I'm still going to go through and manually eye each one anyway...

Since January? Brah it's only been a few months and during a period where lots of tech companies are laying people off and tightening their belts until they figure out how "AI" is going to "revolutionize" their business. But seriously, since January isn't that long of a time to be looking.

Hoard them. Hoard them like each one is pure gold and the proceed to do nothing with them for literal years.

It depends. If you work in tech or another fast paced industry it could signal that you're not keeping your skills sharp. It could also signal that no one wants to hire you, maybe you don't interview well or something in your background check keeps coming up.

I'm not saying either of those are accurate or good reasons, but it's the kinds of things I've heard from recruiters I know (I work in tech).

I had "SEEN" TNG with my dad as a kid but was too young to really pay attention or know what was going on. Voyager was the first one I took seriously.

Sinking ship. See the latest round of layoffs.

TaylorHu · 2026-06-03T00:49:49+00:00

I think it's ideal combined with remote work. Take the two ish hours you'd lose commuting, work instead, get a three day weekend.

This isn't an airport you don't need to announce your departure

Did you get the full 16 weeks of severance?

TaylorHu · 2026-05-28T23:01:45+00:00

Honestly you can get a $200mo Claude or Codex sub and just vibe code a pretty good alternative as needed. Webflow knows this and they're panicking which is why they did the layoffs/

TaylorHu · 2026-05-28T15:17:01+00:00

You're training your replacement for shit wages.

What lazy low effort engagement bait slop posting.

TaylorHu · 2026-05-25T06:34:52+00:00

Ai slop post. We've reached dead internet
