For me…for me, as a Muslim with the Palestine world issues out there….despite whether you care or know well or not about it, being a kind and humble designer is more than enough because it’s SUPER RARE….here.
This is more likely a post for Western or European designers because it’s (alhamdulillah) a hot topic right now in the tech and design world (but I assume not in Indonesian tech, despite I don’t follow many of them on Twitter). But the fact is, we need more kind and humble designers, I need to learn to be the one like that, doesn’t mean I’m saying I’m one of them. But the fact is many many design people are arrogant, not to mention care about Palestine or not, it’s ‘a too far topic’ here in Indonesian tech. Just be…kind and humble…and it’s super rare.
I found more normal people in the developer’s world by the way. Yes, a few of them are so irritating as a variety of humans. But overall, they are more ‘normal’. At least normal in the community and in online appearance.
