Incumbent designers now counter-signal themselves in the anti-design movement
round · x · 2026-08-19
An anti-design movement is stirring in the design community. One observer finds it funny: incumbent designers have grown so resentful and bored of huffing their own farts that they counter-signal themselves — 'I challenge you to quit the design industry altogether; real design is shredding your degree and working as a meat packer until you're 82.' The self-defeating rhetoric is being shared as an industry-culture moment.
