This is one of my favourite substacks by you so far. Made me realise that what usually bothers me about criticism isn't the actual criticism as much as it's the assumptions behind it -that I may deeply disagree with. And the point about being useful rather than complex or advanced. I think this is why your writing is particularly good. It's simply and straightforward, not trying to be fancy or important. In a way, anti-BS.
Glad you don't have a manager man. Keep it up, saying what you wanna say, how you wanna say it, when you wanna say it. It does help, and it's useful to me on this day, to feel a little bit more understood
“If only people knew how different things could be!!”
I feel this deeply in my bones, and that feeling is only amplified when I find myself doing the same thing again and again, to the same (undesired) effect again and again.
