@nolan I feel grateful the sea change in our profession has happened towards the tail end of my career. I’m fortunate to have worked while craft was valued and mattered, grew to balance that with deadlines and velocity, and now I’m approaching the new era with a kind of horrible wonder. Craft and a critical eye still seem valuable but it’s not yet clear to me how those are best expressed.

I share your conclusion- more than anything I’m inspired for more human connection- music, friends, kids.
