summary
Presentation claims artistic practice gives resilience and practical methods: six core beliefs (strength-based work, question everything, own time, hold your own ruler, protect creativity, lead with what can it be). Tools shown include GitHub Primer (design system powering ~100 million developers), prompt-driven ideation and AI-assisted animation that failed to satisfy the maker, and a LinkedIn profile test that hallucinated a “toddler” line — an example of the AI gaze and why bios and outputs must be curated.
