Posted to Taiga — Mailbox-inspired theme for Nylas N1, in reply to Joe Blau , Dec 18, 2015 I feel you, I don't see the point in this theme since its mostly the functionality from Mailbox I want. And unfortunately a new look doesn't fix that.

Posted to Designers that've transitioned from working for a company to full-time consulting & freelance: What's helped your transition and what wisdom would you pass on?, Jul 08, 2015 - Charge upfront
- Make sure you aren't undervaluing yourself. You have to remember to account for unbillable hours, like when dealing with your own business but not clientwork. It is likely that 1 hour a day or more will go into this, so up your hourly rate to make up for that.
- If a potential client has issues with your pricing and/or paying upfront, he is most likely a trouble client and you should walk away.
- Don't waste your time with clients you can tell will be trouble. You will find other, better clients. Don't worry.

Posted to AMA: I’m Benjamin De Cock, user interface designer and front-end developer at Stripe., in reply to Benjamin De Cock , Feb 24, 2015 I couldn't agree more. I need to do both on a regular basis to be happy.
I'm pretty sure it's all the same guy. The way they all tend to skip the word "are" in their sentences is too much of a coincidence :D
