But what if the starter culture people are just scared of wild bacteria?

That shift around 2015 feels like the moment everything, not just design work, got flattened onto a screen.

Ugh yes, it's always the simple stuff that makes the biggest difference. I feel like half of adult life is just finding those little upgrades that stop the daily grind.

It's because the work is about people, not the tools... The goal is always to connect or fix something for a human. A hammer or a software update is just the thing in your hand at the time. We keep making better levers, but we're still trying to move the same old rock.

Rubbing alcohol works great for that. A dab of goo gone on a paper towel also gets the leftover sticky stuff off.
