How did we turn basic competence into a superpower?

Dec 16th 2011 13 years ago on this day I got my first design job: To design AND build Wordpress templates. I did it all: 🎨 Designed layouts (in Photoshop ofc) 🧑‍💻 Wrote CSS, JavaScript, and some PHP 🕯️ Stayed late making it work in IE6 🛠️ Debugged in prod Today, 'designers who ship' are trending. Shipping is revered as a superpower. Back then it wasn't a superpower. It was just Friday afternoon. 😅 Real superpower? Ignoring labels and doing what needs to be done.
