The Sad State Of The Web Design Community - Smashing Magazine
The writing on Web design has been steadily increasing. While it’s well understood that this increase in quantity hasn’t come without a cost, this fact is hardly discussed in any detail. I was about to suggest that finding good articles on Web design is becoming hard, but instead I’ll state that finding any articles on Web design is hard. What we have instead are known as random “listicles” with context-less stock photos.
So, I wish someone would actually show all of us newbies what the heck kind of educational posts you’re talking about instead of always complaining, “Oh, the community is going to hell in a handbasket…”
The only community we know is the one that retweets list posts and all the stuff that you guys seem to be against. And so that’s why we retweet the same crap as well. Show us a better community and we’ll all be a part of it. It’s not like we aren’t intelligent and can’t discern a quality educational post from a list post, but we just haven’t seen any of that around, and so our definition of the design community is what you seem to hate about it.
