Most design tools will eventually fade away

I still remember the first day I opened Photoshop to do some web design and tried to replicate the 2AdvancedStudios flash website. It was the greatest experience back in the day!

That's how I kicked off my web design journey… With a tool that's pretty much obsolete by today's standards.

Tools are simply a means to an end, and the best way to achieve results is constantly changing and evolving. As designers, we should steer clear of tool resilience because eventually, all our favorite tech tools become deprecated.

So... more than just being experts with tools, we should be available to communicate, facilitate discussions, and most importantly, act as business partners who prioritize users' needs before making decisions.
