Thank god for the caviat at the end about people lacking either experience, or tech skill, can eventually grow.

Right now, at Weiden + Kennedy, I'm one of the older members of my cohort, and somehow they make the difference between 23 and 27 feel like a gulf. Maybe it's just the nature of the internet, and how much more they use it than me. They are technically some of the best makers I've ever met, but there isn't a lot of life insight, and - maybe it's just because the biz is advertising - but some of them only speak in slogans.

With hope and a little bit of juice, fingers crossed I have tree trunks for legs by the fall.

Blue!

One blue this way, one blue that way.
