    AI Slop & The 80/20 Problem (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Nelson and Jess break down the 80/20 rule in software — why no app is ever truly "done," why AI-generated work is stuck at C-minus passing, and how decades of creative expertise make all the difference in that final 20%. From nostalgic screen resolutions to swim class analogies, they explore why perfection is overrated, why tools always need workarounds, and why the experts you hire are the missing piece AI can't replace.

We talk about what a rebrand actually involves, why companies really do it, and what probably happened behind the scenes at Instagram, Jaguar, and Gap's infamous logo flop — plus the messy, emotional reality of the creative process most people never see.

    A married couple who've been together since 2004 turn their everyday car conversations into candid, funny, and surprisingly insightful interviews with each other. From nervous poops and drip coffee anxiety to how competitive tennis and marching band shaped their careers, they dig into the questions they've never asked each other — covering design, teamwork, learning styles, and the messy reality of life and love. No PR team, no filters, just two creatives being unapologetically themselves.

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The millennial experience: corporate or self-employed, which one's actually better? We've lived both sides, and the answer is complicated.
