    There are very few jobs where, if I can write down what you do all day, I can’t find an AI to do it faster and cheaper than you. So you want a job where I can’t write down what you do all day.

    — Seth Godin, in conversation with Steven Bartlett, The Diary of a CEO, 10 August 2026.

    I haven’t read The Knot yet, but it’s on my reading list and it just became my next pick. This is such a good reminder that we can’t hide behind busy work anymore, and honestly that feels like a gift: it’s our chance to finally show up and do the work we always dreamt of doing.

    Content Strategy for Mobileabookapart.com

    Yesterday the newest book in the A Book Apart series, “Content Strategy for Mobile” by Karen McGrane, was released, and of course we bought the ebook version straight away. I have already browsed through it a little and I am thrilled.

    In plain language, Karen discusses what to consider to make web content mobile-ready and which problems designers, developers and authors face when content has to be accessible on all kinds of devices.

    And “mobile” no longer means just smartphones and tablets. It is about preparing web content for a huge range of devices with very different screen formats, from the smallest Blackberry screen to smart TVs and fridges with built-in displays.

    Get your content ready to go anywhere because it’s going to go everywhere.

    Karen analyses many current website examples and discusses what to look out for to be ready for this exciting, colourful new world of the web. The book is available as an ebook for 9 US dollars or as a paperback for 18 dollars plus shipping from A Book Apart.

    PARCOURS Existenzgründung für Designeramazon.de

    The book “PARCOURS Existenzgründung für Designer” by Sophia Muckle, published by Verlag Hermann Schmidt Mainz, is in my view a must-have for every creative mind planning to go self-employed or already working as a freelancer. It gives practical answers to questions about finding clients, pricing, law, taxes and insurance. The book (in German) has been with us since we started our own business and its advice has helped us many times.
