Second, being grumpy, unhealthy, and stubborn worked pretty well for me as a developer, but I can’t do it with creative design work. This means I have to eat better, exercise, go to bed really early, constantly remind myself how great things are, and expose myself to designs, people, and points of view I might not have bothered with before.
When I don’t, it shows much faster with much worse results than when I used to stay up all night banging out code and/or yelling at jerks on the internet. It took me a whole career change to fully appreciate it, but a positive attitude is vital for creating great work.
