I looked back on the emotional tone I used with AI, and practiced replacing blame with clear work instructions. I record here how I reset my work-life balance and learned to grow myself along the way.
About a month into starting work with AI in the terminal, I was talking with my husband after work one evening, and even those few minutes felt frustratingly slow.
Through two parental leaves and two returns to work, a designer's tools shifted from Illustrator through Sketch and Figma to the terminal. This is a record of the excitement, the fear, and the gratitude I felt working with AI.
It’s been over a year since our Monday morning meetings disappeared. We automated the meetings that used to fill our calendars, and now organize everything in MD files at the terminal. This is the story of how five people became able to do, with greater speed and precision, work that once took 30 — the first installment of “From the Terminal.”
After nearly a year of working with AI, I learned exactly one thing: there are no shortcuts. If I'm spending the time anyway, there's no reason to make something people will forget in a week — so I built a free personality analysis instead. It took a month.
We've analyzed data and consulted experts to create content for kids. But once we let a child take the lead, imagination we never had access to came pouring out.
“Free games, no ads” was too often an empty promise. After too many nights spent reaching across the screen before our children could see what appeared, we decided to build things backwards: Quiga, with zero ads, zero loot boxes, zero hidden payments—and completely free foundations in Hangul and English.
After eight years in finance, a leap into AR in 2012, and a long journey back to our original question, we begin this Voyage Log with two new chapters: a renewed Circus Company website and the launch of Quiga.
