Are we burning out trying to make it better?
I’m curious, if you’ve ever felt this grind, what’s the one thing you wish you didn’t have to do over and over?
The people who care most about learning are the ones burning out trying to make it better.
I've seen it over and over, teachers staying late to fix slide decks, professors juggling five versions of the same course, instructional designers stuck doing the same edits in three different tools.
They’re not short on passion. They’re short on time.
And the systems they work in, the platforms, the processes, the expectations, just keep piling on.
We say we value education, but we don’t make it easy for the people who build it.
What would change if we did?
If we actually gave them better tools, more space, fewer hoops, could we make learning better and let them breathe again?

We keep building product after product — and there’s no doubt users want them. These tools are meant to make their lives easier. But the real resistance often comes from decision-makers. That’s where the need seems to get deprioritized.
Why do you think helping people work more productively without burning out isn’t at the top of their list?
