    Today one of my team produced a better design than me. She's 12 years younger than me.

    I was actually so happy. It meant that I can finally concentrate on the direction of the company and strategy rather than doing all the hands on work.

    In the past I would have been insecure about this but now I find it a relief.

    • Same here... The only difference is that now I can focus on doing nothing :Dgonzalle
    • You lucky man! Achievement unlocked, lolgrafician
    • Yeah, the young(er) guy who works with me is a waaaaay better 3D artist than I ever will be - just his post work is rusty and he knows this.face_melter
    • I'm glad I'm running my own thing as it would be worrying if this happens in an agency where every f-ing thing is a competitionChimp
    • Doesn't bother me none - I fucking hate 3D now but I have learned a *lot* from him. I'm from a time of just smashing shit together in Ps to make it work.face_melter
    • So I teach him the shortcuts for my post effects and colour balancing.face_melter
    • kill and drink her blood... steal her skills and youth!necromation
    • As the saying goes, only hire people better than you! Looks like you did - congrats.nylon
