• Stock photos.
• Buzzwords.
• Gatekeeping.
• The hidden context tax.
• Vitamin products.
• "Secrets" sold in courses.
• Office politics.
• Code for code's sake.
• Meetings that should've been messages.
• Fine print.
• Forms that ask what they already know.
• Slides with no point.
• "Let's circle back."
• Dark patterns.
• Lorem ipsum in production.
• Templates pretending to be taste.
• Busy calendars, empty progress.
