Show your work, not your tools

Show-your-work-image
This cool graphic by @OzolinsJanis is a great reminder during released of big tools like ChatGPT to focus on what problem is being solved.   

Image Description

The image features two sections: on the left, a sketch of a house with two pencils, emphasizing the creation process; on the right, a lineup of five identical pencils, highlighting the tools.

Positive Aspects

This image cleverly contrasts the importance of showcasing your creative output (the sketch) over merely displaying the tools used (the pencils). It visually reinforces the idea that what you produce is more significant than the instruments you use.

Key Takeaways

  • Focus on the value and impact of your work rather than the tools used to create it.
  • Tools are secondary to the creative process and problem-solving.
  • Highlighting your work helps communicate your skills and achievements more effectively than emphasizing the means.

Additional Insights

Remember, even the best tools can't replace creativity and skill. It's like showing off your cooking utensils instead of the delicious meal you’ve prepared. Whether you’re using ChatGPT or a simple pencil, what matters is the solution or art you create.
