Maya syndrome
Maya syndrome is a mental condition primarily (although not exclusively) developed by people who attend college or university for game design. People with Maya syndrome tend to believe that just because they are using an "industry standard" software, their products are inherently flawless and superior to anything else, regardless of their level of experience. They often dismiss criticism from more experienced people who use a different software, especially who use open-source applications. After a person develops this condition, they become difficult to work with in teams using diverse tools. The person will often work on a 3D modelling project, and refuse to do revisions after the first pass on the asset, resulting in a practically unusable product. Sadly there is no known way to cure Maya syndrome. At present, the only options are to keep these people isolated from healthy developers and hope that time and more experience heals them, or to play onto their mental state, and work with them in an echo chamber in order to try and pry usable products out of them. (Sadly the latter option has the danger of not only not improving the condition of the affected individual, but even making it worse.) The name of the condition comes from Autodesk Maya, a 3D computer graphics production software, which is the most common cause for the development of the symptoms described above. Similar versions of this syndrome can be described for a number of other professions as well.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Customer Reviews
Well printed, the mug's ceramic is of good quality, I'm not sure what else I can add. I am surprised it could be printed and shipped so quickly based on my earlier experience printing/kiln-firing/baking this kind of product. Well done.
Sent to a friend. He loved it!
Easy to order and customize. Very tough, solid, and well-made. Nice and hefty in the hand.
urban dictionary is my personal lifeline to the divine, thank you for selling me a $35 coffee cup that I gave to friend, bought another and gave that another friend. Likely asking, rather in need of, a six or more discount code, for six or more gifts to friends! Xoxo
It’s great to be able to create your own mug.
Cool
So dope.
I LOVE my mug! It's such a meaningful way to remember a word my Dad "coined" When I was a child. I am very pleased.
Arrived exactly on time( as projected) ;( beautiful blue color 💙 as specified) loving it ! ❤️

Great idea to be able to offer this quality mug. I wish it would have come with the full text including examples listed on Urban Dictionary but I do love the mug. Just bought my 2nd one. Packaging is duarable and perfect for rough transit.

I wasn't sure if the wording was going to be on the back, but it was, so I am very pleased. Thank you.
Cute, simple, as advertised.
I appreciated the email asking if the content was correct. Excellent quality and attention to detail. Thank you!
It was easy to correct grammar when necessary, and then to order a great gift for a member of a wedding party. Nice, simple, and sturdy mug.
