I’ve been building a small milk candy business for a bit while where I would hand-roll the hard candies into a package similar to Lifesavers. Currently it’s getting to the point where I’m considering getting a factory machine. Does anyone know what sort of machines they use to package candies like Lifesavers?
Sharing my observation here. I was able to get to case study and whiteboarding rounds this time last year and got more recruiter reach outs. This time of the year however, I couldn’t get past the hiring manager round at max. Same portfolio and resume with updated work.
I was rejected from a position at a company where their product is exactly in the same category down to the user experience. Just wanted to share that even though you might think you have the leverage in having aligned case studies, still you might not get the job.
It’s mostly dodge, parry, and counter. Dodge, parry, counter, dodge, parry, counter, …
Those matter more and do more damage than character skills, stats, elemental weaknesses, and weapons. There aren’t even armors and accessories.
All I can think of in battles was how to perfectly dodge, parry, and counter. It’s almost like an action game wrapped in a turn-based RPG instead of an actual turn-based RPG.
Speaking as a long-term turn-based JRPG and Final Fantasy fan. Hope the dev team see this and do something about it if they were to launch another RPG.
I've been working on an idea of a snack product for a while to the point where it's in a good shape for some real customer testing. I'm not in the position to handcraft the MVP and sell them, so thinking of manufacturing a small amount to start selling that way. I figured I test the branding, packaging in addition to the food itself as well. Do you think it is a good idea?
For a product that is a platform with multiple features, how is the product-design collaboration at your company?
Do you only work with a centralized platform product team who receives requirements from feature product teams, or vice versa, or work with both of them?
If you work with both, how do you balance the collaboration? Do they have different maturity when it comes to working with design e.g. seeing us as pixel-pushers vs strategic partners? How do you navigate it?
My point is it's more than just UX that we're doing. It includes mainly UI and research as well.
Wanted to share briefly of my experiences and observation with the outcomes I’ve gotten from interview processes considering Covid and whiteboarding sessions.
My point is in my experience I have been a top performer regardless if the interview processs had a whiteboarding sessions or not. The difference is I had more rejections with whiteboarding in the post-covid era.
Pre-Covid:
Post-Covid:
Help remind me: Do Weapons regenerate or respawn after they are defeated? I’m comparing them to white blood cells so wonder if they operate the same way.
I'm worried it is going to greatly delay my time to reach FIRE. My investments are already tanking a lot. I don't want it to go further down.
Either an independent one or banks that have wealth management tier accounts. I assume above 1M but want to hear what’s been working with others.
My team has a "design PM" with some design background but now works as a product director to sign off on the design. They have so much power that no designer dares to question them, even my design team lead, who is at the same level. Does this seem normal? My understanding and past career experiences led me to believe that design should have a final say, well, on design.
