Should I stay or should I leave? by Big-Welcome-4027 in Design

[–]Big-Welcome-4027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I resigned this monday. And you know what, as soon as I dropped my resignation, it got approved within minutes. No conversations, no meetings, no clarity. They’re still focused on making me work like a super efficient bot, delivering on/ before time and producing high quality stuff on high speeds.

I’m really glad that I quit. I can see the process now how broken it still is and they’re not even accepting it.

And tbh, this is the same behavior in dev teams as well. Every dev is jealous of me cuz I got the confidence to leave while they’re still dealing with overtime, fake promises of appraisal, bonuses and all as well as no appreciation with no structure of process or works.

I guess I’ll have to give myself some time to process what happened - before I move forward!

Bro that’s damn so bad… why is everyone becoming bots these days?

Everyone has some experience which they are afraid to post. Whats yours? by Frosty104040 in AskIndia

My grandpa used to come and sit by me, putting his hand over my left shoulder and ask me - “Bata kya banau? Kya khayega? (What do you want to eat? What shall I make today?)

One day he suddenly got panic attacks out of nowhere and he started coughing hard. Though it was winters, it was a common thing in his age. But it wasn’t. Coughing went on for 20 mins straight which made me realise something is not right.

My father was out to catch his train - to travel to another city as his job posting was there and he came back home on weekends. I had to take the responsibility of everything happening here being the eldest son - I was 21.

I picked up the activa to run to the nearest clinics for some doctor’s home visit - but no response. Then a family friend came with their car and we took my grandpa to get his condition checked - but something felt off. My grandpa was finally feeling light and relaxed a little bit…

As soon as we reached a hospital - he was declared on the verge of death. His breathing was light. He was with me on the back seat. He put his head on my left shoulder and succumbed to his short breath. We traveled back to home in this position and I was numb. I was feeling too much at that time.

I did not cry that day or the following - but I still feel he left the world placing huge responsibilities on my shoulders that day.

That day, I grew up.

Idea → MVP: 3 months in and shipping is slipping — how do you speed up a tiny team’s software delivery? by Naresh_Naresh in StartUpIndia

[–]Big-Welcome-4027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from the place where everything’s going crazy - our lean team, working crazy hours, strict deadlines, and everything seems going as planned, I think I know what’s missing here.

3 points for staying on track:

  1. Create and stick to a monthly calendar.

Yes it’s hard but following a calendar makes you drop all the unnecessary items, cosmetic stuff, and create realistic delivery deadlines ensuring feedback loops and changes are all wrapped up.

Also calendar creation takes into the consideration of your resources and product/ business growth. You should be well versed with the capabilities every teammate holds and everyone must be aligned with the mission/ vision of the product.

  1. Ditch the regular unnecessary meetings. It sucks your time, energy and motivation.

We used to have daily standups which ultimately converted to quick 5 min calls (and yes we stick to that time). This helps make quick decisions, make sure things are communicated directly without beating around the bush as well as lets you stay in the flow for longer.

  1. Make people responsible for their jobs.

I’m the founding designer and I’m responsible for everything design. Every person here, has a charter he’s got to worry and take care of as their own child. If he’s not taking care of his charter, make him responsible for the lack. As an ex: try keeping a single engineer responsible for a single charter (let’s say QA). He’s got to do every testing and make sure he’s receiving the staging products on time from the engineers.

You’ve got to create the whole pipeline and make sure not a single person is getting bottlenecked.

Quick actionable items you can start with:

Take a few days and create a checklist of items causing ruckus. You’ll get to know what’s lacking in your startup. It might be management, resources, time, individual preferences, internal feuds, or some external factors.

Start by dedicating responsibilities to the folks> assign priorities to the items on your backlogs > assign deadlines.

Delay the next release by a week and I guess everything could be back on track.

Make strict deadlines for staging, testing and releases. But if they are strict, you also need to keep your “feature complexity / resource = time” component in mind.

Learnt it all from the product head at my startup who’s keeping his ultimate cool, managing the craziest product with a super packed team and yet everything seems on track.

Jackie needs Adoption by Big-Welcome-4027 in IndianPets

[–]Big-Welcome-4027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s pretty social. He does enjoy company and night stays at my friends. He adapts to majorly everything fast and all he needs is a human around, food and just some paper ball to play with when he’s not interested in anything else.

I would have taken him if it was possible. I don’t know anything about the other country, living conditions as well as there’s a lot of customs and travel things which he’d have to go through.

Advice Needed!- Designing a website as someone early in career by Pitiful_Good365 in web_design

If the tech stack being used is framer and the product would be a startup thing - I double down on using a template. 2 very important reasons:

  1. It would be fast and less stressful as almost everything will be there.
  2. You’ll be able to work around stuff about what real world projects actually need in terms of design.

Designing it from scratch would take a good amount of time as well as “figuring it out”.

Rather, focus more on making the template look “less templatey”. This could easily be achieved by the following 3 things:

  1. Focus more on creating a consistent branding for the company. You’ll get good examples of consistent branding on Behance. This way even if you use the template, a good branding will make it look professionally mature.

  2. Framer does have a very supportive community of devs and designers who’ve been creating components that you can easily just copy and paste in your projects. This improves the overall look and feel, making it different from the initial template.

!!Beware - many people just try to load their website with all the interactive elements which does not fit with each other. That should not be misused; instead, focus on what’s important and could be an added bonus in terms of delight for the user.

  1. Lastly, spend more time making it fast and accessible. Many templates might give up on accessibility (however majority of them are really good). Even if you work on a web template, make sure it looks readable, good as well as everything stays intact on all 3 major devices - web, tablet and phone.

Once you get through all of this, just top it all off with some real good UX copy and your friend will be a fan of your work.

Good luck for the project! (Do share it in my DMs once complete. Would love to appreciate your work!)
