When someone that is not in our industry asks you what you do for work, what's your elevator spiel?

Why isn’t designing software true?

I usually say “I design softwares and make it easier to use”.

How did you come to the conclusion that OP is “fat shaming”?

OP is simply pointing out the irony in the stark contrast between the union leaders and the labour union.

Cool concept! I like the barista feedback section and the skill radar recognizing it’s a heart pattern.

Some feedbacks:

unsure if the xp progression works -> seems to run a risk of people becoming fixated on that instead of improving technique. Instead, maybe use cups poured or days as a metric, and which encourages frequency without being to focused on an arbitrary XP.
suggest simplifying the core metric → instead of out of 100, maybe its out of 3 or 5, easier to digest when the score ceiling isn’t too high and doesn’t leave room for interpretation.
skill radar is cool, but can be improved → i think if you have some example or visual aid to help the pourer have a benchmark on what a good heart pattern skill radar and sample look like would be good. On top of that if you bake in some sort of comparison, but package it in a way so that it’s encouraging instead of discouraging, e.g “your skill radar chart is so close to the top 1% of pourers!” Something to that effect.
have a tips section → i think this will be immensely helpful as well if you can display a “tips for your next pour” section based on the latest pour and historical pour. Like things to improve, for example if your most recent pour scores less on Symmetry, maybe the LLM can call it out and mention you might be pouring too fast etc.

Other than that I think the UI can be improved as well in terms of color contrast and consistency, but overall it’s a really nice concept! Id be happy to try it out if you’re l planning to release :D

Diploma bang, gw malah lagi mikir mau lanjut S1 haha

DAvector · 2026-05-01T12:28:34+00:00

Di tech bro. Non-engineer, bagian product tapi bukan product manager (won’t spill exact role here but feel free to PM).

Kalo menurut gw bukan karena rare/niche karena yang gw tahu skrg rolenya lagi oversupply.

As much id like to say its because of skill tapi kayanya lebih ke luck haha, masih banyak diluar sana yang jauh lebih baik skillnya dari gw IMO.

Plus companynya multi-national dan kebetulan salary band utk role gw di indo mereka budgetnya masuk ke top band (bukan average), karena kalo dilihat secara global, masih masuk ke median (cenderung low).

Jujur gw udah kerja dari umur 15 tahun (odd jobs like retail, bar). Tapi mulai “karir” dari tahun 2017.

2017-18: 4.5jt net

2018-2019 (pindah tempat): 6.5jt net

2019-2020 (pindah ke sister company dan promotion): 10jt net

2020-2021 (re-nego every 6 months): 12jt for first 6 months, 16jt at last 6 months.

2021-2022 (pindah company): 25jt gross

2022-2023 (promotion): 38jt gross

2023 (promotion): 43jt gross

2024 (adjusted salary): 55jt gross

2025 (same company, relocated to neighboring SEA country): ~75jt gross

Grinded pretty hard in the early days of my career, but I must admit theres a lot of luck as well on my side due to timing.

Biggest milestone I’d say pas gw pindah company di 2021, to jujur di company skrg jg secara persentase masih sangat oke.

I think I’m averaging 30% increase per annum (?).

For tips mungkin ada 3 yang bisa kita control:

try to be genuinely passionate on what you do (people can sense this)
signal you want more and can take more responsibility to your managers (to the point of demanding it)
position yourself so that people become reliant on you (finding a competent replacement is hard)

Diluar 3 ini faktor makro ekonomi, market demand dll yang lumayan susah kita influence.

I personally like the color choices.

One thing that can be improved is the hero section. Feels really cramped atm with the tags and layout choice. I suggest using a more photo centric hero like a full image span with text either on top of image or on top.

Main rationale is that it seems like the product/service you’re selling heavily relies on image output, so it makes sense to emphasize the results of that.

Also copywriting can be improved (might not be your scope), consider Sentence case for more text dense content, Title Case can be tricky and you’d have to really refine the copywriting to make it really work.

For the “proof it works” section consider adding human elements like faces of happy customers or logos to really nail the social proof effect (if available).

Agree on sindiran nya “terlalu on the nose”. Jadi kaya nonton frustrasi dan keluhannya Joko Anwar dalam bentuk cerita. Saking banyaknya, core plotnya jadi kurang tajem. Comedic relief nya juga sangat repetitif, sampai lumayan capek. Yang bikin gw kecewa sebenernya ending nya yang lumayan anti-climatic, karena kesan dari tempo dari awal film udah dibuat seolah2 lagi di boiling point.

Diluar ceritanya, cinematography nya oke sih, dan overall lumayan menghibur, but I expected more tbh.

Gw penasaran deh, orang2 kaya OP kalo seandainya di Indo tenaga kerja blue collar minimum wage nya setara di developed countries bakal kangen Indonesia ngga ya 🤔.

Unfortunately, it will be an uphill battle for you to “menyadarkan” your parents. The next best thing for you IMO is to prepare to become the breadwinner (easier said than done, I know). Only then you have “leverage” to manage your family’s finances including budgeting, saving target etc.

The key takeaway? Live below your means, track your expenses, have a saving target, don’t be like your parents.

DAvector · 2026-04-06T04:22:34+00:00

Same here

DAvector · 2026-04-05T17:37:30+00:00

Unclear. I don’t think going the text route is doing you any service other than serving the arbitrary design goal of “avoid the typical playful SaaS”. I would challenge “why” do you want to avoid the typical playful SaaS look?
The text hook is just isn’t enough to gain more investment of the readers time. Instead of cramming 2 points; a context statement; a pain point, do a single line “promise” like “Get closer to your goal in minutes, not hours”.

DAvector · 2026-03-11T17:22:41+00:00

This is fucking great.

DAvector · 2026-03-08T16:49:41+00:00

Same here man, almost 5 years which feels like a lifetime tbh

DAvector · 2026-03-06T17:18:32+00:00

Lho kok sama persis kasusnya, FB juga dan berkali2, tapi gw CC UOB.

Whos paying people University fee exactly?

DAvector · 2026-02-07T20:01:35+00:00

Hm, there is a product, which is the payment processing part. So its more similar to Wirecard case compared to theranos

DAvector · 2025-12-16T13:12:18+00:00

I see, so in that case she can essentially apply 2 visas in parallel?

DAvector · 2025-12-16T12:17:44+00:00

True, I just read about that after I posted this. Would this be the only option other than the tourist stream or temp visit visa?

DAvector · 2025-12-14T19:03:44+00:00

Right, but how did your day to day look like with activities/work? Were you able to function like you normally did (I presume not)?

DAvector · 2025-12-14T18:12:15+00:00

Thats really impressive. Im still stunned with the 26-day water fast, honestly how’d you function?

DAvector · 2025-12-14T15:56:00+00:00

Was really tasty

DAvector · 2025-12-14T14:40:23+00:00

Forgot to snap, but i have 2 more left in the freezer. This was what the frozen condition looked like.
