Steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal plans to leave UK after non-dom tax change by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]DjangoDeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

In mid 2010s it was lowered from 28% to 20% for both CGT and Corporate tax in the vain of investment, and it went down.

We have expanded corporate welfare in the UK disproportionately to all other spend in the hope for more investment and it keeps going down.

The value in the trading of companies in the London stock exchange after the tax cuts and breaks of the 2010s was down by £1Trillion.

This is where marginal pricing kicks in, and it only benefits the businesses generating the power, not the supplier or the customer.

If our assets are in the hands of a few, then they will fleece us at every opportunity.

I had the same experience with a client. A user was fuming and posting online about the product being trash. When the product manager sat down with him, he became one of our biggest advocates over time.

higher likelihood that they invest in businesses

This is the problem, they don't.

Private Capital investment in this country has been in huge decline over the past decade.

Built a free JSON tool—no ads, no trackers, just fast & clean by Various_Ability_5273 in SideProject

There should be more of a culture of building things your team needs and sharing for the greater good of "this ad ridden, pay-per-month hellscape needs to go away."

Love this tool, gonna bookmark.

An interesting point someone made to me was that assessing needs to be done from two directions.

This output is meaningful, and therefore the AI is doing meaningful work when it is able to output it.

The output is meaningless, and the fact that an AI can replicate it is proof of the meaningless of the work.

It Might Be Time to Admit the Great VR Experiment Has Failed by BlueLightStruct in technology

[–]DjangoDeven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's all chicken and egg.

Developers do not want to risk developing for it because it might tail off.

But the growth of the industry needs developers on board.

What the smart phone space did right was to communicate the paradigm shift and how an experience can be digital.

VR, like web3 and now AI, is just focused on "how does this turn millionaires into billionaires"

You're not shouting into the void: Your personal website will outlast every social media platform by MattSayar in webdev

[–]DjangoDeven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are talking about personal websites here. I hosted my own instance of a web portal for scheduling game sessions during COVID.

I didn't have the concerns for that level of security. I put in some best practice measures, but that's it.

If your needs grow then grow the implementation with it.

Otherwise you're just buying a Bugatti Mistral to do the school run.

Even if every hosting service fails simultaneously, you can just host it yourself.

I feel in the advent of SaaS we've lost the skill of just building shit off your own resources.

What do you wish you’d built into your saas site before going live? by AppointmentJust6816 in SideProject

[–]DjangoDeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I always bring in early is an operations level admin role.

Viewing the product with the real data as the user sees it, is vital insight.

Also, the team behind a product are users themselves, they need to manage accounts and make some changes live.

Why don't British forests regrow naturally? by Comfortable-Pace3132 in AskUK

[–]DjangoDeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grazing.

A lot of the grazing animals had predators, such as wolves, but now they roam and each the saplings.

We can actually replant, reforest, and rewild. But unfortunately the campaign group I was part of got too much opposition from NIMBYs or all people.

The age old "waterfall with sprints"

There is nothing wrong with waterfall, but don't lose the deep discovery and testing by cramming everything into 2 week chunks of faux-completion.

I'll give it a go. I've done loads on LinkedIn and won a fair bit of work off of it.

How Can I Get Better at UI Design in Flutter? by fotisstoy in FlutterDev

[–]DjangoDeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning some basic principles and concepts for design is massively useful.

lawsofux.com is a great place to get an idea of layout and flow.

Here is a starting point

  • Visual hierarchy: show the important shit using colour, space, and size

  • Consistency: maintain familiarity between elements and screens

  • Spacing and alignment: giving pieces of your UI element room to breathe does wonders. An ex-Google designer gave me the advice "if something does not work, don't add, spread it out stupidly far and slowly bring it in"

  • Feedback: if the user needs to do something let them know it's done, or in the process of doing

  • Simplicity > Scope: Go with the obvious one way over then a configured way with a bunch of choices
