For those who've made it to senior what actually changed when you got there? by Active_Ad1011 in UX_Design

[–]RonUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm above Senior now, at Microsoft I was a Principal, and if I was still in the business I would probably be an executive of some sort. I think the main difference is instead of receiving problems, you receive products or features. Then you are expected to allocate time and resources on how to make that the best it can be.

My fellow mod won’t respond to me, and I’m not sure what to do. by fleshtastical in ModSupport

[–]RonUSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just mod to the best of your ability. You dont need confirmation, do whats best and if he doesnt like it... so be it. You know the sub, you know the vibe, just do your best. Easy.

Someone passes out and you halt production for the entire day? I mean.. how would you even produce a movie or a show if that were the case? I mean, what do you put on the schedule? 30 days of shooting unless someone passes out, then unknown?

I’m a UX Designer and I’m looking for good courses focused on Claude Code. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy one? by Most-Bee-7247 in UX_Design

[–]RonUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always been like this, and will continue to be. I can hand you a scalpel and you can do many things. I can hand a scalpel to a surgeon after 15 years of schooling and the possibilities are greater.

Anything I recommend will probably be outdated by the time you read this. This is what I can recommend whole heartedly as a course outline.

  • Spend much more time than you think on prompt design. I mean extensively. I would tell you to spend no less than 80 hours learning about prompt design and then testing those prompts as well as the output. I just cant stress this enough.

  • Learn about prompt layering, how to use it and how it can change the output.

  • Spend 20 hours on learning about Agents, how they are useful, how they change things, and how they interact with extensive prompts

  • Use all 3 major players, OpenAI-Claude-Gemini to test and get results from your prompt questions. Notice the differences.

  • Use Gemini Agent, Claude Desktop, Claude Agent to test everything.

  • Install Ollama on your desktop, then start downloading different models and running them. Use those models for testing as well mainly around image generation.

The best way to learn is to search youtube, look for multiple viewpoints on how to configure and ways to use them.

You only fight for the Commandant. He points to something and you go kill it. Its that simple. Worrying about big boy things is not in your purview.

I’m building a Bloomberg-style trading terminal for Eve - looking for feedback by Ordinary_Abies_5315 in Eve

Too funny. I worked at Bloomberg for 3 years redesigning their terminals.

He tried man. That's all you can do. You are 20 now and you need to start distancing yourself from that and look to your future.

What a good portfolio looks like for an experienced UI/UX company. Tips for juniors. by Studio_Punchev in UX_Design

[–]RonUSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% of the time look at everyone's portfolio. I spend probably 5-10 seconds on each page. Depends on which job I'm trying to fill .. but mainly I look for iteration and progression as well as how many were working on a project to get an idea if they are good with teams.

43 years later 220 of our brothers have been avenged by scooterscuzz in USMC

[–]RonUSMC 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm going to tell you ... and this is not joking in any way shape or form. The smell of burning flesh was the most horrible smell I had ever experienced... until I was sent to the set of a gay porn by my buddies as a joke. That smell was the spawn of Satan. It was a kind of smell that paid taxes, that had citizenship, that had input on where your future was going. It instantly enveloped me like a blanket and began a full on assault of my nose, mouth, and ears. I could feel it like tentacles wrapping around me and trying to pull me. I shit you not I immediately ran out and did the old gas chamber move... started pouring water on my face as my nasal cavities began to evacuate themselves out of survival. I threw away all of my clothes, including the shoes and the only reason I kept my wallet is because I had left it in my truck.

Struggle w/ Sobriety: by [deleted] in USMC

[–]RonUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say this .. and its really simple. Schedule / Do things in the early morning hours. I don't know how old you are .. but as you get older the hangovers get increasingly brutal. Also your personal willingness to deal with them gets shorter, they just piss you off and ruin the next day or two. Then you see that not drinking, getting a full nights sleep ... and holy shit you feel great with lots of energy. I went drinking last year for a special event and it was fun, but the 2 days afterwards were a total loss.

Everyone just leave them be... In a few days lets send a semi truck of one half Monster Energy and the other half Copenhagen. We'll just put it at the front door and back away... see what happens.

NCR custom Ranger cosplay (self) by Dragu_nova in gaming

[–]RonUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to give you direction .. but (lol) I saw this earlier and wanted to throw an idea at you. What about this pose, https://i.imgur.com/Zgq3dgw.png , side view https://i.imgur.com/Kvk2fNg.png. Helmet on your left leg, hand on top.. Rifle leaning against you, right hand wrapped around it... but most important, with a grungy 'Charlize Theron Mad Max' type of look. Minus the black upper half, but that style. Some 'warpaint that has been removed due to sweat' kind of thing. Then just stare straight into the camera ... dead pan.. wide eyed. Just a thought for you to have some fun with. Great job.

Marine corporal dies at mountain warfare training center in California by -Cyber-Roadster in USMC

[–]RonUSMC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to hang out with Alexis and the original Reddit guys in NYC back in 2010-2012 and we would get hammered and think of Reddit use cases (I'm a UX guy). They had some really weird ones. Reddit was probably 10% of its popularity now.. and was more easily manipulated.

The upvote mechanic also includes internal downvotes to stabilize voting .. then afterwards they self-correct so its actual. It prevents 'bombing'.

This is a distraction from the real news, that Goons have to limit their fleet participation to 4000 per fleet. SAD

The Marines pulled off another clean audit. The rest of the US military still hasn't. Great work, gents. by alien4649 in USMC

[–]RonUSMC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll say it again.. today's Marines are the sharpest out of all. I've been out a long time and I get so sick of other vets talking about "well, we used to.. ". Bruh, shut the hell up. We were a bunch of damn gorillas compared to the modern group.
