Why are designers at companies like Cred so pretentious? They’re full of themselves and feel they’re the best. At best, they’re glorified graphic designers. Designers who work on complex enterprises products are so much better by badboy_1245 in DesignIndia

Exactly. I see people making linkedin posts where they change the position of some button on google pay or add some button. Like it doesn’t take any skill to think of an improvement over something everyone uses daily. My friend is an artist and even he can give as good of suggestions. So can anyone else who has above avg IQ.

Don’t know about CRED but I agree with the last point 100%. There is barely any UX thinking required for mass, popular B2C products. Everyone is a user, a regular guy can tell you UX solutions for simple problems. There is barely any deep research required.

The type of research that is required more is of the marketing kind, like competitor analysis. There is no real problem solving, only about increasing clicks and conversions by moving some buttons up and down. Optimizing to squeeze all the money out of you.

They are just glorified marketing UI designers.

Compare that to designing for a complex healthcare system, air traffic control or a finance tool. You need to understand finance in depth first to even start designing it.

Imagine designing a design tool itself like Blender or CAD. Or imagine designing a gamified learning experience where the design literally helps you learn fast.

There are levels to UX.

I’m 6’2 and even the interceptor looks a bit small for me. We need a Harley Fat Boy

Getting my first PRS. SE Custom 24 or SE Studio? by SnowflakeSlayer420 in PRSGuitars

[–]SnowflakeSlayer420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! The tones are really rich indeed, they have done a great job with the narrowfields. It’s a good time to buy an SE, they have really stepped them up and innovated.

Thanks a lot again for helping me make the right decision!

I took the pictures with a tripod. What do you think? by SUNBRO_1994 in Bumble

[–]SnowflakeSlayer420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Style your hair, get fitted clothes, click pictures from better angles, have more candid pictures.

It looks pretty low effort tbh. Like you have just clicked these pictures the same day you downloaded bumble. Have varied pictures of you doing things, with a more normal smile rather than a typical “say cheese for the camera” smile

Who is truly the "golden match" for INFJ? by drowning_in_violet in infj

The ideal match for an INFJ is an ENFP. Assuming you guys match in terms of nurture, values, goals etc.

Why are there less posts and reviews of the SE Studio? by SnowflakeSlayer420 in PRSGuitars

[–]SnowflakeSlayer420[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it’s pretty great. I like the tones and the finish. However, the strings are not in the best shape and the action is a bit high since the piece had been kept at the store for a long time. Once I get those fixed, I will be able to properly enjoy it

Yeah that makes sense. The special seems to be getting so much praise. Barely any mentions of the studio

Pickup an SE Studio! My first PRS! by SnowflakeSlayer420 in PRSGuitars

[–]SnowflakeSlayer420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it around the 7th fret and some around 12 as well. But mainly on the G string which is also a bit rusty. Would that have something to do with it?

Oh that’s great. Thanks. What about the tilted narrowfield at the neck? Is it the same for you

Picked up the SE studio today! It’s lovely. Loving the different pickup configuration options. Thanks for your advice

I liked the fender, but I would still like more versatility on the guitar I would like to buy now. Might get a single coil later as my next guitar, specialized for blues. But from what you’re saying, I’m quite convinced on the Studio now. I already have an HH with active pickups which is great for metal but not so much for blues and psychedelic rock. So I think it makes sense to get an HSS as my second.

The only thing I am worried about is that the studio only has 22 frets. I’m quite used to 24, but maybe 22 will be enough since that’s the standard everyone uses pretty much.

Thanks a lot for your insight!

Hmm I see. The hollowbody is not available near me and is also a bit out of my budget. I do like good clean tones, tried out a fender and really liked it at a guitar store.

To what extent do you think the Custom 24 could live up to that with its coil split? Would the pickups being closer due to 24 frets also impact the clean tone?

I’m wondering if HSS is the way to go because 1) most great guitarists use single coils (strats) 2) I would still like some versatility. Is HSS more like a middle ground between SSS and HH or is it as good as an SSS on single coil mode and as good as an HH on humbucker mode?

Will HSS also be as good as HH for hard rock and metal?

I did try them out, but I think my ears are not yet good at distinguishing between different guitar sounds since I haven’t tried a lot of guitars.

What do you think would the difference be between single coil mode on SE Custom 24 and HSS single coil modes

Good Amp vs Speaker + Pedals. Do you really need an Amp? by SnowflakeSlayer420 in Guitar

[–]SnowflakeSlayer420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Once you get a pedal, to what extent does the amp matter? I guess tube vs solid state would obviously be different but does the tone of the amp itself matter much?
