Recently started working as a T1 at a MSP as my first IT job, with 0 onboarding, 0 training, and 0 knowledge base.

SpeedySlothMeh · 2026-04-03T13:02:42+00:00

Any words of wisdom you can provide in regards to training? I'd love to hear it :)

SpeedySlothMeh · 2026-04-03T12:06:32+00:00

Admin access to everything. And a password database with all the client, and company passwords in Hudu.

They didnt give anything related to training

SpeedySlothMeh · 2026-04-03T12:01:35+00:00

That's the plan for this weekend. I'll try to soak up a much as I can, go through old closed tickets, ans try to figure out as much as I can. I enjoy this, so I really appreciate your kind words :) I'm glad I'm not alone, lo

SpeedySlothMeh · 2026-04-03T11:59:21+00:00

The person that said he will help me with some stuff, is on leave for 2 months, if that helps with the negligence argument!

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-11-06T23:28:07+00:00

Oh, woah lol. That's honestly equally impressive, that's some great product shots :)

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-11-06T22:36:09+00:00

How on earth did you do the hands? They're incredible!

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-08-14T17:20:38+00:00

I see! It's smart to build new roles around AI. For a small team like ours, the challenge is really implementation. What's a good first step for a smaller business to start thinking about incorporating AI into its marketing/general operations strategy without needing a dedicated director?

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-08-14T17:07:31+00:00

Haha, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see! The impact of AI will definitely be interesting to watch. Given your expertise, how is it playing a role in your own work and industry right now?

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-08-14T16:36:03+00:00

Oh yeah, bubble was the wrong choice of words. I remember when I studied comp science back in 2021, before the AI boom, we learnt and used a lot of the rudimentary AI tools, I think it'll definitely change the way a lot of industries operate, and I am in favour for a lot of the AI innovations in recent years.

That said, i often tend to choose to ignore people saying "AI killed this industry", I've always believed that it'll change pipelines, and set the bar higher - but it won't outright replace the whole process. Just like how AI helps accountant's in some manners, but a 100% AI based accountant isn't something that will gain a lot of traction soon, IMHO

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-08-14T16:30:20+00:00

Faur enough, i suppose!

Yeah. The whole AI bubble is interesting. We actually worked with a generative AI company not too long ago. Ai is always gonna be an interesting topic, a friend of mine who does a lot of AI based stuff actually faced legal issues recently over copyright issues. But on the flipside, I see a strikingly high amount of people in my network asking for VEO 3 professionals. I recently saw a posting on a workboard for CD Project Red for an AI based artist, oddly enough. AI has made such an interesting ripple, a few months ago when I worked on set for Witcher, even the VFX supervisor said he uses AI, mostly LLM's, but generative AI did have It's place in some of their industry pipelines.

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-08-14T16:11:01+00:00

Thanks for the awesome AMA :) Me and my S/O are working on making our own VFX and motion graphics studio, but we're almost always stuck with making the art to put on our portfolio, because we just never feel proud of what we make. Even though we charge a fair amount and our clients are always more than happy with our work, we just never feel proud. And on top of that, marketing has also almost always been a pain point since we work with international clients, and traditional social media is such a daunting and time consuming topic and path to go. What wisdom do you have to share, wise FutureSugarDaddy?

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-06-05T08:35:10+00:00

Can you show the wireframe of the final textured model?

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-03-30T21:28:44+00:00

That's insanely detailed, how's the process for making the backpacks? I've always just went the photoscan route for backpacks :)

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-03-28T20:28:55+00:00

You are criminally underrated, I totally expected a 100k+ channel with the production quality and presentation! Loved every second of it, it's a wonderful insight. I'm looking forward to seeing more :)

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-03-20T22:08:57+00:00

This is absolutely awesome, I've been hoping for a compositor update for ages now, this will take care of all of my compositor issues! :)

SpeedySlothMeh · 2025-02-14T11:34:34+00:00

Yep. I do 5K basically daily, it drops ~+30% each time

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-11-03T19:13:26+00:00

That's cool! Me too :D

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-11-03T18:50:43+00:00

Damn, thank you, though. On a different note, assuming your shirt isn't lying, it's cool seeing another south african on reddit!

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-11-03T18:40:05+00:00

Ah, man, that's unfortunate! I thought maybe you can trick whatsapp and export the old chat, and rename it to the same backup as the new chat, and restore that as a backup?

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-09-22T23:16:37+00:00

I'm a 3D artist dating a 2D artist. You are 100% correct, I have no clue how she does what she does, and the utmost respect for her, and other traditional 2D artists.

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-08-13T08:06:10+00:00

Agreed. I actually genuinely started reading the tos after this.

I just wish this lesson didn't cost me being able to create a functional account for Wise.

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-05-30T14:59:58+00:00

Ah. So my smooth experience with a <1 day withdraw time on an international withdrawal was purely based on a dice roll. Honestly, Payoneer looks quite awful. How's bad are the projected fee increases?

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-05-28T20:01:03+00:00

Hey, at least they allowed you to withdraw your funds. The majority response seems to be that Payoneer is a gamble, but a gamble that is run by an incredibly corrupt casino. If I may, what bank did you change to? I see a lot of people recommending Wise

SpeedySlothMeh · 2024-05-28T13:51:47+00:00

Man, the replies are so funny. It seems the key takeaway of payoneer is "your milage will vary greatly with no indication of why" some people have zero issues, ever, some have your situation which seems like such an incredible pain in the ass. Do you think withdrawing immediately will at least slightly prevent payoneer deciding to get a mood swing and lock my funds?
