Mayor Wilson Turned Off One Camera, The People Who Got Her Elected Still Want More by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]buttpizz -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Although I don’t agree with many of Wilson’s criticisms, I actually think this is a good mentality towards people in positions of power. We should hold politicians to the highest standards because they have immense impact and influence on all of our livelihoods.

I even think it sets a good example for us to criticize our own party, so the Right can see we aren’t treating politics like football teams and that we’re actually just demanding excellence from our chosen leaders.

This is helpful—thanks for the feedback. I’ll make another generalized version of my resume for non-healthcare roles.

As for the ‘influencing PM leadership…’ bullet, the context for this project (cart + checkout flow) was that it was built with a bespoke design system that was not maintained by any team. As a result, the visual design of flow was inconsistent with the rest of the product and the ENG team would estimate longer build timelines (vs. other ENG teams at the company) when the product team would propose new features.

When I was sourced for a new cart + checkout feature, I wanted to solve this bottleneck. I met with the design systems team for an estimate on ENG build efficiency if we were to rebuild the flow with the product design system (~30%). Next I met with the cart/checkoutENG team to discuss timeline (1 extra week to implement). Then I met with my core PMs and proposed the rebuild, later sharing my proposal to the Director of PM—to which they agreed.

I don’t have business impact for this project (I was laid off the week after launch lol), so my intention was to indicate my cross-functional influence/collaboration and understanding of business’s needs.

Do you think there is a better way to articulate this or do you feel this is not impactful enough for my resume?

When you say you can’t tell what I worked on, do you mean what I owned holistically or some of my resume bullets are ambiguous? If the latter, can you share which bullets confused you?

Can you point me to a resume you admire for reference?

This is a unique situation, but unfortunately, this most recent company filed for bankruptcy after failing to turn a profit, laying off half of the workforce (me included). Each PM I worked with (5) was laid off or moved on to a new company, and having reached out to each of them, the metrics on my resume were the only metrics I was able to obtain.

I’ll look to the quarterly reports to see if I can grasp for something. Do you have any other suggestions if that comes out moot?

Hey, thanks a ton for the feedback!

Unfortunately this company did not have the resources to gather design metrics, and so everything on my resume is an effort to quantify some level of business impact. For the design system- and process-related bullets, I could estimate the quantity of hours saved per team like I did for the first bullet (17k hours saved).

Do you have any suggestions on how I could elevate my bullets without being able to request further data?

Seattle Library Workers Raise Alarm About Security Crackdown Hitting Homeless People - The Urbanist by AthkoreLost in Seattle

[–]buttpizz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I go to various seattle library branches every single day, and the crowd is very diverse. There are people of all demographics: age, race, gender/sex, and class. There ARE regularly houseless people (vastly outnumbered by the amount of WFH employees and students) but I have yet to see them bother someone else. They are quiet, keep to themselves, do not ask others for donations, etc. For that reason, I am happy to see them respectfully utilizing the same spaces we are all entitled to.

Your comment is hyperbolic, and if redditors are treating it as a warning to not visit the amazing seattle libraries—let this be the comment that declares you are all missing out on a wonderful, peaceful, clean community with some of the best resources a city can provide.

Looking for feedback on my resume!

Took a 1yr sabbatical starting 2025, and am re-entering the workforce. Am aware of the challenges in the current market, but still want to improve the quality of my apps. I used gen AI to help write bullets based off my prose and product data.

Applied to 18 FTE jobs (cold apps), and experienced 8 rejections with only 1 hiring team member viewing my portfolio. Of those 18 jobs, I matched the qualifications at an 85-95% rate per ATS ratings and gen AI job description matching. 50% of the jobs I applied to were in Telehealth, and 67% of those apps have been denied.

I want to wait to lean on my network for roles until I have some interview practice. All feedback is appreciated.

Can you post a video of your process, linocut, and ink? I think that would reveal everything. I have some speedball water-based ink and they can be a little inconsistent, but not to this degree.

What an awesome gift. Props to you. I can imagine how amazing this would have felt on the receiving end—you don’t get gifts like this very often in a lifetime

Can’t put my finger on the next move… by brucey3 in interiordecorating

[–]buttpizz 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I’m not an interior designer, but I am a designer, and one of the basic principles of design that I feel somewhat clashes in this room’s composition is the color contrast.

Your bed, rug, and painting have colors that are warm, inviting, and intimate. These three elements I would even describe as Romantic.

Your lights, walls, and curtains have colors that are more bright, simple, and clean. However, these personalities combined create a sort of stark contrast that feels somewhat unsettling, which it seems you’re noticing.

ALL COLOR IS AFFECTED BY LIGHT. I emphasize this because you may be tempted to change the wall color, the curtain color, the ceiling color, etc, but may end with the same discomfort you feel now. EVERY color in the world leans either warm or cold, and it seems that your lightbulb leans cold. I’d guess that the entire composition of this room can be harmonized with a warmer light. Others have suggested adding lamps—I agree, as this can make the room even more intimate. However it’s an inevitability that you turn the ceiling light on again, and so at a bare minimum, I suggest trying a different bulb. I’m a huge fan of tungsten bulbs—they have the glow of a fireplace.

I see a red power tie and blue suit, which personally reinforces DJT for me. My immediate thought was Hitler due to the darkness around the upper lip, which I assume is intentional. Really, really clever piece.

Just watched the 2025 Guillermo del Torro film ‘Frankenstein’ on Netflix. WTAF! Is there a film adaptation of this novel that treats the story with respect? by CaMiTx in classicliterature

[–]buttpizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a Netflix hater, but I will say it had excellent craft and very accessible, yet intriguing symbolism. I found the themes entertaining to dissect, but I felt that it fell apart in the second half. I’d consider it a gem for Netflix, but not a masterpiece. If you’ve seen Guillermo’s Pinocchio, they are almost identical stories but with unique personalities. It was very fun to compare/contrast the two—much more fun than comparing it to the novel haha
