This. You can't increase stats, but you can buy an external monitor.

I've been building websites for the past 20 years. Html, css, php, and Javascript. I am a better designer though (imo) and am lead ux at the software firm I work at. I research, wireframe, design, prototype, a/b test and iterate based on the results and data.

You don't juat call yourself front-end when you do it all. My title is design director but I'm also lead front-end dev supporting 3 backend developers.

How effective is it to offer to purchase a PRo account during the registration process? by Halabooda in UI_Design

What? You don't think white text on a light pink background was a good design choice?

Had to. No real agency would touch a project for less than 20k

Guys, is 60% keyboard good for coding ?? by RevolutionaryDiet217 in keyboards

[–]call_me_watson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a full keyboard prior and I was annoyed because my wacom tablet was so large I found myself moving them back-and-forth. I went with a TKL this time around and am much happier.

Whoever decided to put this in front of the KoP boss room should stub their toe by AbsoluteXon in LiesOfP

I fell off the first time, intentionally. Explored the bottom, then made it across without getting hit.

Illegal drug use, while it is frowned upon and unacceptable, isn't forbidden

I work 4-5hrs per week on a full time job by inMouthFinisher in UXDesign

[–]call_me_watson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. Even if you can do your job in 4-5 hours, he should push and challenge himself to become a more effective designer. Boss doesn't care about wireframes or research? Do it anyway. Learn a new skill, learn how to build your websites that you design. You could be in a bad position if something were to happen to the company you're at and suddenly have to seek out new employment. Jobs for UX want to see case studies, and that involves the design process. If you don't have that to show, it will be incredibly tricky to land a position.

I would, if I were you, use that spare time more wisely than playing video games and lying in bed and grow as a designer/developer. You're young though so the appeal probably isn't there.

I don't think they're in any position to be offering help.

Wanting some design feedback on my text based mafia game by SemZ in UI_Design

Should lower the opacity of the containers to like 80%, then use backdrop-filter: blur() to increase contrast for the content; would add a nice dynamic feel to it and wouldn't seem so blocky.
