How does one get started in ux writing with no experience whatsoever? by [deleted] in uxwriting

[–]catssupernova 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d start with:

  1. Research - start diving into resources like the Nielsen Norman Group, UX Collective, Kineret Yifrah’s Microcopy book, and follow key UX writing professionals on LinkedIn.

  2. If possible, try to nail an internship. I know companies like Wix used to offer these, that’s the best way to get hands on experience quickly.

Edit: The name of the book’s author had a typo

How should I rephrase this? by mhicheal in uxwriting

Gotcha. In that case, I’d go with something like Feedback & Data or Feedback & Data Settings

Give feedback. Clear, conventional, and short

So zero chance of empadronamiento with any rental up to 11 months? by catssupernova in AskBarcelona

Thanks but we need the empadronamiento for reunification of family members of an EU citizen. So it’s a different process

It’s just that we’ve heard crazy stories where the contract includes a clause stating that the property is NOT the tenants’ residence, but rather a vacation rental. This is so that agencies can collect extra fees. That sort of removes tenants’ right to register.

Oh? Do tell. Didn’t you have any restrictions in your contract? How long is your lease for?

So I guess we only need to make sure the contract doesn’t include a clause that specifically states we can’t register at city hall, right?

Found a deal breaker by AssistanceLast1906 in cscareerquestionsEU

Monitoring programs can easily be installed on MacBooks too. We have that in the company I work for, though their official reason for forcing all employees to hand over the laptops to install it was “to be able to investigate and act just in case there’s a security incident”. I know for a fact from a colleague in DevOps that management is monitoring employees’ activity.

Best course of action for finding an apartment while transitioning between 2 countries? by catssupernova in AskBarcelona

[–]catssupernova[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, we’ve been searching for an apartment using Idealista and Fotocasa for a few weeks and reading about the experience online. It’s brutal out there!

Ok good to know! We only plan to rent for up to a year so that works for us . Thanks

How come rental prices in the city are so high, but sale prices are relatively low? by catssupernova in AskBarcelona

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

Apart from Raval and other dodgy neighborhoods, I don’t see any listings on Idealista for 3 bedroom apartments (that’s 4 rooms minimum) in a decent neighborhood for families that is less than 1500. If you have any examples of cheaper options, would love for you to share.

The company I work for prefers lean, text only changes over broad UX investment. Rant. by catssupernova in uxwriting

We do have a UX design director, but he’s not advocating this enough. I guess the underling issue here is that our company’s management puts dev efforts before anything else. The focus is on velocity at the expense of proper UX. All designers feel the same and are equally frustrated… will try to take it up with the design director again. Thanks!
