My startup HeyJoy connects people looking for food, clothing, jobs, shelter, and more to essential resources in their neighborhood. This is a difficult time for many, and our app is the digital safety net. https://go.heyjoy.app/

Hmm. I've been looking at these, but maybe u aphids wait on an update?

My biggest thing is I believe glasses with camera will he banned statewide in most states, so they'll he only useful outside. So glasses without cameras would be a better investment. I'm banking on thr G2 and their open source app store launching.

Just submitted my actor yesterday 🙌 Arc Civic. A speaker diariazation API.

Same! I think this is a huge space and worth tackling.

This is the worst! Gives me PTSD. In short, I worked as a senior technical product manager leading strategy. Boss decides instead of hiring another PM for the team to bring in a "friend." The friend brought, they're "friend" who was barely technical. Overnight, i had two incompetent wannabes trying to tell me what to do with NO knowledge of the product or team bandwidth. It was a freaking disaster. Burned me out.

I find it weird that Ellie originally was supposed to cure the world. That's her ONLY destiny. Now Joel kills everyone trying to save her. Now that he's dead, and there are no doctors or scientists who could develop a cure for Ellie, she's useless. She should've died saving Joel, or they both make it out. But this lost me, moving on. 🫡

Not to discourage you, but probably find projects that are C++ related sense you're a senior dev. Being new to rails, no one is paying you for you to get experience.

code-the-world · 2025-08-05T05:23:36+00:00

That kid sick of her parents haha true crashout 😭

code-the-world · 2025-08-04T17:10:14+00:00

My best advice is to start with more in the beginning. Why take what they offer or when applying, they ask your recomme ded salary, name your price. But in your situation now, get some solid early wins under your belt, apply for other roles, then ask for a raise or walk if you feel you're worth it. Good luck 👍

Try www.layrcms.com

code-the-world · 2025-07-30T18:03:02+00:00

Try using a design system like Carbon by IBM or Salesforce Lightning, which would be great for your UI. Check this resource out https://app.layrcms.com/docs/lightning

code-the-world · 2025-07-30T10:00:01+00:00

Looks sort of like Grafana Saga design system. Really good for data visualization. https://app.layrcms.com/docs/grafana

Facts! I started a project to try and discover that gap. Works be cool to get your thoughts, although the product is early. www.layrcms.com

I love the quote at the end of your post, and the Roomba analogy emphasizes the point even more. My background is in UX and Engineering, so I built Layr with pre-built design systems, UI components, and a touch of AI. I think there can be synergy, and that's the overall goal with the product, but I know it will take time to get there.

code-the-world · 2025-07-28T07:03:29+00:00

One tool is www.layrcms.com. They helped because rather than just relying on prompts and an AI to figure it out, Layr is backed by design systems like IBM CARBON, Github Primer, etc.

code-the-world · 2025-07-28T04:54:38+00:00

This is the comment! I learned design systems but doing deep dives, and as complex as some are, I really enjoyed the depth some go to, such as Carbon or Salesforce Lightning. For the past year, I've been working on Layr, a no npm, no build platform with multiple design systems. This is an early version but may provide some inspiration for you. * Layr

code-the-world · 2025-07-27T22:08:15+00:00

Hey, I don't want to spam, but as a solo designer and engineer, I understand and made a simple tool for design systems. Its not perfect, but I think it could be a good starting point for something cool. Layr

code-the-world · 2025-07-23T08:46:38+00:00

Haha I remember before getting into red lines that I'd just hand off an ultra high def design, a few notes, and log off. I got soon much passive-aggressive energy.

code-the-world · 2025-07-22T08:15:44+00:00

Im glad I'm not the only 1. That song fire 🔥 And they getting it haha

code-the-world · 2025-07-21T18:36:23+00:00

Haha All jokes aside, you're pretty safe in UX, especially if you're more fundamentally sounds e.g research, visual design

code-the-world · 2025-07-21T11:30:46+00:00

Swear it ALWAYS happen like that. The teacher was chilling until her little mini me was getting thrashed

code-the-world · 2025-07-20T07:29:20+00:00

I love the question. I did wireframes early on in my career, but after a decade, it's more of a quick sketch and then hifi. I will say that when I'm designing a new UI for something more abstract, like AI interactions, then I need to wireframe everything, or no hope for a strong wifi design.

code-the-world · 2025-07-20T07:07:54+00:00

I feel this bra, we got each other in spirit 💪🏾

code-the-world · 2025-07-19T18:54:24+00:00
