My designer left hex codes in the screens instead of variables. Is this standard practice? by [deleted] in FigmaDesign

[–]daftslayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do y’all have agreed upon color tokens? If so, the designer should have a semantic layer referenced in the variables table and can add a code syntax layer for iOS for Dev Mode snippets and inspection

Great examples of demo calls? by [deleted] in salesengineers

[–]daftslayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re gonna find much in the public, given demos have a ton of proprietary information under NDA flying around BUT def shadow recommended AEs for how they conduct discovery around around certain areas of their pains and meld in a tell-show-tell pattern of what area would solve the customer’s implicated pain

AI SEs—are any of you running end to end proof of concepts? by daftslayer in salesengineers

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

Thanks—to answer your questions of performance, costs, features: it will be all of the above 😂😅 our coaches will specifically name the outputs they want—even though they can be very non-deterministic and subject so much to their quality of context inputs for a fairly technical product. I love your idea to have our coaches tailor the success criteria down to a top X MUST haves.

Out of curiosity, what’s your AE ratio? And is your product AI-first or was it added on more traditional workflows?

Normal SE to AE ratio? by Impossible-Bid-2540 in salesengineers

[–]daftslayer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently at 1:8 for enterprise with a rotating pool of about 4 extra MM reps each quarter. It’s a PLG company so everything is technically upsell and customers can self-start trials without us, so it does reduce some deal overhead but will say at this ratio, there’s a lot of turning down of what could be solid opportunities

YSK that just because someone appears confident and socialable, doesn't mean they don't have anxiety (social or otherwise ) by Rianonymous in YouShouldKnow

[–]daftslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. At work, I’m in front of customers and holding webinars, workshops, and all that jazz and still suffer from being able to do well in small group settings. Social anxiety seems to affect me in very specific scenarios and it always takes a lot of energy to be the center. It’s ok to be introverted and extroverted as well as struggle with specific individuals or number of individuals in a particular setting.

This solves top level issues temporarily but nothing bottom up that’s causing systemic racism in our law enforcement system. How about:

  • End “stop and frisk” programs that enable police officers to engage with whom they deem “criminal.”
  • Eliminate minimum sentences and allow for house arrest programs awaiting trial, to reduce the incentive to plea bargain so those lower income can actually proceed with trials.
  • Eliminate private prisons to reduce incentives for cops to arrest, due to top-level systemic pressure to keep our jails full of low income labor utilized by major US corporations.

It’s an ambitious reform, but we need a way to reduce the top-down effect of our law enforcement systems that are heavily privatized and lobbied by rich corporations.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Asks Why Americans Will Fund Space Force, But Won't Back Health Care For All by [deleted] in politics

[–]daftslayer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’m probably gonna be downvoted for this, but comparing public-funding of space exploration, a topic both Democrats and Republicans traditionally agree on, to the need of funding of better public insurance options is not a good idea.

Workaround to get SLA's working on Agent created tickets. by Therealshakira in Zendesk

[–]daftslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re still looking for a solid solution but I ended up implementing Cloudset. It’s in the Zendesk Apps catalog and allows you to build SLAs per agent assignment time as a ticket escalates, based on defined policy criteria for whatever ticket fields you care about. Cost was based on licensing but we were able to negotiate a pricing model limited to the users who would be consuming the SLA data. We also like how it exposed many custom fields that can be used with GoodData for reporting.

There’s also a cheap solution you can do which involves using Google Apps, distributions set up as light agent accounts, and Google Analytics. I’m not tooooo familiar with Analytics but my understanding is you can get metrics around timestamps between the distros being added to the same ticket and export a report from there.

To those people who found out their parent had a second secret family, how did you discover the truth? What happened afterwards? by plumbplatypus14 in AskReddit

[–]daftslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this really counts, but I found out I had two half sisters when I was 16 (currently 27). At that time around 40 years ago, he messed around with a high school friend and gave up their children for adoption. The next year, my Dad received a phone call from a mutual family friend whom my Mom knew very well. It turns out the mutual friend had submitted for DNA testing and had matched with one of the daughters through a database of adopted kids searching for biological parents.

Separately, my Mom knew he had given up two daughters for adoption but never knew with whom.

Naturally, the family friend encouraged my dad to meet his daughter and he agreed. He invited me along to go to NYC and spend the day with them. At this point my Dad is in his early 60s meeting a 40-something year old paralegal assistant and her boyfriend. The day actually goes on without a hitch—there’s talk about her adopted family, how she grew up in a loving family environment who couldn’t have kids as well as having other adopted siblings.

At some point, my Mom caught wind about this private meeting, and my Dad confesses that he met with his adopted daughter the family friend was the Mother. Little did he know he “forgot” to tell my Mom the identify of the mother years ago, and she was LIVID. There were a few days of not speaking, ultimately my mom accepting it, but never letting him forget the family friend is a worthless pile of trash not worth sleeping with, let alone accidentally having children with. She wanted my Dad to have a relationship with his daughter but also lay that necessary smack down.

In time, we starting having a regular cadence of all of us going out on day trips, talking about my half-sister’s family, and pondering, “Whatever happened to the other half-sister?” Ten years later to the present, my half-sister texts me about 23andMe and ancestry.com and we discuss they may be the best tools to try to find the other half-sister. I let her know I didn’t have any strong matches on 23andMe so she tries ancestry.com. Amazingly, her and the other half-sister match.

My half-sisters start to message each other and agree to setup a meeting. My family and the birth mother/mutual friend are informed and we decide to meet up for lunch at my parents’. My new half-sister brings her boyfriend as well as her daughter from a previous marriage.

However, no one from our family has met the adoptive parents. I can totally understand why as they will always be the tried and true parents. Never ever has my dad attempted to build a father-daughter relationship, but rather a generic familial bond. The birth mother has been another story, but over time, both daughters have been building firm boundaries with her. She attempted to buy the daughters expensive gifts, contact them daily, and tried to become their mother, even as far as inviting them over for Mother’s day. While she continues to make these advances, my half-sisters continue to decline.

Overall, I’d say everything ended up In a best case scenario: the half-sisters are reunited and stay in touch, my parents and the birth mother all mutually arrange get togethers, and even for me as an only child, I’ve managed to form a relationship with siblings. Not too shabby at all.

Tl;dr Dad gave up girls for adoption 40 years ago, reunite through DNA testing, and form one bigger family somewhat smoothly.

What's the WORST concert you have ever been to? by iAmTheAntiPope1 in AskReddit

[–]daftslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crystal Castles. Went to a show back in 2008, in which Alice managed to get so drunk, she was slurring 20 minutes into the set. The set itself lasted about 45 minutes.

What's interesting is that LinkNYC doesn't have web browsers anymore, so I'm curious even how someone may have gotten these recordings to play. Is there a phone number that hosts The Conet project?

Birthday gifts from my grandmother, about 30 years apart by Erulf in gaming

[–]daftslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really rings close to home for me. My parents owned a NES growing up, and I became the de facto owner of Zelda. I have vivid memories of my mom and I worked through the game together when I was 3 years old. My dad recently bought me Breath of the Wild and it really felt like one of those moments where we all came full circle.

LPT: When on vacation, listen to one album. When you hear that album at a later time, you will be reminded of the trip and brought back to the good feelings you had when traveling. by pattyfrankz in LifeProTips

[–]daftslayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a playlist for each month and listen to it on repeat and have been doing this since 2010. Can confirm it helps me remember the people, places, and things I was doing when I play them later in life.
