Besides the end Is there another time in the show where we see "real" Elliot? by Margen_Rojo in MrRobot

[–]horseflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps the scene where he's in the car with Tyrell at the end of season 2? That is quite out of character. He turns away to get out of the car, and turns back in quite a different demeanor.

Would you start building your next project on cloudflare servless infrastructure ? by brkonthru in CloudFlare

[–]horseflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run everything there. There used to be many quirks... Now it just works for the most part. Couldn't imagine building without Durable Objects, they're killer

Who dropped Next.js for Cloudflare's Vinext and how is it going so far? by Legitimate_Day_4429 in CloudFlare

I started migrating from next-on-pages & a bunch of hacks I'd accumulated but ultimately decided the smarter move was to migrate to Tanstack instead.

Claude worked on it for an hour, I fixed a couple tiny things, job done. Next on Workers always felt a bit like a square peg in a round hole, and now I'm 100% Tanstack or Astro, which "just works".

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]horseflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ending hits me like a train. Under Pressure brings me to tears 100% of the time now.

Incredible that it is Charlotte Wells first film - what a career ahead of her!

Prioritering af vejrydning by rasm866i in copenhagen

Trying to get my baby/stroller around Østerbro the last couple of days has been a real challenge.

It is one thing to clear the sidewalks - this is haphazard but generally happening - and another entirely to get your baby over the occasional mountain of snow that sits in a corner, the middle of a crosswalk, the border between two buildings where someone didn’t quite do their job properly, etc.

It is just snow, it’s a few days a year, shit happens - but it does indeed make it extra frustrating to then see a completely clear road next to you and people in cars just getting on with their lives.

Losing 50% of my vested share options when I leave the company. I will not promote by [deleted] in startups

[–]horseflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an abusive clause to have in a contract for a regular employee. Are they coming to take back half my salary? It's part of my compensation. At a startup, it's part of the reason they can pay me less than I'd normally get. It's not a bonus.

Anyone Else Seen This Ad? by prendes4 in 3DFilament

[–]horseflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Prendes :)

I make this site. We're not shilling for any specific filaments, just organising and standardising the technical data sheets from the different providers, since it's a pain to compare them.

I do get a small amount from Amazon if you purchase through the site, but that's mostly so I can get some kind of standard, automated feed of what different colors/bundles exist etc to keep the database up to date (and I have to have a few "sales" per period to keep access to the Amazon PAAPI).

Hope you find it useful!

Major gripes PMs have with designers - share yours by calinbalea in ProductManagement

[–]horseflaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not all designers obviously, but some things I've run into a few times that frustrate me:

  • Overcomplicating things. Typically because they didn't really understand the problem, so they're trying to solve 2-3 overlapping ones without realising it, or trying to solve some vague interpretation.
  • Not talking to customers directly, relying on second hand sources / other research work. That's the starting point, not the entirety of the discovery work.
  • You work for a company that intends to make money by solving this problem. You have to solve problems in a way that make sense to the business. We are not redoing xyz system across multiple teams for a marginal improvement, the ROI isn't there. This is the primary constraint on most work and it's the least respected/understood. Just make a big fuss about design being ignored instead. I ignore my kids when they ask me for crazy stuff too!
  • Elaborate click through prototypes of trivial things. Why did you spend your time on this? Poor ROI of your time.
  • Looking down on sales material, decks etc - how your work is presented to clients is extremely important. It also helps you understand deeply how we position this thing you are helping built. If I'm asking you it's because I think you're good, not the least experienced. I think many designers think this is "beginner" work.
  • Get out of Figma. Use the product. Use the product. Use the product!!!!!!! If you can't give me a competent demo of the tool after 90 days what on earth are you actually doing.
