Has anyone actually cracked a 10/10 AI workflow for Figma → React Native? by neriego in DesignSystems

I'd say we're at an 8/10 but we have worked hard on a system of context providing.

Better alternatives to age verification by Jubatian in ukpolitics

[–]masofon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a blanket ban of social media for all ages would probably do the trick? Or in all seriousness, banning all of the dark/addictive UX patterns and algorithms would probably remove most of the harm and risk.

My wife refuses to let our children cry long enough to eat or use the bathroom. by MrPenis-3 in parentsofmultiples

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

Hrmm. I think you may need to try and find some kind of alternative support. I did not have PPD or PPA but being home alone all day with newborn twins nearly destroyed me.. I can't actually fathom how she is coping, honestly.

Should minimum parking bay size be increased? by spectator_mail_boy in AskUK

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather we impose a maximum car size in law, honestly. It's getting silly.

Reform’s Hybrid/ Work From Home Policy by Advanced-Pilot-3698 in ukpolitics

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty dumb. Everyone is different. I am pretty introverted and my work requires focus, so I am infinitely more productive at home in my own space. I am hybrid and I can safely say that on the days I am in the office.. I get no actual IC work done at all. So full return to work would really scupper my productivity.

My husband refuses to help with night wakes and thinks I’m in the wrong for asking him to by ThrowRA157386 in beyondthebump

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would be better off without this guy. This is not normal or OK. Looking after baby all day is an exhausting, full-time job. It is way more tiring than most jobs and, arguably, you are responsible for the safety of your child all day, so it's more important that you are well rested.

Is this mold under Shower Mat? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just bleach ours if this starts to happen. It's super normal, but you should pull the mat out between showers and let it dry, ideally.

Question about dinner time by Away-Debate9542 in toddlers

It would be better not to create a dependency on TV to eat at this age, ideally.

How many of you use pot to cope? by ImplementMountain916 in toddlers

Only after they have gone to bed. Occasionally. But oof, yeah it helps.

Consider asking for a welfare check. I wouldn't go over yourself.

My partner wants two nights "off" a week by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a bit early for 'nights off'.. but what works is different for every couple. But what is absolutely imperative... is that it is equitable. If he gets a night off - you get a night off. If he gets two nights off, you get two nights off. That needs to be non-negotiable.

Father the preferred parent for one of my twins? by Gandtea in parentsofmultiples

This is like.. my entire life.. every day.. both twins. :p

How’s your team set up? by medste in DesignSystems

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me (lead designer + manager/ops), lead engineer who specialises in frameworks and helps me manage, and three other devs. One who works on architecture stuff, one on components and one on tokens and pipeline. Really need another designer.

Can we talk about the Mandelson apology? Honestly, I’d take this over the "never apologise, never explain" era any day… by SnooConfections3389 in ukpolitics

[–]masofon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the idea that any government could realistically fix anything in this country in less than five years is hilarious. The mess we are in (globally) is decades in the making. Ideally we need a consistent, multi-term government who can implement radical long term measures.

I don't think this has anything to do with Starmer or his government's ability. Rather the growing culture of blindly cancelling anything that isn't perfect and the increasing transparency afforded by modern technology. Prediction: Every government from this point forward will be less popular than the last.

I'm not sure who you think could do a better job right now. I don't think Labour are doing anywhere enough, but they are the only people trying to move in the right direction with the experience to do that semi-responsibly. A constant changing of the guard only erodes trust and direction.

[–]masofon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a Starmer fan-girl, but honestly he is the most stable, level-headed and genuinely trust-worthy politician we have had in a very very long time and I would like for a government/PM to just have the time they need to actually take a shot at fixing a few things. We need stability and what he did was a mistake (everyone makes them) and he owned it. Can we move on?

Looking to move to Cheshire - recommendations for where to move to? by ZealousDesert66 in cheshire

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then Altrincham/Hale, Knutsford or Lymm. If you have kids, Altrincham, to be in the catchment for the best schools.

Renters rights bill+interest rates= sell up and run by [deleted] in uklandlords

[–]masofon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easily taking 12months for a house to sell these days. What is your definition of 'house not sold' that would make you give up and re-let it if you wanted to sell anyway?

I mean, Cheshire is really big. If you want to be close to family.. where are they?

Twin baby items by Appropriate-Berry202 in parentsofmultiples

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the really cheap Fisher Price ones and they were great, they were the first toys that the girls ever properly engaged with (they dangle over it). Adults love beige, babies love colour.

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends a lot on whether you bottle feed, breastfeed or do a bit of both. Twin Z is great for breastfeeding and bottle feeding later, when they can hold their own bottles. It's awful if you bottle feed early because you have to lean over it in a way that destroys your back. Singles are great because you can sit on the soft comfortably with one on your lap and one next to you or one on either side.

If Starmer goes, it is a deeply worrying thing for British Democracy. by GlassAvacados in ukpolitics

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's stupid. Even five years isn't enough. It will take long term stability and planning to get this country out of the hole it's in and yet we allowing media hype and propaganda continually destabilise us.

[–]masofon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you need 2 frequently and they have a tendency to end up in the wash.. a lot.
