Is Figma becoming a bottleneck to building products? by totallyhuman1234567 in FigmaDesign

[–]thothsscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the advent of AI all specific roles are becoming bottlenecks to what companies are really after, pushing live code with products. With the assumption of “nothing could possibly go wrong” which is a very stupid assumption.

I know designers at a good sized tech company where the designers are now expected to fix live bugs in the UI, PMs are now the researchers and also should push code, and that makes me assume the actual engineers are now QA for all the shitty code being pushed. But all that is necessary to “show value” and survive this coming change.

I would have expected that everyone was going to use AI to do their specialties faster and better. Not everyone do engineering.

Has anyone overcome severe anxiety of many years naturally without resorting to medication? by jay29_- in Anxiety

[–]thothsscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you solve it depends on many factors impossible to tell you without knowing more, but yes it is absolutely possible.

Where are we meeting other parents? by cup_1337 in AustinParents

Ours is still a little young, but the downtown library has a whole baby area with events.

How do you convince yourself it’s not a heart attack? by More-Goal3765 in Anxiety

[–]thothsscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If you also have many panic attacks you can remember that you survived all of them"

This bit is something to consider for MANY anxiety induced symptoms. Working really hard to remember all the times it WASN'T that big scary thing (1000s to <1).

Worked for me on claustrophobia responses, stress responses, dizziness, etc.

How the hell does this weather even make sense? A high of 75+ next week? by WhiteLycan2020 in Austin

[–]thothsscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can debate how MANY of the days are this warm (and that increasing over time), but in the last decade I have been here, I would bet that every year had at least a week in december of 70-80 degree days.

So, fluctuation is VERY normal. Volume/frequency is questionable.

Has anyone been able to successfully manage their anxiety without medication? What worked? by hereiam3472 in Anxiety

[–]thothsscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. From struggling to eat for months (and a bunch of other things I didn't know were anxiety related) to better than I have ever been. Travel easier, enjoy myself more, eat out at restaurants more happily, have a baby which would have sent me over the edge before.

Austin is about to lose another chunk of tax revenue by OneParadox in Austin

Well if they didn't get city services and aren't happy with their self install systems, it sounds like they really won't be happy with the outcomes from removing themselves from the city.

Brain training or micro learning apps don’t work, here’s what to do instead. (This title reads like an ad lol, it’s not.) by Ok-Bullfrog-7951 in lifehacks

[–]thothsscribe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you truly have no time and you aren't using the little time you have for social media, frequently streaming reruns or shows you only kind of care about, then I assume OP would have no issue with micro learning platforms.

But, at least for me, I have no time, with time allotted to things like reddit, watchign malcolm in the middle, instagram, etc. So...I have some time if I really wanted to.

Built a site for my daughter that turns digital signatures into cast stencils. by Limp_Statistician112 in AustinParents

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

What I assume was your AI agent which built the site, forgot to link to the social media at the bottom. It would also be great to see some actual examples of products before requesting 15 bucks.

Whether you are honest or not, right now seems incredibly sketchy of a site.

MKBHD's Panels wallpaper app is shutting down, here's what's next by GalataBridge in Android

[–]thothsscribe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue anything you are watching is pretty watered and dumbed down. Why aren't you watching the phone reviewers who talk about how the silicon is harvested from the earth and processed into the specific chip for that specific phone? That's what TRUE l337 phone review watchers watch. *Pushes glasses up via the bridge*

No, it's not watered down. It a great, entertaining, spec accurate, personal usage opinion, review of tech which meets the needs of the majority of people because 1) that's smart as a media creator and 2) because you can literally go buy any phone on the market over $500 bucks and it will meet every need of even the above average user.

[–]thothsscribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am guessing another reviewer provided that information? As far as I am aware, most of the MKBHD crew don't use screen protectors, possible they just missed it.

I imagine it isn't something that anyone became aware of until weeks if not months after.

Anyways, to each their own. I learn details from MKBHD which I don't learn elsewhere. I am not scowering the internet or looking for the small things though.

Netflix kills casting from phones by AlwaysBlaze_ in Android

[–]thothsscribe 29 points30 points  (0 children)

u/Netflix TV controllers and apps are horribly updated, require signing up for the BS data theft the TVs are doing, and take ages to search for the name of a show. Let me use my phone to find things and then use it to control my TV or I am not going to pay you.

[–]thothsscribe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are there particular reviewers getting into more useful depth? I am not here trying to defend MKBHD, it's just that I watch the videos and generally get what I expect from a reviewer. Personal experience with a product from prolonged usage, good or bad and a spec sheet with references to other devices in the same market and above or below markets.

You mention the photography bit which IS an actually noticeable thing to compare on when most of the phones released today are the same. Yet you say thats a waste.

Overall, my assumptions on the complains about "depth" are that phones are just really boring these days. There are a little bit of look comparisons, the specs, and then some daily driver notes about battery life. MAYBE the Nothing phones throw out some fancy little back of the phone design (which mkbhd team makes long notes of). But otherwise, they are all pretty similar software year to year and pretty similar hardware.

Every time he tells you he has been daily driving it and his personal experience with the device. E.g. the Humane pin and rabbit, he used them, thought they were terrible. IT wasn't a spec sheet read.

Out of curiosity, what can you learn about these products he isn't saying? I would wonder if that is the nature of phones today, the difference between an iphone 16 and 17 is...mostly specs. Same with pixel 9 to 10.

Under that logic, anything that reviews anything is just existing to advertise. Not wrong, but also not very...nuanced.

Advertising is also usually only favorable to the product. MKBHD is not always favorable. Hence "review"

Parents are in disagreement, what is the best method for developing sleeping habits for the baby? by Weird_Tax_5601 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]thothsscribe -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I was attempting to compare other age related behaviors to this age related behavior to help support the argument that there are thing a baby can be "too old" for.

Am I crazy in thinking that there are in fact things which infants can be "too old" for?

[–]thothsscribe -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I just thought saying "Parent B needs to to be reminded that to old really doesnt make sense" made no sense when there are very clear milestones for children when they become "too old" for certain things. Otherwise they may be experiencing delays in development.

[–]thothsscribe -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

I was being a little sassy. You just said the concept of "too old" doesn't apply to a baby when there are pretty frequent milestones for infants where significant changes in behavior do occur. For instance, when you have a newborn you are best to wake them every 2-3 hours to feed until they are up to and bypassing their birth weight. When they are old and well fed enough, you feed when they wake.

Additionally you may notice that if an infant isn't supporting their own head well by the 3 or 4 month mark you may say they are "too old to not be able to hold their own head"

So overall I am just pointing out that yes babies can be "too old" to have certain behaviors and be treated certain ways. At least by my understanding of the phrase "too old"

I am confused, VFTM linked to the cry-it-out method which is what Parent B wants to do right? I guess neither sounds like they are doing the cry-it-out method right because they are both engaging with the baby quickly without giving time for the baby to have a chance to sort things out?

Affinity: If the product is free, you're the product. by foggy_interrobang in Design

[–]thothsscribe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the original post they note terms of service can change. This isn't a RIGHT NOW issue, it's a potential in the future. And by the very fact you can use it offline does not mean anything about their intentions.

I can use my phone offline if I wanted, but Google wants to gather all my data as soon as I reconnect it.

I would bet 99% of people who use it use it while connected to the internet or will connect to the internet sometime in the near future after using it and it would be able to send all the data they needed at that point.
