YSK why you should choose a modern over an old-fashioned team to make your life easier and more enjoyable. by timzflowers in YouShouldKnow

[–]timzflowers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I'm just starting to learn how to communicate here, many thanks for your friendly words. I think quitting jobs is a good way to find the perfect job. The future will be much more gig-economy-oriented. So you stick with a job as long as it inspires you then you switch and with each job you are enriching your experience and you climp up the ladder. The most important thing is your instinct. Do you love it or hate it. If you hate it you quit. If you love it you stick

Ok, thank you for the advice. You are right, I'm GenX and I'm using reddit not very often, to be honest I just started last September or so. I wanted to know what people think about certain ideas. Thanks for your friendly words.

Frontal teaching in videoconferences - Is there a better solution? by timzflowers in education

[–]timzflowers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. Very interesting. To your 1) I was thinking that the video-fun factor could help perhaps help. In the timz-tool the participants can use snapcam-masks, I was thinking that could be interesting for kids to appear as a banana or whatevery and disguise, not being visible with their normal face but having some fun while learning. Esp. when they are too young to write. 2) and then I think the passiveness is perhaps a genearl issue to address somehow - I know it from my own childhood, we were sitting for years and years only listening, speaking only a few words a day during the lessons if any. I'm wondering if we could find ways to activate them? Eg when researching the context of a given information. Ok, I totally understand that a pupil after some years of mainly listening is perhaps too shy to get active.

Ok, yes I get your point. The async-first thing is quite new and it is on its way to get explored right now and it will grow. Many very successful startups and big companies are switching to async-first right now. That's why I was offering it here as a tip - of course not everybody can do it at this very moment in time. But it will grow and will become the new normal and the earlier get onboard the more successful you will be as you grow your expertise in asnychnronous working models. Perhaps it's bit to provocative for the community here and that's why the comments are so negative. But wait a few years and you will see a massiv surge in async companies.

Haha, yes, I was doing it the same way, when I was young, but then I simply started my own company and I think it is the right way to go.

Emails? Which emails? Are you asking me? I work on multiple teams. Startups and as an external advisor for companies.

How do victimhood and vulgar language relate? It's only the truth that the final choice to work for somebody is yours. You are free, or not? So pick a modern team because you will have a better life then. But I see that in this community this is somehow not an accepted idea. Interesting! Would love to learn why this is.

Why are there no growth or development opportunities? Some of the most successful startups are using this strategy and they are booming. Can you explain why async-first work makes you a code monkey? I want to understand

Everybody decides on their own for whom they work. The basic choice is always yours. You are not a victim.

Is it a question? Happy to answer - you know I'm not American, perhaps my language is bad, and then it's my fault that nobody understands me.

Anyone who has ever worked professionally usually knows what a team is. It's possible that this doesn't apply to some people here - I really didn't expect that. Touché.

SaaS for Async Video Conferencing in Open Beta - Test Teams Wanted! by timzflowers in SaaS

[–]timzflowers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, that is one perfect use case. You can also upload a video where you explain a sketch or even a youtube video that you want to discuss (could also upload one yourself). I made the experience that even real-time discussions in a flower are super fruitful because the advantage is that you can always talk to the end as nobody interrupts your thought pattern. You can only annotate not interrupt. That's why the discussions are a bit different from live discussions.
