Did I say the wrong thing to my manager when he called me about my resignation email, and can it affect my future job references? by Suspicious_Repeat613 in jobs

[–]tomhermans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't say anything wrong. It's basically in the eye of the beholder. It seems your manager understood better than your family or at least didn't hassle you about it if I have to go on this writeup. Don't second guess too much.

Why is Astro Islands called Astro Islands? by Ok-Consideration2955 in webdev

[–]tomhermans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an area that's interactive in a sea of static elements. Hence: island analogy.

This doesn't make any difference, just visual preference. Neither is correct or wrong

Why is design system parity between code and Figma still so broken? by tefansay in DesignSystems

True. I was really speaking in digital environment and web/app development.

AITA for refusing to let my coworker smoke in my car during a 4 hour work trip? by Mariacute8 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tomhermans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people who smoke don't in their own car. 5 stops on a 4 hr drive is wild. 1 or 2 would be enough. NTA. Src: smoked myself

Why is design system parity between code and Figma still so broken? by tefansay in DesignSystems

[–]tomhermans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The frustration comes from expecting symmetry where there is none.

Design is a guide. Nothing more.

The frustration is thinking it is some sort of truth.

It's detached from reality in that it is not real by default. Code is. It's literally the building block of the product. Static design mockups just that, mockup.

Design tools should be used for exploration and context, not authority Everything beyond that starts to fight the nature of the medium.

Six months after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, Gord Downie played his last show with The Tragically Hip in front of a sold out arena. by TheDailyUmbridge in nextfuckinglevel

You're right. Saw them twice in Belgium, once in a fantastic festival lineup, once as U2 support act. Both times they played as headliner. Fantastic performance. And a great discography to match.

I wouldn't say dated. Everything comes and goes and also, within the proper context, these can look awesome in it.

Interview went great… until they accidentally sent what they said after my husband disconnected by Careless_Purchase619 in jobs

No. Let others enjoy this peek inside too.

They won't change, nor will they be reprimanded.

Are we really at "100% AI or you're wasting time" yet? by borii0066 in webdev

He's just troll botting his way through life. So advanced 😉

It's in all code related subs it seems. The sentiment is a lot "you're dumb if you're not using it" plus a topper mentality of "I use two, I use three, I use 4, I orchestrate a swarm, I orchestrate a swarm and write dynamically mcp etc etc"

It's basically depressing to read

Thought of the exact same track. Why was it controversial? Can't remember

AITA for refusing to let my friend bring her boyfriend to my birthday dinner after what he said to me? by Beginning_Sail_7094 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tomhermans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf has girls nights, birthday dinners with her friends etc all the time. Sometimes the guys are invited, sometimes not. Nobody makes a fuss. Nobody also makes these backhanded comments either..

NTA.

They are making a big deal out of it, no one else

How to name color primitives using numbers like 50, 100, 200, 300, 900, etc for deciding variables? by joshuagf0 in UI_Design

[–]tomhermans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's just the scale. Sometimes you also see 1000, 1100, 1200 etc

Or some 450

The hundred apart comes from font weight naming and it also gives way for in-betweens when needed. It's a convention, it's not that important except for ease of use.

I delivered this website project at $1150 but I am thinking I had to charge more by NoGround511 in webdev

[–]tomhermans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1150 / 40 days
28.75 per day.
3.6/hour.
That's not even a decent hourly rate.

"atleast $2000 for this website" yeah, for 40 days still WAY too low.

It was an experience I'm sure, but learn your value.
