It took me a long time to actually come up with a decent submission. I wasn’t super clear what the theme is, and then once I came up with ideas I had a hard time actually generating what I wanted lol.

Here I was going for both the literal “upside down” aspect, and also Stranger Things “upside down” vibes.

I was really hoping that I could get the dude in the reflection to be removed or be different, but I couldn’t seem to get both that and everything else I wanted in the same image

MS copilot designer prompta man in a hazmat suit falls through a puddle into a spooky alternate reality. in contrast, the reflection in the puddle shows a cheerful metropolis. the man is still falling through the air. the scene is very surreal.

here are some other ideas I hadCity built on the interior surface of a hollow earth. It would just NOT make the city upside down without anything below it but a glowing ball.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Yeah I’m not advanced enough with this lol. I just use either copilot, or wombo dream (it can make some nice fantastical landscapes, but it’s terrible at people). My familiarity with the different tools is really poor, I mean heavily on just being creative with my prompts and giving up on ideas that don’t work out lol

PeriodicallyPedantic,

There are common traps and employer don’t spend money/time to train their devs to avoid them.

SOLID principles are pretty decent but a surprising number of people don’t do any of them

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I hope windmills are better constructed than that in the future 😐

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I wonder how hard it’d be to make a PWA and host it on GitHub 🤔 Maybe this would be a good yet-another-hobby-project-ill-never-complete to pick up

PeriodicallyPedantic,

He’ll kick you apart, he’ll kick you apart! Oohh!

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Put shoes on the end of a broom? Sounds like something he’d do

PeriodicallyPedantic,

What are they gonna do if you refuse to sign? Fire you?

If this guy voluntarily left, then he wasn’t getting a severance package that they could withhold (and on that note, this is a good reason to include involuntary severence in your employment contract, if you can negotiate it).

PeriodicallyPedantic,

A wonderful product or a wonderful community? It sounds like you’re describing the people who were on it and not the platform itself.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

But they’re not gonna offer severence to someone who quits, right?

The wording made it sound like he quit rather than got laid off.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Laws will differ in different places, but I’m familiar with 3 categories of terminations:

  1. With cause (firing)
  2. Without cause (layoff)
  3. Voluntary (quitting)

When someone is terminated with cause or quits, they are not entitled to severance and they do not collect unemployment insurance. When someone is laid off, the employer is obligated to pay a severence package.

The Amazon focus and pivot program is interesting. That definitely looks like they’re bribing low performers to quit, and I smell an ulterior motive. Maybe it’s to get them to sign an NDA but I feel like it’s to avoid wrongful dismissed lawsuits. Although I suppose why not both?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I have to admit I mostly only used it for testing purposes. I worked on a product that integrated with it, and I remember it being frustrating to work with. I forget the details of what frustrated me about it, though.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I thought the juxtaposition of horror game merch in the middle of a section of toddler toys section in a Walmart was pretty funny, but eye of the beholder and all that

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Gross
But considering the current state of Google search, not as gross as it was.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I kind of agree. I’m not a pro but I’ve been using gimp to do little bits of editing (mostly to make slack emojis and memes) for a few years, and I constantly encounter little things that seem like they should be simple and intuitive, but are not.

I haven’t used Photoshop in over a decade, but I feel like I rarely felt the same frustration regarding basic tasks.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Kerrigan? Is that you?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

You really went for your namesake on this one 😅

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Part unicorn, part horse, part human, all sailor moon.

Sailor moonicorn. Moontaur? Moonicaur?
Sailor Moonicaur.
