THE GOOD

Don’t Fret Over the Take-Home Assignment

Whether you love them or hate them, take-home challenges have become a part of the hiring process. 

• How I approached the task

• What I included

• My process

• The results

Check out my full video walk-through of how I built this out. And how that led to a full time job offer.

THE FAD

Can You Use AI to Use AI to Create Images?

Short answer: Yes

Real answer: It depends

I experimented using Adobe Firefly to create images for a presentation, and had some pretty good results.

But for other things? Mehhhhhhh AI can be pretty shit.

You can watch the whole thing unfold in a recent YouTube video.

THE UGLY

What Would It Be Like Without Web Form Requirements?

Forms. No one loves filling them in.

But companies need them to gather information digitally from users.

When creating a form, are you doing it wrong?

Here’s the thing, for every required field you include in your form, you are going to lose people.

Make sure you are following form best UX practices as laid out by this recent article by Jakob Nielsen.

Open the next issue of BlatzChatz to see this week’s results.
