Every day the room was open

The room held its activity to the end.

Peak was 93 messages on 16 Apr 2024. Colour marks activity: solid is a busy day, grey is a quiet one.

When the room was awake

A 3.6 to 1 swing between the busiest and quietest hour — mostly one region, with a scattering elsewhere.

Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

It never lost more people than it gained

Departures stayed below arrivals every month. What fell away was new arrivals: 12 joined in the first month, 5 in the last.

The last thing anyone said here

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

Hot-Divide-9634Hello designer my degree is incomplete, and have a botchamp certificate, can I hand UX design job with this?
eist5579Degrees and crrificates done matter as much as showing you can solve real problems with case studies. Get some personal projects going with non profits or internships etc to build up some case studies from that work. That will land you a job when you can speak to how you think through problems and deliver designs
Hot-Divide-9634Thanks brother 🙂
Altruistic_Plum8647Hi, I recently got accepted to a HCI masters program at Drexel University. I was wondering how the program is and the career and networking opportunities there.

Jealous-Treacle2894Hey, maybe some need UI/UX designer? Portfolio: https://www.behance.net/68c5eaf6
Adorable-Tax931Hello
jininsideTrying to transition from engineering to design. More Info: I have background in CompSci and have been working as professional UI Developer. 1. I am more inclined towards creativity and design than logic for software development. 2. I want to understand a rough roadmap that I can embark upon to build skills and design thinking to interview with companies in next 6ish months.

Every number above came out of the raw event log automatically, at build time. That's the same engine we're pointing at subreddits that still exist. It isn't open yet.

No confirmation email — we'll write once, when it opens, and not before. Looking for your own messages instead?
