I am a marketer in love with tech and building communities around products. My passion is understanding how things work, what people think, and how organizations function.
Chatting about your product :)
Once upon a time, I was asked to do the worst "test" ever... I was supposed to write a story about the founding of the company I was applying to. Plot twist - the founders were supposed to be described as superheroes. I guess they wanted to test my creativity or sth. I found it to be utterly aimless - a test for the sake of testing, so I refused. They were very surprised. Another one was - How come you want to work in marketing but don't want to do Google Ads? I nicely explained that I was into content creation and curation, my personal goals as well as beliefs that Google Ads don't perform well in certain areas, yadda yadda, but they were utterly unpleasant towards me after my comments. Basically, my potential manager was trying to show how their knowledge of marketing was superior to mine. Also, this signaled that they couldn't accept the opinions of other people. Guess what, they were spending loads of money on ads, with little success 🤣Also, I realized that the position would put me in a role I just didn't want. So I just called the whole thing off.
Great question Todd ! I use Redragon Manyu k579 RGB keyboard and Cooler Master Mastermouse S . Keyboard I've chosen this one because I wanted a spill-proof mechanical keyboard that was not too pricey (under 100$ on Amazon as far as I know). Sound I'm absolutely in love with the clicky sound it produces, but to be very honest, it's one of those loud keyboards I would mind if I were working in an office. (Remote work ftw 🚀) The caps can be compared to CherryMX blues, but some cheaper Chinese version of it. Speed I haven't done specific tests but can confirm that I've been making wayy fewer typos on it when compared to my previous one. Backlight It's as shiny as it looks. I do prefer shiny things so... 😎 Ergonomics I'm not a professional commenter in this field, but I can say that even though I type a lot at work, I haven't had any "strain" moments. I do have tiny hands, so those ones with palm rest actually make my typing experience worse. Build quality This is one of those gaming keyboards that can take quite a lot of beating and is very heavy. After ~1 year of use, you can see that some of the caps got a bit shiny, but ... I think that's fairly normal. Mouse I got it as a parting gift from my previous coworkers. It's on the small side, which works great with my small hands 😁 Gaming mouses tend to be a bit on the big side for me, but this one is 👌 The one thing I did is to open it up and remove the weight they've added for ... some reason. I know that this move made it lighter and easier to move around. https://twitter.com/m_maksimovic_/status/1033285662215233536
