hey Aliena
hey Ben
how's it going?
great
sorry I'm a bit late
no worries
it happens
uh actually i have another meeting in 15 minutes
so
can we make this short
i mean yes sure
do you want to share your screen and show me the front end progress
yeah sure
I think Elizabeth is pushing pretty hard these days
so let's try our best to make this work
the front end is almost ready
so
what do you think
okay
this is your first time doing front-end work, right?
i mean
i'm a software engineer
not a front-end software engineer
first of all
i think you need to increase the page margin
i mean everything's on the figma file i sent you
so you can always refer back to that
i did exactly what you've sent me in the figma file
okay then please just change what i just said
fine, i'll take a note
uh add a margin
what else
the title should be centered not aligned to the left
the title should be centered
what else
use the colors and fonts specified on the figma file
sure i'll do that for today
and is it possible for you to send me an
update by the end of the day so that i can show something to Elizabeth
I'll try
by the way
do you know James broke up with Elizabeth?
James broke up with Elizabeth?
yeah crazy eh?
but they co-founded the company
and now they're breaking up
but still writing the same startup?
I don't know man
honestly i don't see where this is going
I got an offer from google
so i might be leaving any day
oh
i got another meeting
sorry
gotta go
see you
okay
congrats?
hey Elizabeth how's it going?
We need to redesign the entire thing
sorry what?
we need to redesign the entire thing
yeah yeah I hear that
but why and what happened?
listen
never trust your boyfriend
i see where this is going
James stole the idea from me
grabbed all the files
and ran away to start another company with his bros
oh no
and he's doing exactly what i'm doing
oh shoot
anyways
i want to win this game
and right now the best way to do it
is to distinguish our brand with his brand
and he's not even going to change the design
oh you think he will?
I know him
he loves his idea
and he believes that everyone deeply actually hates consumerism
and wants to become a minimalist
and he doesn't even believe in investors
you know what
I think his brand will have no profit whatsoever
and i want my brand to be profitable
I want it to tackle a niche market so that it can survive the initial phase
and i want to build a thing that's so big to prove how wrong he is
okay so uh
what should i do?
i'm thinking about focusing only on dresses
get rid of all the other products
we only tackle dresses
you know how girls buy so many dresses but only wear them once?
let's build an app that can help girls to rent and lend and sell and buy dresses
just dresses
also add AI
because investors love it
and make it NFT
I don't care
just show it somewhere in the interface
because investors love it
oh and change that boring white thing to something crazy like yellow purple pink
i don't care
you decide
actually let's make it pink
because female market
people love it
so we are changing the brand guide and the design system?
basically everything
and just send me the design by Friday
uh okay
let's double check what has to be done
I'm taking notes
just exactly what i said before
I got another meeting sorry
and what about the pages you asked me to design yesterday?
because i just finished those
oh sorry
those won't be used anymore
you know
start up
things moves pretty fast
okay i gotta go
good luck
