#but this implementation in fields they don’t need to be in is why everything is getting worse

[rosemarygin]

Back when the big thing was saying “oh well if it was smart it could go these calculations, this basic math, but it can’t” the creators iirc spent a ridiculous amount of resources (think water electricity etc and money) to “train” it to do the calculation examples people used first.

Instead of adding a calculator tool. Which already exists. Which other programs and previous iterations of chat bots before would, you know, make a call to to get an answer instead of spitting out drivel.

People are so enamored by the written equivalent of an animatronic doing its best to seem human that they’re foregoing cheaper, cleaner, more sensible options. This is what happened to the tts phone trees everyone hates and yells at to “speak to a representative” because they’re useless in the end, but companies love the idea of a not-person they can play with and make users interact with. The appeal to make artificial intelligence is so great they’ve slapped the name on something that isn’t that at all, and are just. Grifting instead.

One of the common mistakes I see for people relying on "AI" (LLMs and image generators) is that they think the AI they're interacting with is capable of thought and reason. It's not. This is why using AI to write essays or answer questions is a really bad idea because it's not doing so in any meaningful or thoughtful way. All it's doing is producing the statistically most likely expected output to the input.

This is why you can ask ChatGPT "is mayonnaise a palindrome?" and it will respond "No it's not." but then you ask "Are you sure? I think it is" and it will respond "Actually it is! Mayonnaise is spelled the same backward as it is forward"

All it's doing is trying to sound like it's providing a correct answer. It doesn't actually know what a palindrome is even if it has a function capable of checking for palindromes (it doesn't). It's not "Artificial Intelligence" by any meaning of the term, it's just called AI because that's a discipline of programming. It doesn't inherently mean it has intelligence.

So if you use an AI and expect it to make something that's been made with careful thought or consideration, you're gonna get fucked over. It's not even a quality issue. It just can't consistently produce things of value because there's no understanding there. It doesn't "know" because it can't "know".

HEYY !!! Spiritual girly. I’m talking to earthy aesthetic girls. The one that smells like coco butter and vanilla walking around in a long skirt, crop top and too many jewels. When it comes to you, the cauldron told me about an opportunity that finally touches your hand. When I dive deeper into the message, I’m sensing something that took a lot of hard work and a lot of faith. For a long time it was just an idea in your mind for which you fought for it to materialize into the 3D. Congratulations babes ! A lot of obstacles came in the way but you stay resilient. That also was not easy since your faith was often tested in the meantime. I’m getting a new opportunity, a new career field opening, and the start of a new hobby/business. You finally have the time and funds to dive deep into a project. I’m hearing: ‘’I’ll be dammed if I let you fuck me up’’. At the moment, you feel a bit overwhelmed. Now that the gift is sitting on your porch, you don’t actually know how to approach it. What do you want VS what you need ? Your desires or your needs, first ? One is all about the action while the other path is all about trusting the process called ‘’life’’. A lot of people all of the sudden seem very worried about your actions. Acting like the decision you are making has a huge impact on their destiny. If I may, girl f them. If they paid attention earlier, they would have noticed you were not happy with your life . Now all of the sudden they care so much about what's happening to you. Like…Let’s be frl. You have to stand up for yourself. Whatever decision you make regarding that situation, you will NEED to voice it. Is insomnia keeping you up at night ? Well let’s start to implement some meditation before sleep. So you can be less in your head. Try to be more practical with your way of living. Rn I feel like you always looked like a baddie but it’s only recently that you actually felt like one.  Advice: Don’t slow down. Is easy now since you finally receive what you pray for, to relax and enjoy but it is only the beginning. Don’t try to accommodate or to one. Put yourself FIRST. 

Love 

The ex of your dude ( the fact that i did not choose a lover, sneaky link or even crush. Girl why are still holding on for. LOL. ) Is trying to get him back. And you really don’t give a damn. I feel like you don’t even want him. But he is stuck on you like glue. I think the thing that completely broke the bond between y'all is that he doesn't want you to be better. Like you announce him the good news and he knew you really wanted it. Now he wants you to let it go. BOY BYE ! BYEEEE! You don’t even hate him, you feel disgusted that he even thought his opinion mattered that much. Plus he keeps mentioning you change. Babe you did ! Don’t let him bully out of your shit. Now you are more sexually confident with yourself and bold with your boundaries. Him: You were more submissive back than. You: Now I have shit I care for. Advice: STAND ON BUSINESS. If he is block let him stay there. Yes, he is the unknown number that is trying to reach you.

Heyy… pile 2, you are my TW pile. Before you get deeper in the reading just know it is completely fine for you to take another one especially if you are not ready to talk about it. To beginning , when I was channeling, I first sang a very happy song. Then a faint voice called for help. At that exact moment the card fell out. First let go of the struggle especially if you try everything and nothing is working. Take a moment to breathe. Is time to surrender to life and believe that it will actually bring you to a better place. Let go of the victim and become the warrior you needed from others. Start your healing journey, go to therapy, take your pills, do some journaling. I know when you are reading you probably smirk. I’m speaking with experience, babies. Is not going to change overnight. But as I am channeling, I'm picturing you in a very messy room with molding left over surrounding you.  I keep hearing ‘’ I was NEVER like this before’’. I know babies, I know how such experience can change you. You are FUCKING powerful. I’m not saying this because of trauma, that’s what I channel. You were always standing on your power and someone tried to knock you off your throne. One small change at a time, like cleaning your room once a week. Drinking one water bottle a day. Eating at least 3 times a day even if it is a snack is going to get you going. Right now, you must be feeling fucked up. Like he hurt you. He took away your spark,  why should you try to get it back. When such an event happens in people's life, it is re-birth. Is time to re-learn to live again. Choose your pace and take it day by day. Nobody truly heals from it, I can assure you that. But you can learn to live a thriving life despite it. Instead of going on the hunt for the old version of you, learn about this new you. Pay attention to your dreams, there is a message in them. Reflect on your inner voice. Don’ t allow others to dictate how you are supposed to heal even if what you feel right now is numbness. Stick to your guns since you are the only one that knows you best at the moment. A good opportunity or news is going to present itself in divine timing. You will be sitting in the right place and right moment. One of your wishes will come true. Something worth living will come out of this situation. There’s good luck heading your way. All wisdom gain from this journey would be very helpful to the community if you ever decide to share it one day. 

LOVE 

You are with someone that your friends and family don’t approve of. And the icing on the cake , you don’t like them either. You don’t want to be alone and you are too ‘’broken’’ for a healthy relationship so you are distracting yourself with that. Let me be the bearer of bad (good) news, this relationship will end. Your distraction will leave and reality will hit. One thing I see, they will play games in front of your face. They will even threaten to kill themself, just to keep you sucked in. Text them number phone for help online and move on. Don’t engage more than that. What is more fuck up, is that they keep you close just have sex with you.

Hey…beyhives. I feel like, I’m only speaking to Beyonce stan at the moment. You guys are still bumping the country album of Queen B, like it came out yesterday. You guys are weirdly connected to my spiritual team because it feels like I was meant to read for you. Let’s get into it. People don’t realize how kinky you are, they know you are freaky. But nah… y’all are KINKY. You are a person that is aware of your sexual power and don't mind using it to your advantage. Your manners , your body, your sensuality, attract and please other people. You know what button to push. You are a very experienced  and sensual lover. Not shy at all, actually very confident. 

LOVE 

I feel like you are looking for a confirmation. Let me be. Your relationship has run it’s time. I don't even think y’all ever loved him. But he was the only one that allow you dual nature. I’m getting from the outside y’all are super cute, but in the bed a pure beast. You guy LOVE sex. You are scared that you are never going to find someone that will get you stamina without judging you by calling your names, especially if you identify as women. He cheated. Which made you extremely possessive and jealous. So you use sex to control him. I’m hearing: How DARE you think you can find better than me ! Advice : Start something new take a break from your love life and slowdown on sex for a minute. Usually if you have more sexual energy than usual it is because your body's calling you to create. Think about it: to create life we need to get nasty in the bedroom. Imma need you to get nasty in your career. Find something that is passionate about you  and go hard (ahahaha). Look at the bigger picture, you are way to focus on him. Feel the fear and do it anyway. You are fearful of rejection. That’s why you allow this man to take the best out of you. Find a new source of inspiration and shake off the blues. Right now contrary to what you might think, you are not sitting in your divine feminine energy. Since you are in such war mode, it is almost completely masculine. Plus, he doesn't care for you at ALL. But he does know that they will never be another woman like you.

Charles Leclerc showed an impressive rookie year in 2019. The Ferrari junior lived up to his early praise in the Sauber. Before the season finale in Abu Dhabi, he is just two points behind Romain Grosjean in Haas with 33 points. Enough to oust Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari in 2019. The young Monegasque and the Iceman swap cockpits. Questions about Ferrari’s future and about his future teammate Sebastian Vettel were not allowed in the interview. Motorsport-Magazin.com and Leclerc still had plenty to talk about.

If you do well, this will be our last interview. So you’re under pressure! Charles Leclerc: Why?

Because Ferrari drivers usually don’t have to speak 1:1 to writing media from Germany. Charles Leclerc: Oh, okay.

I don’t know if you remember our first interview. Last year in Abu Dhabi when you were driving F2. Charles Leclerc: Wasn’t that earlier? After an FP1 outing with Haas maybe?

You seem to have a good memory. I didn’t count the media rounds, just the interviews. Charles Leclerc: Then it’s true!

In Abu Dhabi it wasn’t quite sure whether you would drive for Sauber in 2018. The only thing that was certain was that you wouldn’t have a chance to drive victories in your rookie year in Formula 1. Back then you said it would be the same as with Alonso with Minardi. Do you think you’ve achieved something similar to what Alonso did this season? Charles Leclerc: Puuuuh… I’m honestly really bad at history [laughs].I can’t really remember what people thought of him back then. But I’m happy with my season. I don’t want to compare it to anyone else’s season. It would strike me as rather arrogant to say that it was similar to Alonso’s. But yes, I’m satisfied and I can definitely say: I never expected that we would be so strong and that the progress over the year would be so big.

Without comparing yourself to anyone else in the field, do you feel that you and the team have achieved something extraordinary this season? Charles Leclerc: I think it was a special season. If we look at where the team has been over the last year and where we are now - it sure impressed some people in the paddock. Formula 1 is a tough sport and the level of competition is very high. All teams work at a very high level. To see the progress we’ve made over the season is impressive.

We have a driver ranking, one by the users and one by us. You’re currently in fifth place… Charles Leclerc: Who are the four in front of me?

Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen and Raikkonen. Charles Leclerc: Yes, I saw it. I check a lot of media [laughs].

You secured your place in the last few races in particular. At the beginning of the season things weren’t going so well.��What was the issue? Charles Leclerc: I didn’t have much experience, I didn’t do much testing. So I had to learn everything during the race weekends. It was not easy. For me that is clearly the reason for the problems at the beginning of the season. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted from the car and gave the engineers the wrong direction. That was bad, but together with the engineers we finally found the right way. As soon as we implemented that in the car in Baku, we made a big step forward.

It seems to be a pattern in your career. You were anything but confident at last year’s Formula 2 tests, and at the start of this Formula 1 season too. Need some time to get started, but then you really get going? Charles Leclerc: I think one of my real strengths is understanding what the problems are and then improving them, whether it takes time or not. Of course, at the beginning of the season I had the three bad races, that felt like a lot. But then, looking back, three races doesn’t feel like much for a car that’s so different. So I don’t really know. You can probably judge it better from the outside. From the outside it’s clearer if it’s fast or too slow. But in the end I’m happy with my season.

What was the biggest difference for you compared to all the junior series? Charles Leclerc: Definitely the power and the downforce, that’s very different. It’s like a jump from two, three junior categories. Quite large. Then all the systems in Formula 1 that you can control via the steering wheel. In the smaller categories you can change these systems, but after a session. You come back to the pits and talk to the engineers. In Formula 1 you have to do everything yourself, corner by corner.

Did you know that your teammate Marcus Ericsson is a career killer? Kobayashi, Nasr, Wehrlein… Charles Leclerc: [grins] I saw that a few times in the media too. Every teammate of Marcus… yes, but I don’t believe stories like that.

So you weren’t afraid you only got one chance? Charles Leclerc: Oh no, never. Never.

Because you’re so confident? Every racer somehow thinks of himself as the fastest, right? Charles Leclerc: I wouldn’t say that. At least not in my case.I never thought about ranking the drivers and determining who is the fastest. I honestly believe that anyone can be the best driver in the field. For me, the one who has understood best how to maximize his potential is the best. That’s the most important thing for me. Sure, some riders have more talent, but in the end someone who works hard can get there.

I think it’s more about understanding how to reach your own limit. This is particularly important. So ranking is very difficult. I think you can do it for a season, but ranking a rider as a whole is very difficult. Every driver can be as good as anyone else if he finds his limit. The only thing that counts is how long you ride at this level. So I don’t really focus on the others. I just focus on myself and try to get the maximum potential out of myself.

How much of your potential have you already shown? Charles Leclerc: There is definitely a lot more to do. There is always more that you can use. But for the first season, apart from the first three races, I’m pretty happy.

What was the key for you this season? Charles Leclerc: [thinking] Probably managing a whole weekend, with FP1, FP2, FP3, qualifying, Q1, Q2, Q3, and then the race. This is very different compared to what you are used to from the other categories. It’s a weekend that builds up very slowly and it’s very important to work your way through all these sessions to be at the top at exactly the right time - in qualifying.

Is there a single scene that you remember in particular? A real key moment? Charles Leclerc: Probably the call from Maurizio that I will be driving a Ferrari next year. That’s something I’ll always remember.

And on the route? Charles Leclerc: Hard to say. But in any case, the duels with Fernando taught me a lot about racing.

As a driver, you learned a lot in 2018. Would you say that you have also learned a lot as a person? You seem to have a decent standing in Formula 1 for a rookie, for example when you heavily criticized Kevin Magnussen. Charles Leclerc: Maybe it’s the image I’m giving. But the most important thing I think is that I’m honest with myself. With what I think I prefer being like this to saying things in front of the media when I’m actually thinking something else. I’m not really like that. I just say what I think. It comes across as a bit direct to the media at times, but that’s my personality .I prefer to be like this.

That’s good for us! Charles Leclerc: [laughs]

Is there any weakness that you still see in yourself? Charles Leclerc: Of course. You always have weaknesses. To name one … what do I take … clearly experience, I’m still missing something, but I wouldn’t call that a weakness. But just overall as a flaw. Every time I have a problem I focus on it to get better. There is always something you can get better at.

We thought about it in the editorial office. The only obvious mistakes we remembered were spins in the rain. So you’re not a rain god yet? Charles Leclerc: [laughs] No, I think riding in the rain is my forte, which sounds strange. Just not yet in Formula 1. But I’m working very hard on it. It’s a very different feeling with the power steering compared to Formula 2 and GP3. There, or rather in all junior categories, the steering wheel is directly connected to the wheels, there is no power steering, so you feel everything. It’s different in Formula 1 and different teams also use different power steering. It really depends on the team. To be honest, in the rain I don’t have full confidence in the power steering that we have here. That’s why I had most of the problems - and I definitely had problems. But in all other series I was always strong in the rain. I just have to keep working and find that feeling in Formula 1 again. A few more kilometers and I’m sure I’ll find it again.

Stem's Thoughts on Harvest Moon GBC3

Harvest Moon GB1 has a mechanic called “Harvest Sprite Help” which lets NPCs take over the work on your farm for you. I criticized it heavily for the way that it took control away from the player by encouraging a style of gameplay where you turn the help setting on and then leave your game for real life hours at a time to effectively play itself. What if there was a way you could have someone else work your farm while you can still have fun playing the game though? How could you make this mechanic work?

Generally my rule when I play a new one of these games is that I have to go in without knowing anything about it, or at least as little as possible, since I've absorbed some knowledge for the older games via cultural osmosis. I don't fully know why I broke that rule for this game, but I'm grateful that I did because everything you do here hinges off of one choice you make the instant you start your new file: will you play as a boy or a girl?

Gender selection in this game is not just an aesthetic or story choice, but a mechanical one, too. Each character is given access to different tools and is expected to do a different type of work on the farm– the boy has all the basic crop-farming implements, and the girl has all the tools for animal care, plus a few farming tools that lack the ability to be upgraded. This makes it pretty hard to do the work of the other gender from what you selected, but that’s not an issue because you aren’t meant to be doing that work anyways, they are. Whichever character you don’t choose will live on the farm to work with you.

Before you start your day, you’ll need to talk to your partner and tell them what you would like them to focus on. It’s not too complicated with the girl because you can just ask her to do general things like get milk and eggs from the animals or pet all of them, but when delegating work for the boy, it’s as complex as telling him what to do on every 9x9 section of the crop field. This isn't the first game to have work delegation, you could argue Harvest Sprite Help was the same thing, and Back to Nature had you asking Sprites to assist you as well, but this is definitely the most thought out version.

The story

The premise of the story is that the boy character and the girl character are coming together to save an old farm like usual. The difference here is each character's relationship to the farm. 

While HM64 was a sequel to SNES in that all the characters were the descendants of the original cast, this game is a sequel to GBC2 in a more literal sense. The boy character is literally the farmer who saved the farm in GBC2, called over to do the job again. He even makes references to characters from that game as if they're his old friends. It feels a little awkward narratively, since he saved that old farm from becoming new development just to abandon it again, like what benefit does that bring to anyone? Who knows. It doesn't matter here.

The girl on the other hand actually has a relationship to this farm. When you choose to play as her, the game opens with cutscenes showing her as a small child watching her father work the fields. In the current day of the game, her father has died and we enter on a scene of her arguing with the mayor that she can take the farm over, but to no avail. What wins him over is that someone else brings in the boy and proclaims he can save it instead. This is accepted without question, but at least he’ll let you live with him in your own house and pick up some of the slack. This game has somehow figured out how to turn sexism into a mechanic as well.

The girl is only expected to care for the animals, a very simple task compared to the hard labor of working in the fields. There is also only one way to get married in this game, and that is to marry your partner on the farm. If you’re playing as the girl and decide to get married, your game ends. Playing as the boy, you can keep going and even have children, but marriage for a woman is game over.

All that said, my choice was actually to play as the girl, and I think it was the superior option, at least in terms of having a good gameplay flow. You may only be supposed to care for the animals, but you still have all the tools you need to grow crops, they just aren’t the best. At the beginning of the game, your partner usually isn’t very good at their job. For me, this manifested in the boy doing effectively nothing. The game started with me doing every last bit of work on the farm– planning the field, buying seeds, weeding and clearing the field, plowing, planting, watering, caring for the one cow you start with… It was basically just the same as every other farming sim. The difference is that by the time I was sick of that grind, the boy was competent enough with his work that I could just tell him what to do and go about my business. 

A management sim

It took a minute for the management part of the game to kick in, but once it did, it ran like butter. Sure, I would have had better tools to work with had I picked the boy, so it wouldn’t be so labor intensive once I got to that point in the game playing as him either, but I still much preferred assigning him the work rather than actually going and picking every single crop. It feels a lot nicer to go out and buy the seeds while I know he’s harvesting the grown crops so I can tell him to plant them himself the next day. It also meant that for the first time, I was giving almost my full attention to the animals. They don’t have any more nuance to them compared to the usual, but I did feel inclined to keep more of them and actually try to care for them the way you’re told to. On top of all that, the boy has nothing to do in winter because there aren’t any crops that season, so at least the girl has year-round work.

I really think that to play as the boy and have to take care of all the crops actually would make the management part of the game a little overwhelming, because there’s a lot more to it than just delegating work. Your farm is located on a small island off the coast of a city, and because of that, the only way to get to any shops to buy things for work is by taking a boat to the mainland. This wouldn’t be so much of an issue if it weren’t for the boat only running two days of the week, assuming good weather. This means if you’ve got five days left in the season and you want to buy a crop that’ll grow up in four, if it’s raining on the last day you can go to the island, you’re straight out of luck. If you make good enough friends with some people in the island village, one of them can let you use his old fishing boat which lets you access the mainland whenever you want, but you’re unlikely to get that until you’re a year or so into the game. This limit makes the start of the game really complicated– in a fun way.

Shipping your produce isn’t limited by boat availability, thankfully, since your produce can rot in the storage shed. The shed is where you can hold up to 99 of every type of produce for about a week until it starts to go bad. No one automatically comes to pick up your goods like in other games. Instead, there’s a phone in your house that you can only use to call into the farmer’s union and tell them that you want to ship something. This works for one item type at a time though, so you’ll have to make a whole lot of calls if you have a lot of different things to sell. I tended to try and leave things to sit as long as I could just to make fewer phone calls. It also only works while the union is in business hours, but this is a problem I ran into more often very late in the game when I ran out of work to do early in the mornings before the union even opened.

The goal

Speaking of work, the goal you’re aiming towards isn’t something that you know straight from the beginning. In fact, for a short while playing the game, I was under the impression that there was no “goal” or real endpoint at all, because it seemed to be the case that the farm wasn’t in jeopardy at all with the two of us in charge of it. It turns out my feeling was true, because this is one of the few early games where there is no failure state. There is a winning state which is presented to you once you’ve gotten a little bit better of a relationship with your partner. You need to have three of each of the four types of animals (you have room to keep eight of each type), and you need to ship 300 crops. By the time this was brought up to me in the first summer of the game, I’d already shipped well over that many crops and had the requisite number of chickens. 

The more challenging part of the goal is definitely the animals, as they all cost money which can be a pretty limiting factor, especially early-game, but I should also note that when I’d already destroyed the crop goal, that was without any help from my partner, because he still completely sucked at gardening at that point. The game is made pretty easy to play though the task management system, but it’s also made a lot easier thanks to the way its menu works. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Harvest Moon game use a Pokemon-style menu with a dozen different options that let you check everything from your tools, to your inventory, to the individual statuses of all of your animals. Actually, this might be the first Harvest Moon to actually let you know how well your animals are doing in detail, which is really handy. The menu also lets you choose between tools on the fly without having to go back to your house for a toolbox, which makes working the field way faster than other games, at the cost of having to constantly go in and out of menus because there’s no quick-swapping function. The inventory is also the biggest it's ever been from the beginning at nine slots, including whatever you’re holding in your hands, so you’re able to carry a full seed bag’s worth of harvest back to storage at once. All of this mixed with the fact that you aren’t time-limited to make sure everything is shipped before 5PM means you’re free to work both more efficiently and more calmly to get way more work done than in previous games. The only risk is that the storage shed only holds 99 of each item, so you can lose a lot of harvest if you don’t pay attention.

The rest of the game

Other than that, there really isn’t that much else in the game. This is the first entry to have no character portraits for anyone, so even if there are other NPCs that you can build some small relationships with, it’s very hard to connect. The game exists on a tiny island with a small village of about six people you’re able to talk to every day, and you’re able to boat over to the mainland where you can talk to people and shopkeepers in the mall, but the relationships are pretty limited to only a few events for people in the village and a quest each that can be given to you by the shopkeepers. Don’t get me wrong, there is some story you can run into with a couple ongoing narrative threads, the biggest being something to do with a mysterious mermaid who you correspond with through messages in bottles found on the beach, but for how big the world is, I personally expected a fair amount more than there was.

The island that you live on has five different zones that you can visit via map selection: your farm, the village, a cliff where you can see the mainland from, a mountain path, and a labyrinthine forest. The cliff really only comes into play for a fireworks-watching event with one of the villagers, the mountain exists mostly as the only place where you can find forage to sell or gift, and the forest hides a good lake for fishing but also comes into play for one late-game event, if you manage to run into it (I couldn’t get it to trigger). The mainland works the same with its five shopping areas: the port with a weekly farmer’s market, the Farmer’s Union, the shopping mall, the movie theater, and the aquarium. Each of these areas has a good deal more going on than the island, though.

The port is obviously where you go to take the boat back to the island, but off to the right there’s an entrance to a farmer’s market area that’s only available to enter on specific days– notably, days when the ferry doesn’t run, so this isn’t something you can experience until you’ve gotten your own boat. It doesn’t work how you’d expect. The idea is that you’ll be standing at a stall with everything in your inventory on offer and people will come up looking for something very specific. If they don’t find that one thing, they’ll be disappointed and leave. Their requests aren’t locked to any season either, so someone can ask for corn in the winter, and you’ll just be out of luck.

The Farmer’s Union sells and buys animals, sells farming tools and specific seeds, and can give you part-time work which usually is a specific request to ship a certain number of a given item. It also has a bank to store excess money, which is easy to have in this game. Anything that you can’t find at the Union you can find at the mall, which sells seeds for vegetables and flowers, food, special tools, and books which teach you special tricks. The books are mostly there to teach your partner new ways to do things. For instance, I could buy a book that taught my boy to plow in a U-shape, but by the time I had the kind of money I could throw around at things as frivolous as books, he was already competent enough to handle a field full of 3x3 squares without issue.

The theater is just a place where you can watch short movies, but the aquarium actually gives you something else to do. It’s empty, much like the aquariums of the Animal Crossing series, so the owner requests that you go to all the different areas you can find and catch a variety of fish that he can populate his tanks with. This quest was a life saver to me when I completed all the goals given to me well before it was time for the game to end. There’s the river on your farm, the lake in the woods, the beaches, and the open ocean to fish in with a decent variety of fish to catch. It’s tedious and random, but the fishing mechanic is the usual timed-press type, so it wasn’t too hard, and once you’ve filled up the tanks, you can see whatever fish you caught swimming around in them which felt very rewarding!

Criticisms

If I had to criticize this game, I would say that it’s a little bit too easy and it doesn’t have enough going on narrative-wise. This is a pretty light criticism though, because at the very least, because of how easy it is, it never overstayed its welcome. This is probably the fastest I’ve ever managed to beat a Harvest Moon game and that’s definitely because it does half the work for you through the management aspects. Given my complaints about GB1’s help mechanic, it’s easy to assume that this would be a massive downside to this game, but I think the reason why it works here is because it never takes the control away from the player. It never encourages you to put the game down and let it play itself. Instead, I’m still an active participant who’s in control of everything going on on my farm. That feels good to me!

Between the management aspects and all the new things the game is playing with like the irrigation and scarecrows and new crops, I feel like this game was actually interested in doing something new and different with what farming mechanics are and always has been.

For lack of better way to get to everything in a succinct manner, here’s a list of things that show up which, as far as I'm currently aware, never return in mainline Harvest Moon: 

Pet selection that includes falcons and pigs (or either being things you can have on your farm at all)

Digging out irrigation

Sprinklers (that use this irrigation)

Scarecrows

Produce rot

Fertilizer (that’s made from the rotted produce)

Boating

A bank to store excess funds

Buying books to teach you new skills

Snowboarding minigame

Male animals and animal breeding that requires having one of each gender

Fish collection on the level of the Animal Crossing museum

Multi-seasonal crops (wheat, rice)

Things that are new here that I know come back: 

Horse breeding

Farmers market

No shipping bin (manual selling)

Part-time work

Saving the game anywhere you want

With all these crazy mechanics, this is the type of game where you need a manual that comes with it to tell you what to do. Fortunately for me since there was no chance I'd get one, this is the first game I've seen with a dedicated fansite detailed enough that I think it actually covers every single aspect of the game accurately, and that's obviously because the mechanics actually have something going on for once. If you’re curious about what all of this is, I highly recommend either playing the game or at least checking out the site to see what’s up with them.

I am infinitely charmed by the sheer quantity of weird stuff this game tries out. Truthfully, it makes me a little sad that none of it seems like it ever went anywhere based on the state of modern farming sims, not just because I wish more games would reconsider what farming mechanics could be, but also because some of this stuff is really cool and fun to consider!

I think the path of progression through this game is fascinating, and could work magnificently if it was just tuned a little bit better. The beginning of the game is incredibly hard between the lack of energy, incompetent partner, mess of a field, and hard time limit on when you’re able to get seeds to earn some money with, and I think that early game struggle is truly the most fun part of farming sims. The number of barriers keeps you in that state of constant fighting a little bit longer, but I do feel like as soon as you get a little bit of leeway, everything cascades into becoming infinitely easier. The point where you finally have a perfectly clear field, a partner who can actually do some work, and a boat to get to the mainland on your own can hit all at once, and once you’re there, the challenge is all gone. I don’t think that this point shouldn’t exist, because it’s part of what makes this kind of game satisfying in the end, but I think it could have been reworked to keep some of the challenge a little longer. At the bare minimum, they could have added some expensive items to buy at the end of the game that aren’t just stuff that generates more money like cheese makers and such, because I have no reason to try making more money when I already hardly have anything to spend it on.

Conclusion

In the end, I just think this game is neat. I don’t think it’s the best game out there, it’s certainly lacking most things I look for in farming sims (narrative), but it’s still a lot of fun to play, and even if you don’t like it very much, it’s over in a flash. If you’re the type of person who wants to make a farming sim of your own or someone who’s just interested in weird farming mechanics, I seriously insist that you should check this game out because it tries so many different things. It’s a fantastic thing to study if nothing else.

[villainkinconfessions]

I get it. I get why I bottled it up. Why I locked it up even to myself, pushed it down until nobody could ever seen it, not even me. The black psyche-locks. I get it. It was so much easier to do that than confront it. When you’re filled with anger and “it should have been mes” spanning years and years and YEARS, an entire lifetime, even, it’s so much easier to just push it down and focus. Read books. Understand all of the ins and outs of the field that allows you to be what you needed to be in the first place. Envy makes sense to have if they’re not deserving of what they have to begin with. Perfection is simple. Polishing perfection under layers and layers of gloss is simple. It’s beautiful. I was beautiful, and now I’m here again, in another life, nowhere near what I was before Wright came back and played his role in implementing the damn jurist system, in no way able to put that gloss back on. In a near-identical situation, and I don’t have the past that I had to hold myself up with a smile. I’m gripping onto tables and glaring into mirrors and visibly angry and the sting hurts to its core because I can’t mask it this time around. Damn it, it should be me. not them. I worked so much harder and they’re pulling everything out of their asses. I don’t have the gloss, I don’t have the polish this time around. I’m just some guy, and I’m not supposed to be just some guy. I need to be at the top again.

Design Handoff: How to Work Smoothly With Developers

Web design is only half the battle. The handoff? That’s the real test. Designers often pour soul and sweat into pixel-perfect layouts, only to watch the final product fall short in development. Why, because design handoff is where harmony either thrives or dies.

This critical transition from design to code needs more than an email with an attachment. It requires strategy, clarity, and communication. Think of it like passing the baton in a relay. A flawless pass keeps the race alive. A sloppy one? Disaster.

So, let’s dive in and learn how to ensure efficient design handoff for your web design in Melbourne.

Table of Contents

What Is a Design Handoff?

Design handoff refers to the point where the creative torch is passed from the designer to the developer. It involves sharing all visual assets, documentation, specifications, and design intent with the person responsible for building the actual website or app.

This moment marks the shift from idea to implementation, and it often determines how accurately the final product matches the original vision.

Why Design Handoff Matters

A poor handoff causes friction. Designs break. Features don’t behave. Deadlines slip. Tensions rise.

But when done right, developers understand the vision. They build faster, cleaner., and more accurately. The experience becomes seamless for the team and the users.

Start With Collaboration, Not a File Transfer

Don’t vanish after the design is complete. Involve developers early. Sit together in the same (real or virtual) room. Discuss the goals. Understand constraints. Ask questions and be curious.

Designers and developers are not rivals. They are allies. One paints the picture. The other brings it to life. Communication bridges the gap between intention and execution.

Use the Right Tools for the Job

Clunky PDFs and disorganised folders belong in the past. Use tools that make the handoff intuitive and interactive.

– Figma: Offers real-time collaboration. Inspect tools for developers. Easy export of assets.

– Zeplin: Bridges design and development. It allows commenting, measurements, and code snippets.

– Adobe XD: Includes developer handoff features like specifications and styles.

Choose a tool that speaks the language of both worlds—design and code. It should reduce ambiguity, not add to it.

Be Ruthlessly Organised

Chaos kills momentum. Deliver design files that are squeaky clean.

– Name every layer clearly.

– Group components logically.

– Label buttons, icons, images, and text fields.

– Remove unused elements and clutter.

Treat your design file like a workspace someone else needs to enter. Clean desks inspire productivity, so do tidy design files.

Provide a Style Guide or Design System

Consistency is key. A developer shouldn’t have to guess what shade of blue to use or which button hover style applies. Create a style guide that includes:

– Fonts and sizes

– Colors and their hex/RGB codes

– Button states (normal, hover, active)

– Spacing and padding values

– Grid structure

Better yet, build a full design system. Developers will thank you.

Include Functional Annotations

Designs often speak in visuals. But visuals don’t speak for everything. So, explain interactions and describe behaviour. Does this card expand? Does this button animate? Should this menu slide or fade?

Add notes directly within the design tool. Point to the element. Explain its function. Developers aren’t mind-readers.

Define Responsive Behaviour

A desktop layout doesn’t automatically translate to mobile. Spell it out. Show how the design adapts to smaller screens.

Indicate breakpoints.

Provide mobile mockups.

Clarify what collapses, what hides, and what reflows.

Responsiveness is not an afterthought. It’s a requirement. Communicate it.

Clarify the Flow, Not Just the Frames

Individual screens are snapshots. Developers need the movie.

Map out the user journey. Use arrows, flows, or prototypes. Show how one screen leads to another. How does the user move from sign-in to the dashboard? What happens after a failed form submission?

Clear flows reduce assumptions. They boost accuracy and protect the experience.

Don’t Assume—Explain Everything

If you think “they’ll figure it out,” you’re gambling. Don’t bet on assumptions. Be explicit. If spacing matters, specify it. If icons change on hover, state it. If the form uses input masks, note it.

Details matter. Vague handoffs waste time.

Schedule a Walkthrough

Files are good, but conversations are better. So, hold a handoff meeting. Walk through the design. Explain goals, highlight tricky spots, invite questions, and welcome feedback. Face-to-face, voice-to-voice, or screen-to-screen—it doesn’t matter. A real-time walkthrough clears fog like nothing else.

Be Available Post-Handoff

Your role doesn’t end after the handoff. Be ready to clarify and answer follow-up questions. More importantly, adjust designs if necessary.

Developers may uncover edge cases or might need additional assets. So, stay accessible. Keep the flow alive.

Test Together, Improve Together

Once the design is live, join the testing phase. Compare design vs. build. Check spacing, typography, colour usage, and interaction states. Give constructive feedback. Spot bugs early. Suggest fixes.

Celebrate what works. Fix what doesn’t.

Testing isn’t just QA’s job. Designers own the experience, too.

Final Thoughts

Design handoff is not a file drop. It’s a conversation. A process. A partnership. It demands clarity, empathy, and precision.

Designers and developers speak different dialects, but they share the same goal—a brilliant product. When that baton is passed with care, the result is seamless, elegant, and cohesive. So, take the time and build the bridge. The space between design and code lies the magic of digital creation.

Supercharging Jira Cloud with Forge Services: A Look Through Sparxsys Solutions

In the world of agile teams and modern project management, Jira Cloud has become a cornerstone tool for collaboration, task tracking, and workflow automation. But with every versatile platform comes the need for customization—and that’s where Jira Forge shines.

With Forge, Atlassian provides a cloud-native development platform that enables developers to create secure, scalable, and reliable apps right within the Jira ecosystem. Among Forge’s most powerful features are Forge Services, which help developers interact with Jira's APIs, manage storage, call external APIs, and more—all while keeping performance and security in check.

In this post, we’ll explore how Jira Forge Services can transform your Jira experience, and we’ll look at how companies like Sparxsys Solutions are leveraging this technology to build real-world apps that solve specific business problems.

What Are Jira Forge Services?

Atlassian Forge Services are a collection of pre-packaged modules that simplify tasks such as:

Storing data (@forge/storage)

Calling remote APIs (@forge/api)

Authenticating with third-party systems (@forge/oauth)

Fetching information from Jira itself (@forge/jira)

These services eliminate the need to set up separate backend infrastructure. Everything runs in Atlassian’s secure cloud, which means no separate servers or databases to maintain.

This serverless model greatly reduces development complexity and security risks, making Forge the ideal platform for small and enterprise teams alike.

Why Use Forge Services?

Whether you’re building an internal Jira app for your organization or creating a marketplace app for global users, Forge Services offer some clear benefits:

Security by Design: Forge apps operate within Atlassian’s security sandbox, so you don’t have to worry about common vulnerabilities like SQL injection or cross-site scripting.

Simplified Development: With built-in services like @forge/api, calling the Jira REST API becomes a breeze. No need to handle authentication headers manually.

Scalability: Since the apps run in the cloud, they scale automatically based on demand.

Low Maintenance: Forge handles hosting, security, and patching, which reduces the overhead for developers.

Real-World Implementation: Sparxsys Solutions

One of the standout players in the Atlassian ecosystem is Sparxsys Solutions, a leading consultancy that specializes in Jira, Confluence, and Atlassian app development. Known for their contributions to the Atlassian Marketplace and strong community presence, Sparxsys has been at the forefront of leveraging Forge Services.

In one of their recent projects, Sparxsys developed a custom Forge app to help a client automate Jira issue creation based on incoming emails from a specific service. Using Forge’s API and storage services, they created an app that:

Listens to email events via a webhook

Parses the email content

Extracts relevant information

Creates a Jira issue automatically with all required custom fields

All of this was done without deploying a single server. The result was a lean, maintainable, and highly scalable solution that was delivered in record time.

A Glimpse at the Code

Here’s a simple example of how @forge/api can be used in a Forge app to fetch Jira issues:

javascript

CopyEdit

import api from '@forge/api'; export async function run() { const response = await api.asApp().requestJira('/rest/api/3/search?jql=assignee=currentUser()'); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); }

In just a few lines, developers can interact with Jira data securely and efficiently. No tokens, no auth headaches—just clean, direct API access.

What About Forge Limitations?

Forge is still evolving, and there are a few limitations developers should be aware of:

Not all Jira REST API endpoints are currently supported.

Timeouts can affect long-running processes.

Limited ability to run background jobs (though Atlassian is improving this with scheduled triggers).

That said, Forge is gaining features rapidly, and the benefits of serverless architecture often outweigh these limitations for many use cases.

Final Thoughts

Jira Forge Services represent a major leap forward in Atlassian app development. They offer a blend of security, scalability, and simplicity that’s hard to match with traditional app frameworks. By offloading infrastructure concerns, Forge lets developers focus purely on creating value.

Companies like Sparxsys Solutions are already building innovative, real-world solutions on this platform—and that’s just the beginning. Whether you're a seasoned Jira admin or a developer looking to break into the Atlassian ecosystem, now is the perfect time to explore what Forge Services can offer.

Revolutionizing Farming: The Rise of Agricultural Machines in Oman

Oman, with its varied landscape and agricultural roots, has long been a proponent of farming as an integral component of its economic and cultural identity. From the verdant date palm plantations of Al Dakhiliyah to the rich fields of Al Batinah, agriculture still nourishes the country—literally and metaphorically. But in the wake of contemporary challenges such as labor shortages, water shortages, and climate change, old ways of farming are yielding to something stronger: agricultural machinery.

Why Agricultural Machinery Matters More Than Ever

Omani agriculture is confronted with a special set of challenges. Oman's dry climate, combined with the imperative of sustainable resource use, demands more intelligent, more efficient farming solutions. That's where farm machinery comes in—not as tools, but as game-changers.

These machines not only increase productivity and decrease labor, but also allow precision farming methods that save resources while maximizing yield. Whether it is soil preparation, seeding, irrigation, or harvesting, mechanization has become a necessity for farms of any size.

The Most Sought-After Agricultural Machines in Oman

Farms in Oman are increasingly turning to technology to make their operations more efficient and sustainable. Some of the most popular machines in use include:

Rotavators and Tillers: Perfect for breaking up and preparing soil for planting.

Tractors: The backbone of modern farming—used for plowing, transporting, and operating various implements.

Sprayers: These ensure precise pesticide and fertilizer application, reducing waste and improving crop health.

Irrigation Equipment: With water scarcity being a major concern, modern irrigation systems like drip and sprinkler setups are helping farmers use water more efficiently.

Harvesting Machines: These reduce the time and labor needed to gather crops, especially in large-scale farms.

Smart Farming for a Smarter Future

Technology is transforming farming all over the world, and Oman is not an exception. Farmers are starting to incorporate GPS-guided tractors, moisture sensors, and automated irrigation systems into their operations. The payoff? Higher yields, less waste, and the capacity to make informed decisions.

This move towards smart agriculture isn't convenience-driven—it's necessity-driven. As the world's food demand increases and environmental pressures grow, the future of agriculture will rely greatly on innovation.

Al Ariq Oman: Powering Agricultural Progress

At the forefront of this agricultural transformation is Al Ariq Oman, a trusted name in providing high-quality machinery and solutions to farmers and industries across the Sultanate.

Whether you’re a smallholder farmer or managing a large agricultural enterprise, Al Ariq Oman offers tailored equipment and expert support to help you succeed. Their lineup includes some of the most reliable and efficient agricultural machines in Oman, along with other vital solutions.

Here’s what sets Al Ariq Oman apart:

Agricultural Machines in Oman: From tractors to sprayers and everything in between, Al Ariq provides robust machinery that caters to the specific needs of Omani terrain and climate.

High-Pressure Washers in Oman: Essential for maintaining hygiene in farms, dairies, and industrial spaces.

Fire Trucks in Oman: Designed for emergency response and safety, especially in agricultural and rural areas.

Organic Fertilizers in Oman: Supporting environmentally friendly farming practices with nutrient-rich, sustainable soil treatments.

But their offerings don’t stop at agriculture. Al Ariq Oman is also a leading pole bin supplier and pedal bin supplier, contributing to better waste management and cleaner communities across Oman.

Serving Diverse Industries with Integrity

What makes Al Ariq Oman a preferred choice among farmers and institutions is their commitment to service, innovation, and sustainability. They not only supply machines but also offer:

Expert consultation to choose the right equipment.

Training and after-sales support for optimal performance.

Maintenance and spare parts availability for long-term value.

With years of industry experience, the team at Al Ariq understands the local market like no other. Whether you're farming dates, vegetables, or operating in livestock or greenhouse farming, they have solutions built for your success.

A Trusted Partner in Omani Agriculture

As Oman diversifies its economy and builds food security, agricultural equipment will continue to be a vital investment. Oman's farmers are poised to take the next step toward sustainable, modern farming—and Al Ariq Oman is ready to assist them in doing just that.

Their blend of innovative products, local knowledge, and commitment to customer satisfaction sets them apart in the farm equipment industry.

If you are willing to take your farm operation to the next level, Al Ariq Oman welcomes you to discover the difference that innovation, reliability, and quality can bring.

Final Thoughts

Farm equipment is not just machinery—it is the future of Oman farming. As we work to do more with less, respond to the demands of the environment, and feed more mouths, the importance of mechanization grows.

With the likes of Al Ariq Oman at the forefront, the Sultanate's farmers are adequately positioned to face these challenges head-on—reaping not only crops, but a more prosperous and sustainable future.

The Role of Non-Clinical Professionals in Modern Hospitals: More Than Just Doctors and Nurses

When we think of hospitals, our minds often picture doctors in white coats, nurses tending to patients, and surgeons in operating rooms. While these clinical professionals are the heart of patient care, the smooth functioning of a hospital depends on a vast team of non-clinical professionals working quietly behind the scenes. From managing hospital operations to ensuring accurate documentation, these roles are just as vital to a hospital's success as any medical procedure.

Who Are Non-Clinical Professionals?

Non-clinical professionals are individuals who work in healthcare settings but do not directly provide medical treatment to patients. Instead, they handle administrative, technical, and operational tasks that ensure hospitals run efficiently and meet all legal, financial, and organizational standards.

Common non-clinical roles include:

Medical coders and billers

Hospital administrators

Healthcare managers

Insurance coordinators

Medical documentation specialists

Human resource and finance officers

IT support and healthcare data analysts

These roles are becoming increasingly important as hospitals adopt more advanced technologies, implement strict regulatory protocols, and aim for higher patient satisfaction.

Why Hospitals Need Non-Clinical Experts

Modern healthcare is not just about saving lives — it's about delivering quality care efficiently and ethically. Here’s how non-clinical professionals make that possible:

1. Ensuring Smooth Operations

From scheduling patient appointments to managing hospital budgets, non-clinical staff handle the workflows that allow doctors and nurses to focus on patient care without delays or confusion.

2. Accurate Medical Documentation

Medical coders and documentation specialists play a critical role in recording diagnoses, treatments, and procedures. Accurate coding ensures proper billing, insurance processing, and legal compliance.

3. Legal and Ethical Compliance

Healthcare laws are complex and constantly evolving. Hospital administrators and managers ensure that the hospital adheres to medical laws, accreditation standards, and ethical practices.

4. Financial Sustainability

Revenue cycle management, budgeting, and insurance claim processing — all handled by trained professionals — keep the hospital financially stable while reducing out-of-pocket costs for patients.

5. Enhancing Patient Experience

From front-desk coordinators to healthcare managers, non-clinical professionals ensure that patients have a seamless and compassionate experience during their stay.

Opportunities for Graduates in Non-Clinical Healthcare

The rise of hospital chains, digital health records, and global health standards has created huge career opportunities for both life science and non-life science graduates. Courses like:

Medical Coding

Healthcare Administration

Hospital Management

Healthcare Documentation (IHAD)

…are opening doors to high-salary careers in hospitals, insurance firms, medical BPOs, and even international healthcare systems.

You don’t need a medical degree to build a rewarding career in this field — just the right training and a passion for organized, purpose-driven work.

Why Arown Academy?

If you're aiming to enter the healthcare field through a non-clinical path, Arown Academy, the best medical coding institute in Kerala, provides internationally certified programs in Medical Coding, Hospital Management, IHAD, and more, along with placement assistance and practical training. Whether your goal is to work in India or abroad, Arown's expert faculty and real-time projects help you build both confidence and competence.

Final Thoughts

Hospitals are complex ecosystems — and behind every successful treatment lies a team of trained non-clinical professionals making sure everything runs smoothly. These roles may not involve stethoscopes or surgeries, but they are crucial to patient safety, hospital efficiency, and healthcare outcomes.

If you're a graduate looking to enter the healthcare world, non-clinical careers offer a fulfilling, stable, and high-impact future — without needing to become a doctor or nurse.

Your Dashboard is Slower Than It Should Be – Here’s How to Fix It!

We've all been there. You log into your dashboard, expecting instant insights, but instead, you're greeted with a painfully slow loading screen. Your frustration grows, and by the time your data finally loads, you’ve lost valuable minutes—or worse, your patience.

A slow dashboard isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a business killer. It frustrates users, delays critical decision-making, and can even impact revenue. But don’t worry! Whether you're a dashboard developer, business owner, or product manager, I’ve got you covered. Let’s break down why your dashboard is slow and, more importantly, how to fix it.

1. Understanding Why Your Dashboard is Slow

Before we dive into solutions, let's diagnose the common performance bottlenecks:

Heavy Queries & Database Overload

If your dashboard relies on a database to fetch real-time information, poorly optimized queries can cause significant slowdowns. Think about it like a crowded coffee shop: if every customer orders a highly customized drink (complex query), the barista (database) gets overwhelmed.

Inefficient Data Fetching

Fetching too much data at once or making too many API calls leads to sluggish performance. Imagine trying to carry 15 grocery bags in one trip—it’s just not efficient.

Front-End Rendering Issues

Even if your backend is lightning-fast, a poorly optimized front-end can slow everything down. Unnecessary re-renders, unoptimized JavaScript, or rendering massive amounts of data all contribute to sluggish performance.

Lack of Caching

If your dashboard fetches the same data repeatedly without caching, it’s like checking your fridge every five minutes to see if food magically appeared. Instead, cache frequently used data to improve speed.

Poor Data Structure

If your data isn’t indexed properly, finding what you need can be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

2. Diagnosing Dashboard Performance Issues

Before we start fixing things, let's find the root cause. Here are some tools and techniques to help:

Google Lighthouse & PageSpeed Insights

Use these tools to check your front-end performance. They pinpoint render-blocking scripts, slow-loading assets, and other issues.

Database Query Profilers

If your dashboard pulls data from a database, tools like MySQL EXPLAIN or PostgreSQL EXPLAIN ANALYZE can help identify slow queries.

Chrome DevTools & Network Analysis

Monitor API response times, find unnecessary requests, and optimize network traffic.

Server Logs & Load Testing

Check backend performance by analyzing server logs and running load tests to see how well your system handles heavy traffic.

3. Optimizing Backend Performance

Efficient Query Design & Data Management

Use Indexed Databases: Indexing speeds up searches significantly. Think of it as a well-organized library versus one with books scattered everywhere.

Optimize SQL Queries: Avoid using SELECT * when you only need specific fields.

Implement Pagination: Load data in chunks rather than all at once to improve responsiveness.

Normalize vs. Denormalize Data: Balance between reducing redundancy (normalization) and speeding up queries (denormalization).

Caching Strategies for Speed Boost

Redis or Memcached: Store frequently accessed data to reduce database queries.

Edge & Browser Caching: Cache static content so it doesn’t reload unnecessarily.

Pre-aggregated Data Storage: If your dashboard requires heavy calculations, consider storing pre-computed results.

4. Optimizing API Calls & Data Fetching

Reduce the Number of API Calls

Instead of making multiple small API requests, batch them to reduce network load.

Use WebSockets for Real-Time Data

Polling APIs every few seconds? Switch to WebSockets for faster real-time updates with less load on the server.

Optimize API Response Payloads

Only send the data you need. A bloated API response slows down everything.

Leverage GraphQL

Unlike REST APIs that return fixed responses, GraphQL lets you request only the fields you need, improving efficiency.

5. Front-End Optimization for Faster Dashboards

Minify & Bundle JavaScript and CSS

Large scripts can slow down dashboard loading times. Minify and bundle them to improve performance.

Lazy Loading & Async Loading

Only load content when needed. For example, don’t load a chart until the user scrolls to it.

Optimize Component Rendering

If you’re using React, Vue, or Angular, avoid unnecessary re-renders by using memorization and state management best practices.

Use Virtualization for Large Data Tables

Rendering thousands of rows at once is a bad idea. Instead, use virtualization techniques like React Virtualized to load only what the user sees.

Choose the Right Visualization Library

Not all charting libraries are created equal. Use lightweight options like Chart.js instead of more complex libraries if you don’t need advanced features.

6. Preventing Future Slowdowns

Regular Performance Audits & Load Testing

Schedule periodic performance reviews to catch slowdowns before users complain.

Monitor API Latency & Server Response Times

Use tools like New Relic, DataDog, or Prometheus to keep an eye on your backend.

Set Up Automated Alerts for Performance Drops

Be proactive—set up alerts for when response times exceed a certain threshold.

Keep Your Tech Stack Updated

Old versions of frameworks and libraries can be less efficient. Regularly update your stack for performance improvements.

Conclusion

Slow dashboards are frustrating, but the good news is they’re fixable. By diagnosing performance bottlenecks, optimizing your backend and front-end, and implementing long-term monitoring, you can create a dashboard development services that loads in seconds, not minutes.

Take action today—start with a performance audit and apply at least one of these improvements. Your users (and your business) will thank you!
