9 Slice Scaling Puns

Hello reddit, I'm unfamiliar with ID and I can't find this solution on google. I copied a frame from AI to ID and I want to apply the 9 slice scaling from illustrator and other adobe programs where you slice the object in 9 and the middle parts get scaled while the corners stay the same size. What's the equivalent of this in ID?

It makes no sense whatsoever, so can someone please help?

This might be a dumb question, but will my S1 220 ilvl gear scale to 233 in S2 or is it only S2 gear that scales?

Hey guys, haven't told this story before, but here's how I scaled a company from 15-75 people in nine months, screwed everything up in the process, and then fixed it with the help of some of my favorite people in the world.

If you’re in scale-up mode, and particularly if it seems overwhelmingly hard, my hope is that this story gives you some scaffolding to use to scale more gracefully than I did. But more than that, my hope is that this story reminds you that you’re not alone. Scaling a company is supposed to be hard. The good news is, if you’re lucky enough to be in a position to do it, you have already proven you can do hard things.

Fair warning, it’s a bit longer (~15 minute read). So find a comfy chair, grab some coffee, and enjoy.

How to scale a company the hard way

I knew it had gotten bad when our engineering team started working downstairs at the bar.

During the previous nine months, as we scaled our company nationally and our team ballooned from 15 people to 75 people, tensions between our teams had mounted steadily. Our sales team was working their asses off but struggling to hit the kind of per-rep sales numbers they’d achieved easily at a smaller scale. They claimed they were losing credibility every time they had to tell customers that an amazing new feature they’d promised had been delayed, again. If we couldn’t deliver on the product we’d already sold, how could our customers trust us when we tried to sell the next new product? The sales team could succeed, they said, if only the product team would do their part.

Meanwhile, the product team, responsible for maintaining our existing product and delivering new features on time and on budget, was also working their asses off even as they fell further and further behind on our roadmap. Each time they tried to deliver a new feature, they explained, they discovered that the sales team had promised way more to customers than they had agreed upon, and as a result they had no choice but to hack something together. But they were also struggling because they were already spending so much time fixing bugs from previous sales-overreach-driven hacks. The product team could succeed, if the sales and support teams would let them just build what they’d estimated on the roadmap in the first place.

Our support team, responsible for helping customers make the most of our product, was (you guessed it) working their asses off. But customers were complaining louder and louder. They just needed the pro

Scaling is way off for those 2 expansions and with 9.1 not coming for many months we should be able to solo Legion raids (nm,hc,mythic) and atleast be able to clear all BfA raids with a pug group. I looked through my old screenshots and I did the last raid of the previous expanion on mythic during the first tier of whichever expansion was current at the time. At the start of Legion, HFC Mythic was puggable, at the start of BFA, Antorus Mythic was puggable. The scaling is just way off now and it would be nice if they could make the scaling comparable to what we had in the past.

Will dungeon mobs/bosses be more difficult in 9.1 since they drop higher item level gear?

I hate Torghast and TC, but I want the mount you earn by clearing layer 8 of TC to satisfy my mount collecting urges.

With that in mind, is TC going to scale in difficulty next patch? I know right now the official guidance is that layer 8 is designed for ilvl 226. Can I just wait till my ilvl is well above that in 9.1 to do it? Or is TC going to scale in difficulty? Also, will the TC mount still be available in 9.1?

Thanks for any answers, I had trouble finding responses online.

Took me almost 9 years to realize that, lol.

Old Fiddlesticks also had a thing for 45%-ratios, unfortunately those were probably random.

Hello guys! So the thing is I was working on an app but I've noticed that if the room has 1080x1920 it has black bars when I play the game on a 20:9 phone. I know it has black bars because it's not 16:9 but I'm trying to figure out a way to fill the phone's display with the background and keep objects unscaled. I would also like to put more space between objects (height space if the resolution has more height than 16:9 or width if the resolution is wider) you can check the uploaded photos to understand better. I've searched on google and I've took a look at some videos but it didn't really help me. I've tried to run this at the start of the room but the application surface just zoomed in.

>- [NEWS] Shakey’s [PIZZA 7.93 ▲6.30%] sells 9% stake to Gokongwei Family for ₱1.25bn... the deal is a private placement at an implied per-share price of ₱8.20, to give JE Investments (the Gokongwei Family’s private investment company) a 9% stake in PIZZA. That’s a 10% premium over the previous day’s close. PIZZA intends to use the money to fund expansion, while it isn’t immediately clear what investing thesis the Gokongweis used, Lance Gokongwei did mention that he has “confidence” that PIZZA will be a leader in the food service industry, which he said has good long-term prospects “against the backdrop of rising Filipino incomes”. > - MB: *The news caused the shares to pop almost 7% to ₱7.93/share, which is still 3% less than the price paid by the Gokongweis. The deal is entirely for primary shares, which means that they are new shares created by PIZZA and not some old/existing shares from some large PIZZA shareholder. This is money that will be put to work

It appears to not be scaling anything.

In the past 9 months, I've gone from being a full-time freelancer with a few clients to running a niche agency with 50 contractors and three full-time staff. We've still got a long way to go, but I wanted to share the steps I took here to move the business from freelancing to building a team and extracting myself from (almost) all of the day-to-day operations.

1. I Niched Down...Hard

When I first started freelancing, I took just about any client that came my way. I knew what my skills were, but I hadn't figured out where the profitable, scalable niche was yet.

After a couple months of trying various things and having countless conversations with prospects, competitors, and clients, I started to really narrow down what I did and for whom. My niche is now so narrow that there are only 5-6 real companies out there doing it.

You might think that choosing a narrow niche would hurt my chances of finding a sale, but the opposite happened. As I got more narrow, clients and friends referred me more and better new clients. Additionally, it was easier to do cold outreach when I had such a narrow scope. I earned trust faster because all my existing clients looked so similar to the new clients I was pitching.

Admittedly, not just any niche will work. There has to be existing demand and an ability to pay, but finding economies of scale and training other people got infinitely easier as I narrowed my scope.

The more similar each of your clients is, the more scalable your service becomes.

2. I Started Tracking My Time

As new clients started knocking on my door, I started to define each step in my marketing, sales, and operational process. Initially, I came up with 5 categories:

• Marketing - social media, email newsletter, content marketing
• Sales - calls, emails, follow-ups, chasing
• Account management - planning work, delivering work, answering questions, renewing clients, getting payments
• Production - performing the tasks required to complete our service
• Administrative - legal, tax, bills, licenses, etc.

Then, I started tracking my time spent on each of these categories. Yes, even when the business was just me, I was tracking how much time I spent doing sales calls vs. producing work.

I also tracked (more qualitatively) my mood while doing each of these tasks. For example, I quickly realized that sales calls were fun, but I couldn’t do them all day. I also realized that I liked the production process, but it took by far the most time.
