I’d like to suggest the practice of posting smaller excerpts. Long excerpts are less likely to be read and resemble articles in themselves.
Their comprehensiveness may render them irrelevant, and demotivate readers from going to the source before commenting.
IMHO an excerpt should generally have no more than two paragraphs, with exceptions for long reads (3500 words+).
For reference (and out of personal choice), 750 characters may be an ideal max, give or take.

Hi folks, I hope this is ok to post.
Flow (also known as 'the zone', and others) is a mental state of profound task-absorption that makes a person feel one with the activity in which they are involved - I'm sure many of you have experienced it.
I'm on a team of people doing research on flow theory, and we focus on people employed in software development. Our goal is to help make the office a better place for employees, by understanding when and why people enter flow. We prepared a survey for some work- and flow related topics, and it would be of great help if you could take and maybe even share it.
Completing the survey only takes 2-5 minutes of your time, and we will handle your anonymous entries with utmost care.

I am a fullstack developer that spends a good portion of my time building out complex User Interfaces, and the rest building out back-ends for that software. In my opinion the current method that my company uses for a designer to developer hand off is a bit lacking in efficiency.
The current method is usually a designer will provide a developer with a Photoshop (or very occasionally an Illustrator) file containing the entire applications design. It is then up to the developer to export assets (both quick exporting things as pngs, going through and separating shadows from assets, or creating assets from the layers provided) and dig through the file to determine fonts and placement of items.
Is it a common expectation that a developer should be spending a good chunk of time in Adobe on asset manipulation?
Additionally does anyone have any process or program suggestions that may make life easier?
