Pretty big ask to have people just jump in. An itch.io style page would be nice for a preview.

RE: that Neil O'Brien piece Demographic collapse? Sure, huge issue. But why is this happening? Why did it start happening before the other issues? A rap group being critical of Churchill at an official event? Not really an issue. I don

IMO That example is way too complicated to be an elevator pitch. I'm trying to understand what working with your framework would be like for a web app, not the boilerplate to establish rules and state management of a small game. The tu

I worked on USAID software for reporting costs and results and there were annual and quarterly briefings IIRC. It was kind of a whole thing. Also, Congress codified it as an independent agency in 1998. So.. that last part isn't true ei

The placement of the monitor is also odd, doubly so because it is curved. Most sims will let you render offset from the driver seat (iRacing has keyboard shortcuts to make all these adjustments easily) but the image is being rendered from a

I also have an LLC for software and didn't love having to put my address, since I don't have a storefront or anything either, but I don't think it reveals any more info than someone could find from having your name in the fir

What the hell is going on with the little sentences in that example? I thought it was supposed to be like, a bad VC rap joke song or something? I was looking for rhymes. It's really lame.

Clue (1985) had several different endings sent to different theaters, which as a comedy was a pretty funny and novel idea. The VHS release contained all of them at the end with title cards to explain why. If this doc is screening in theater

There's a narcissism that lends to every generation thinking theirs is the end of history, but I don't think it entirely explains anxiety over climate change.

That sort of sounds like the solution I was thinking of when reading this.. that handlers should only cache the signal received to be handled at the program's convenience, except for a kill signal etc.

I sent out plenty of resumes with nice cover letters to jobs I felt overqualified for over the 4 months I was just looking, and had maybe one response.. from a recruiter. But I worked with a recruiter for a few of those months and they got

Making less money isn't a "loser mentality", for an SWE or anyone else. I'd happily take something that paid less for good non-profit work etc (but those orgs have always been really rough for other reasons). Also, 150k

The market is the market, for better or worse. I do think SWE are overvalued socially/monetarily, but I don't see why you're so emotional over someone saying they deserve what they can get. Or if they make more than you if th

$180k within four years is more than reasonable if you get into FAANG. I've had plenty of kids right out of college asking for $140k and getting it from other companies, and this was 5 years ago, so within four years of typical ZIRP jo

That's totally valid, also. I do sometimes miss the office, particularly from when I worked in a healthy office culture, but would want it to be optional.

That's fascinating, thanks. None of the various analysis I've read so far have hit on this point but it makes sense.

Bingo re: Unity going public. Once you have a stock price (and assuming your early investors aren't the most aggressive type in the first place) the goal then shifts to infinite growth, and lately tech companies (even Google Netflix et

This is great. I was making a 3D NES emulator years ago, which just dug into the PPU memory (plus some register hooks during frames) to figure out what was being rendered (old archived explainer here https://web.archive.org/

Early JS state management was horrific, yeah, but modern libraries (while a little hard to wrap your mind around initially) are really powerful.

I agree with your meta-analysis-analysis completely. Just chiming in to say that I chuckled when you reminded me of this classic: https://twitter.com/dril/status/464802196060917762?lang=en

Nothing! Quite the opposite. You've avoided the typical modern meat grinder approach to hiring devs. If you've been at the same company for 5-6 years or just slotted into a comfy niche then you'll have avoided it. Congrats

I like the idea of an initiative for applications to provide metadata for any window manager to handle them more intelligently. Letting the user quickly fill in the gaps in the meantime for local applications would also be nice. I've p

I strongly agree on the last point about early validation, albeit with two exceptions: when you're marketing a product you want to sell and want to generate hype, or your product requires early feedback. I've kept things hidden to

Yeah, my last gig had high turnover (not a coincidence with the dysfunction) and it made it particularly apparent that the estimates were a waste of time, but we kept on trucking.

For me the most absurd conversation around Fibonacci estimation is the burndown (etc) charts and group estimates.. you can't add non-linear values and expect the sum to mean anything! I've had managers fight over how the upcoming
