And they couldn’t just autoscale the login servers in the cloud. I remember the login servers were always an issue after down time.

I think including abandoned server code is odd, and I'm for it. I think we should start curating more public libraries with games in general, but that's going to be very difficult to do publicly (i.e. in a government library) in t

Very cool! I enjoyed playing a little during my lunch break. I've got to say, for what it is, it's very fun. I don't feel like I'm learning, but I also feel like I'm learning. :)

Snap's game is changing from getting people in the door to keeping them inside. No longer do they need that network effect to get people in the door -- they've escaped orbit. In fact, they're probably discovering that what wo

Rent certainly makes it more affordable to live somewhere until you suddenly never own your home and the rent was higher than the potential mortgage the whole time. I understand home ownership has a lot of hidden costs, but I think the rent

I'd argue this is a common organizational dysfunction -- "only the leader can lead," nonsense. There are glaring organizational problems at Uber, and I truly hope removing Travis from the head helps turn their toxic culture a
