I'm a man and when I used dating apps they were entertainment. Used to say crazy shit for fun, copy and paste prewritten messages, etc.

Epic doesn't pay below market rate. They can't offer stock because they aren't public but offer cash bonuses 2x-4x salary. I do agree with OP that (some) game developers undervalue IT. Oculus had a similar and pay rate was eq

Tiltbrush is opensource, but not actively being maintained by Google and hasn't been for a long time. Some of the original team is involved in maintaining an opensource fork, however, but this is not a Google product. Daydream was suns

Google has bailed on VR apps (for the most part, Owlchemy is still there), so I imagine not. It'd be cool if Google Earth VR was opensource like Tiltbrush. Like Tiltbrush it was one of the foundational early VR apps that people demoed

It sounds like OP was talking about the same process, although they skipped mentioning bootcamp and only mentioned team selection. They also accounted for specialist pre-allocated roles. My FB experience was different than many because I wa

$1400 is the cost to put kids in alternative private programs (daycare/preschool). Keeping kids in (public) kindergarten is "free". I put that in quotes because pandemic kindergarten requires significantly more parent involve

This is a great lesson in accessibility and building the right product for a specific user. While you call it "awful" you ended up with something extremely accessible that made your user happy. This is an extreme example, but ther

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced a big military contract for Hololens. Before that, they announced a Discord acquisition, before that finalized Bethesda acquisition, etc. You're right that it might be my bias (I work in games, ga

There are multiple issues with free speech no matter what, and some of them are the result of closed platforms that have too much power over communication channels, but ultimately need to moderate to avoid turning their platform into 8chan.

It's reasonable to expect someone who is new to the industry to make a small game, so a better analogy might be expecting someone to be a decent home cook before getting a good service job. I agree though when you start talking about g

Blind is better for this than HN, but HN is pretty good, especially with the rise in throwaway accounts. I think this is because HN is more diverse, and Blind by it's nature is employees at your company and other big tech companies.

Yeah $400K is high L5. Not uncommon, but slightly above average. It's possible that if you average all engineers you'd get something close to $400K, but L3 and L4 salaries would bring that value down. In surveys L5 makes up the m

The issue with this is if you don't know what a fighting game is, explaining the genre would take up a lot of space in an article targeted at gamers that know the genre. Sure they could have opened up with "A fighting game, like S
