Historically, people in general have wanted to own some content, but been ok with a fungible form for most of the content they consume. But it was nice to know that for any piece of content, someone out there owned it and it would not be

They have held an extremely interesting tech blog for years, but it makes sense that they would talk more about design only after they had more than one game on the market.

Funny, jut a couple days ago I started using dotnet's System.CommandLine.DragonFruit which is similar in design philosophy to this - a main function with typed parameters and extra annotations. I would have never thought about this typ

I inevitably read CVs with a cover letter before those without (unless the cover letter looks like a wall of text). All I ask of a cover letter is that it reminds me to think of you as a human, nothing more; reading lists of projects, emplo

Companies also lose their worst innovators the same way - we get to find out who was which afterwards. (*) we find out through success or failure, which is at best a proxy.

IANAL but this looks to me (sorry, in Spanish) like an example of one that was enforced without anything particularly nefarious, and included the employee having to return the compensation and pay an additional amount for damages on top of

In Spain it also needs a reasonable compensation, AFAIK estimates are around 80% of the salary the employee would have received during the period the post-employment limitation lasts. It can be paid "while you are employed", which

I would think that this engineer's ideas of how things were going to change were mistaken. I don't know the insides of this case, but generally, the impact you have on the game you work on depends on three things: - the trust and

Single-function classes make sense if you want the computation to happen lazily on-demand (it may be resource-intensive in CPU, GPU, storage, I/O, etc). The class acts as the place to hold the parameters needed for it and the result if

Lowering salaries all of a sudden for a large % of their workforce who are currently very productive, would be a bad move, destroy value instantly that would take long to recover. It makes sense to pay to keep that value, at least for a whi
