Just mentioned that it was on the list of games in terms of popularity, never said it was AAA. However, Garry has lots of pull in games including towards AAA developers. I did not say that game was AAA but on the notable Unity list that eve

I agree, Unity strength is their platform support. They will always be viable. However the simplicity and speed are taking a hit. This is coming from someone that got companies to switch to Unity because it was so good for a time and in m

I think software quality has gone way down at Apple since Scott Forstall left. Side note, I still have fond memories of working at 2XL Games and on ESPN X-Games Snocross and it was one of the first games shown on the iPad on stage by Scott

MongoDB was only really ever a competitor to memcached, redis, others and really only good as a caching layer like those. It is decent for that. There was a time when JSON wasn't that integrated into databases, it is now. That was rea

It depends on how many projects you have. A place like Slack has only one client/product really when it comes down to it, so they can get pedantic about it and look down on smart reuse across projects with robust tested libs on top of
