It was very important for us to deliver the “WarCraft” experience no matter what computer or language you played. It’s true that it was not the most groundbreaking 3D game in term of what was technically possible i guess.

A tireless focus on delivery. The QA manager came out of his office one day with a critical announcement. He was angry that we started taking a more quantitative approach to QA, producing lateral results and accomplishing little to nothing.

Believe me I know, I also loved my monster voodoo card but Nvidia changed the game with GeForce 1 and the record breaking scores in 3Dmark. Nothing really was able to deliver spectacular graphics a̶p̶p̶r̶e̶c̶i̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶

Props to the compatibility lab at Blizzard. They worked a lot of overtime with me. I owned a Matrox Millenium card myself for 3DSmax and TruSpace. There was no such thing as truly dedicated gaming cards. Only high end cards for CAD. The gam

Ok, one story you'll only hear on HN. There was one notoriously very high payed engineer behind Battle.net. (I think they payed him $500k per year) Anyways, he loathed coming down to QA and intermingling with us minions. But one day he

Another interesting story is that the engine came from an engineer at Nihilistic who made Descent, a PC pre-cursor to StarFox. It's just that it was never put to work as complicated before, Descent had just 4 perspectives and only a ha

Yep. Very true. I have a hard time enjoying WarCraft3 and WoW. Those were work projects. But I shared this feeling playing WarCraft2.

I was the QA Lead for Grapics on WarCraft3. This was Blizzards first 3D game and the early engine was very error prone but with the meticulous attention to detail and the sheer amount of time we spent polishing. This game turned out flawles

wouldn't recommend working with this guy. I was an early consumer of the service and I gave him a great suggestion of simplifying the form to make it easier and he flipped out, cursed me and deleted my account. This guy's a loose

Not quite. I’m looking for an additional feature where given a set of coordinates it would give you back a full set of results parsed additionally by type of establishment.

Smart. I was wondering -could it work by suggesting keywords based on coordinates?

PayPal.me is really easy to integrate. By far the easiest of all, however, you get no callback. This is a showstopper for most and also recurring payments aren’t possible either. I used paypal.me for both my apps; gif.com.ai and 2fb.me just

Your right! Now there is a good example of a site that doesn’t need to be a SPA!

Good luck building my application https://gif.com.ai as a non SPA. This is an app as much as photoshop is an app so this is a good case for a SPA as the author suggests. If over 85 percent of your app logic is on the front end t

I don’t know. I’m my case I think the reviewers had a hard time following how my extension operated. And instead of following their written rules around minification, they closed it down. I didn’t feel comfortable sending over all my open u
