The US has been working with China for decades economically. The rhetoric around them being an enemy is very peculiar, since the US and China have been tightly coupled economic partners for decades now. That said however, the US economy rel

Unity is used by so many studios, it's a great signal if you're joining one of those and probably a good signal for Unreal shops as well. I think knowing C++ is a more robust signal for senior technical roles but I don't thin

I advocated an enterprise to migrate away almost two years ago now. In enterprise time that means the project to do so is just about complete, so I am feeling pretty vindicated just now.
