I'll explain what the difference is here. I suggest all software developers learn to use something like http://www.vischeck.com/ on their UIs: The colors "Green" and "Red" aren't visible at all to R/G colorblind people. There are actually

You have most of it. More importantly: You always do X Y and Z in poker (many times), even if you will probably lose the current hand, because X Y and Z are all positive expectation, even if the current result of that particular instance tu

Poker is far more about making risk reward calculations. Chess is far more about pattern matching. Starcraft is about planning a strategy then executing it on many many fronts at once.

However, Backgammon is really only useful for figuring things out about people who were alive in the 70s, as no one else plays it. It's a VERY boring game without gambling, which is illegal many places (the doubling die doesn't matter reall

Infographics are fine. Just some people put too much photoshop and too little Tufte in their infographics. Filling the page with chartjunk and slathering on effects that lie with art instead of clarify with art.

Eh, people's skill in stuff is all over the place. I think android, especially UI based android, IS slower currently than iOS to make, however I am guessing your iOS app was done by people who were better at their type of apps in general

I think that perhaps is a phone skills thing though? You only have to be 1/5th as good if you can take 5x as many calls as you can in person meeetings I'd say less than 10 people have ever asked for references.
