Nice! I'm glad you were able to make that work.

Good to know. I prefer something a bit more consistent, personally.

Makes sense!

Did you get a sense of the stress level or work/life balance of the role?
185.
by jckahn 3y ago
Yes please! That sounds great.

Agreed. Imagine you’re a CEO: Why on earth would you want your expensive engineers reworking something that already makes money? It seems much more sensible to leave the working code alone and focus on new revenue-generating opportunities.

The Steam Deck and Framework laptop get me pretty excited!

So I take it you typically produce fully optimized, thoughtful, and correct code on the first iteration while being actively judged by a stranger, yes?

Reducing everything to a monospaced text character is a beautiful and simplifying constraint, IMO. It gives me as a user a sense of predictable consistency that I really appreciate.

Is that something users would want? It seems preferable as a user to have a standard presentation for form items.

Have you tried living without delivery drivers?

I get it. I would also greatly prefer to enjoy my days _and_ get paid a software engineer’s salary, but life is rarely that kind. And when it is, it tends not to last. I _want_ to enjoy my job, but I _need_ to make money. Most people don’t

Getting paid well enough to afford a satisfying lifestyle is pretty meaningful, IMO. Is that not enough?
197.
by jckahn 3y ago
Yep. And that's great!

Because we live in a society of people other than just ourselves. Life is generally better when we take care of each other.

Would this bill affect P2P apps? From the article: > The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services So it seems lik

You can’t, realistically. I don’t think there’s any repeatable or effective way to make non-nerds (AKA most people) care about this sort of thing.

Or simply ask for their bank account info and passwords. Surely there's nothing to hide with that!

It’s an overnight success that was years in the making!

We just upped the price to $4.99: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2080880/Farmhand_Go/ Thanks for the suggestion! I don't expect to start making significant money with this change, but it will be an i

by jckahn 3y ago
That's an interesting point. My partner and I went back and forth on pricing before we settled on $.99. That seemed to be the price that these types of narrowly-scoped, casual games go for. It's certainly possible that we got that

by jckahn 3y ago
Thank you! I think increasing the price of Farmhand Go from $.99 would pretty much kill all future sales, as we've only sold 85 units since launching in 2022. It's great to know that someone thinks the game is worth more than that

I'm the developer of https://www.farmhand.life/ , an open source indie game with a modest following. I've seriously explored commercializing Farmhand, but never actually followed through with it (aside from an expl

I do something similar and just dump everything into a giant chaotic document. It works well because I intuitively understand my own personal brand of chaos, so I know how to easily find everything.
