Better to increase a little every year then to shock people with a big increase after a while. Also you can do it nicely, "hey, I'm raising my prices but since you are a good customer I'll give you the old price for the next

Double Fine released a really fun game where you have to hack the underlying code to solve the puzzles. It's a good introduction to programming. https://www.doublefine.com/games/hack-n-slash After that, I'd p

Thanks for sharing this! I've been struggling with time tracking, I use a phone app but it doesn't really fit my habits anymore, especially now that I'm doing work on desktop and not mobile. This looks like exactly what I&#x2

I use Affinity's apps and sometimes Krita, and Procreate on iPad for drawing. I haven't been able to completely switch off of photoshop yet, not because of features just because I am so used to the workflow for a lot of things, bu

I've been using this for a couple months now and really enjoying it. Here's a couple of things I've built with it: Gummi Bridges, a game for the LDJAM game jam https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49&

I love IMGUIs but you have to be careful with the to get them to play nice with the event loop. If you're using it for a game where you're drawing every frame anyways, they're great. But for something that the user might keep

It depends. I've built a lot of these. The best approach is to keep the UI very lightweight and just build it using native controls for each platform. Keep all the application logic in a common library and just rewrite the parts that a

I’m using this for a game, it’s working great. Takes some getting used to the layout model, and if you need complicated layout (I don’t), particularly more than one column of widgets, you probably don’t want to use the built in layout (the

I've found in every job I've had the best results were from being good at mixing c++ code with other stuff. I know how to work with a lot of languages, but am not really an expert in any of them except C/cpp. Some examples: i

I have a tendency to do this sometimes. For me it helps to reframe the problem to a target spec. For example if I was making a 2D game I might get carried away with batching and atlasing things until I could draw tens of thousands of sprite

One thing that really helped for me was "walking to work", I would walk to a coffee shop a few blocks away and then back home and go straight to my office. It really helped having a clear routine to delineate working time from hom

I did a demo to a younger classroom that was a big hit. I took a simple platforming example video game, had them draw characters and enemies and stuff on a whiteboard, then took a picture with my phone and dropped them into the game. The mo

Trello can have checkboxes on the cards (like for subtasks), but in the overview it summarizes them like "2/5 checked". It would be nice if it listed the whole checklist at least for short lists.

It's not so much different compilers, I don't remember the specifics, but at the time the impression I got was that each one had a very different standard library, so it would be hard to move from one to another. Maybe that's

This is literally what stopped me from learning D a few years ago. I started reading about it, got intrigued, did some tutorial-style stuff, decided to try it on a real project, and then realize that meant having to figure out which toolcha

I have struggled with this too. For me, the thing that helped was figuring out how to turn the "ship it" moment into a mechanical process -- a list of bugs and a ship date. You stop creating a beautiful thing, and just need to fix

Don't count on work to be meaningful. You might find it, you might not, but so much in the world of work is outside your control. You're more than your job, find meaning elsewhere: in making art, activism, politics, altruism, buil

A swipe up that starts past the edge of the screen is already a different gesture than a regular swipe. It works the same way as the current phone (swipe up from bottom brings up the "control center").
