I've been a software developer working on video games for 20 years and as simple things become easy we find more difficult things to do. When game machines solved the problem of moving lots of 2d sprites around we wanted to make 3D gam

I was recently at a small development studio that closed down. We used slack to communicate and liked it. I set up an alumni team and the whole team joined up to keep in touch and it's still active months later. Is anyone going to argu

Doesn't seem that crazy to me. One site I looked at sells 300 capsules for $15 and the whole page is littered with clear warnings about overdose. The lethal dose of caffeine seems to be around 5 to 10 grams so you'd have to eat 25

Everyone has room for a little entertainment in their life. I don't think it's healthy or even possible to do productive creative work during all your waking hours. Besides, gaming offers a way to escape from reality, which for so

the article doesn't mention that you have to confirm your email is valid by clicking a link before you get registered so incriminating strangers this way should be impossible. I presume he validated the email himself

Even when using Unity and Unreal the ramp up time is still significant since we all use different source control, bug tracking and project management software. We also build large complicated systems on top of the game engine which come wit

A nice piece of writing. Personally I hate feeling obliged to talk to bus drivers and taxi drivers but when a conversation happens it is often rewarding. That said, whilst the tech industry is certainly booming, the average tech worker is n
