"Consistently positive reviews from users" are not enough. Steam Link became obsolete, and the controller just didn't sell (despite being excellent IMO!) This could see a similar fate, or it could be the breakout hit made pos

It's interesting that the paper version doesn't include "Growing as a Mobile Engineer" - too much paper and/or logistical issue? Trying to decide which way to support you, congrats!

I’m not an EE and I think that’s an underrepresented group on HN, but... you are surely underpaid

Surprised nobody is discussing the part about how smart speakers were a big dumb flop. I felt insane watching all my friends and family members getting these, asking them why? They never had answers. It was kind of scary honestly, a true il

Appreciate the kind advice! Overall we are very fortunate and have a net income in the black, which is sadly rare for millennials. I’m only focusing on the negative in these posts.

Certainly not exclusively American but inequality here is bad and getting worse. To an extent it’s “just life” but it’s depressing when we make a lot of money and somehow can’t save much of it. Makes one appreciate how hard people who earn

100% relate to this and I have joked to my wife that I need an assistant. My wife is an essential worker whose job stayed in-person and got busier with COVID. I’m the software engineer sitting at home. Within a month I’ve had car problems,

Sounds like my employer's problem. ...but also because I'm a weird night owl and don't like my employer to see me slacking off all day then doing work at 1am.

Every morning I rebase my local changes from the previous day and push them at roughly the same time. I suggest everyone do the same! I might switch to doing it once a sprint :)

> Ultimately, as COVID wraps up and things go back to normal As someone who was “more cautious than most” this is disheartening to read. I know it isn’t the point of the post but this type of attitude is why we are in for huge pain no ma

Usually don’t come to HN for this type of comment but something about it in this context is just poetry.

That’s one of those things I’ve pondered but don’t think I’ve seen it discussed by the two you mention, both of whom I respect deeply- got any good links?

If you haven't bought the VR kit, they added a full 3D editor on top of the engine from the first few releases, which allows you to create VR or non-VR games. It's absolutely incredible and was sadly overlooked. I've been hop

Not sure if the 1/3 is correct or not but consider this- that's the rise for April. Even people who live paycheck to paycheck can often find a way to scrounge together that money if they just lost their job. I'd say reserve j

Sorry to detract when I'm lucky and have not been laid off but I feel it's relevant. I just started a new gig a month ago. I feel it is stable and was a good move, but who knows in these uncharted waters. My wife is 12 weeks pregn

It’s always best to work on something you’ll actually use. Maybe think about an app you already use but want to improve or simplify (a to-do list without the frills for instance). As far as learning, I think this Stanford course is the best

It depends somewhat on why you ask. A lot of people are recommending using cross platform solutions. As a hobby or learning exercise, go for it! As someone who has a career across many projects working full time as a native iOS and Android
