I love this. Recreating old games makes you really appreciate the techniques and effort put into even the small things that one often takes for granted. Doing it yourself is a great way to learn real-world applications of abstract math&#x2F

From both sides as a hiring manager and candidate, I’ve found that a take-home coding challenge that’s tailored to the company is a far better indicator of fit. With a tailored take-home, the company has a chance to evaluate candidates base

The squash is only performed when merging the pull request (via GitHub’s merge button on the pull request). The actual work is done and reviewed as individual commits. The nice part of this workflow is that the changes are all squashed into

I personally prefer merging via squash since it keeps a linear commit history without polluting the history with tons of intermediate work-in-progress commits. A linear history is helpful when debugging since it makes git bisect a lot easie

I used to live in Surfside, which is right next door to the Bal Harbour Shops. Hard to tell from photos, but the mall is TINY. Also, the foot traffic is really light. Most people seem to hang out at the few cafés or restaurants. But I suppo

If it’s using Chrome headless, it’s superior to wkhtmltopdf. The latter has lots of little gotchas and things that may render fine in a browser but not in wkhtmltopdf. Chrome headless doesn’t suffer from those issues, obviously.
