I don't remember specifics, but Mumble has more configuration, it was hard to make it work, worse UX an in the end the audio quality was also worse.

+1 it's all about the UX. It's just an incremental improvement against any competitor of the times (infinite logs, efficient search, multi-server, easy bots, audio chat rooms that work better...). It's pretty clear Discord ha

Solo founder for 5+ years. The above message is right on point. One things that I realized is that what happens to your business tells more about what _market_ you are in, that it tells about yourself as a founder. A great entrepreneur in a

MOAI does seem very cool. I like Godot for 2D but having used it for 3D I'm a bit weary with bugs there.

Actually one of the origins of bitoduc.fr was reading a self-satisfying text about how genious the word "ordinateur" was, and how thankful we french should be that the term was invented. That word comes from "ordiner", s

Not old versions of Visual Studio.

As a Visual Studio user, I can't get into VS Code. For once, the interface moves constantly. Things resize at all times. It feels sluggish, however Visual Studio is becoming also worse so in the end VS Code end up feeling quicker... VS

I made a few libraries while I was employed. After, built a company and made money with closed-source products. I'm still doing open-source libraries. Open source never made me any single dollar. A nice thing is the one library that su

It's often because these functions have unnamed types. Chain of lazy computations in D often return unnamed types (so called "Voldemort" types) because finding good names for those inner structs is a challenge, they have a si
