I love reading these kinds of posts. Whenever I’m reminded that I’m not alone, I get a little bit more self-compassion and that makes me more excited to release my game and helps me appreciate all the progress and hard work to date. I’ve be

Dang, that's annoying, sorry about that! And thanks for checking it out so thoroughly. I queued this up and my friend or I will get to it soon. Really appreciate the QA :D If you want a heads up when it's fixed you can email me at

I think you should probably do that -- niche job boards seem to do well, (or, at least, I've convinced myself that that is the case). I should also mention you can do this with the developer job matching tool my friend and I are making

Hopefully the fact that we're not doing this for our developer job matching site is not its death knell. We're building up developer preferences first, and then we can ask employers to create job descriptions and potentially match

Thanks for giving it a go! I’ll check sentry, etc. to see if there’s anything obvious. On the off chance you see this reply: what browser/device were you using? I also see that step 4 is the first multiple choice question, so it doesn’

I don't see part-time dev work advertised as often as it is available. I've been working part-time for a few years, and the way I've found jobs is one of: - convert a full-time job to part-time - work with a fractional placem

I have this problem too. I made https://polyfill.work to try to solve it (I enter my preferences and get notified when there’s a matching job.) It’s still a work in progress though. Something I’ve found that works quite well is

I have this problem. As a result, a friend and I made a developer job search and recruiting tool that requires employers to state how much they pay. It will actively filter out developers who won’t accept less than what you’re offering. De

For my game, King of Kalimpong, I run physics on the client and the server. The server is the boss but the client feels good. I suspect most games where movement is primarily physics-based are doing this, but who knows, netcode tends to be
