I incorporated right away so that I could write off big chunks of my day-to-day expenses. I write off a big chunk of my rent and most of my meals that I go out to eat.

Hmm, I don't like the stereotype. Most of my friends that are programmers are fairly fashion forward. I live in Vancouver, so maybe that is different from the valley. Some of my friends are the Yaletown game developer nerds. This probably

I incorporated right away. Mostly for tax purposes. I can write off 40% of my rent and a lot of my business meals. I also plan on contracting to extend my runway. It's best to be incorporated for that.

Yup. Agreed. Chris Hecker's talk, Structure vs. Style, was much better regarding this subject. His argument is that we don't have a Structure vs. Style decomposition for AI. We have it on the web => HTML(structure) and CSS(style). We

I was at GDC and saw this keynote. I'm not sure why it was a GDC keynote. The talk was barely even tangentially related to game development. The talk was similar to his TED talk but an hour long rather than 20 minutes. http://www.ted.com

I found jPod to be lifeless and depressing. Hmm, I live in Vancouver and work in the game industry. So, I didn't find it lifeless. And working for a big studio is kind of depressing. So, that's a feature not a bug. I agree that jPod wa
