   I agree with this as well. Nintendo seems like a developer hostile company. And iOS developers complain about provisioning profiles and Apple Review. At least we have awesome documentation and Xcode keeps getting better.

   I love reading about tech in games trivia! My favourite is still the article about Star Craft 2 and pathfinding.

   Thanks! Also, I might have stolen your description as it is far better than mine :) "better interoperability between 32 and 64-bit numerical types"

   Yeah, it bothered me a lot, especially when toggling between architectures and noticing all those errors when It Should Just Work. At least the only casting you need to do is when doing myDouble = myPoint.x // This works on 64 bit

   I got one on the 18th as well. Spooky. Scared and happy at the same time.

   I agree with you. No need for these types of fake jobs.

    Holy shit, the UI is really impressive. Genuinely impressed with your front-end engineering! It was insanely fluid, I kept thinking how much better it is compared to most native iOS/Mac OS applications.

    I wrote this three years ago. It helped for a while, but these days I'd probably just do it in postgresql and try to use the native arrays as much as possible. https://github.com/seivan/redis-friendships https:&#

    Nets operates in Singapore as well. I kept using them instead of regular debit cards there. Is the same company?

    Not only a dead end job but also 60-70 hour work weeks and having to deal with a management that's unable to comprehend what you do. Toxic culture as well.

    "There are no sales/MBA types, no scrum masters, and we strongly disapprove of code written in Enterprise FizzBuzz style." That sounds swell, but... How about concept/idea/UX-goons like this guy http://va

    Everytime I see “No coding required.” I laugh hard and then proceed to prototype with code on a real device, using the native framework.

    Another person without domain knowledge nor technical skillset to write the software needed. Maybe the person in question does sales. But nothing warrants death marches.
