I agree about that. I think a nice balance would be localized meetups to watch the conference or an after hours event where you can discuss the content of the talks over a pint or hitting a few golf balls or something.

Not everybody's company is going to pay for a license if they already are licensing Visual Studio for everyone. As an individual, I only have a little bit of time to tinker with personal projects, and while I like C#/.NET so far,

I've always thought that a Microsoft Linux distribution would be incredibly interesting. They could give the user experience a new round of polish without being weighed down by the years of legacy support, compatibility, and cruft on W

You could take your experience with web development and pivot into an adjacent role where the career prospects are better. If you like talking to people and would like to meet with others instead of writing code all day, you could look into

I’d much prefer Microsoft buying a studio right now than Sony. When Sony buys a studio, I’m required to buy a $500 box and pay $70 to play future games from them. Microsoft lets me play it on PC or stream it for $10 or $15 a month. The low

Why don't the boards of these companies hold the CEOs and management teams responsible for overhiring and not having the right ways to track productivity and route resources accordingly? This is essentially Pichai and Zuckerberg admitt

Training up new/junior staff is the one area where I do think having some in-person collaboration is immensely valuable. But you can do this in bursts with certain team members and not have to require everyone to be in-person.

Sounds like the author is writing this article based on his own ineffectiveness at working remotely. It's true that video calls can be more draining than an in-person meeting - if you have nothing but meetings on your calendar all day.

This is an interesting view on it that I hadn't previously considered. But you're right - whereas before a lot of members of the family would prepare food separately and bring it, now there is a lot of use of catering/prepare

One thing I have noticed now, and I'm not sure if its a function of myself and my family being older, is that we feel much less compelled to get together for holidays and other events even though the travel time has remained mostly the

I think it is a particularly hard character to build a game around. Danger/conflict for Superman boils down to a binary question - is kryptonite present or not? I think a later Superman game (for the XBox or XBox 360 generation, I beli

As a kid during the N64 years, my dad was excited to rent this game from Blockbuster for us to try. We both recoiled in horror after a few minutes when it became evident it was a disaster.

I remember the introduction of the News Feed and how creepy and invasive it felt at the time. Here’s all the interactions you previously had to look for explicitly, now pushed in front of you. It was a harbinger of things to come.

One of the best interview questions I ever had started with the interviewer asking me a fairly routine technical question, to which I gave a standard and acceptable answer. He then said, "Okay but what if I took away your ability to do

I really enjoyed this read. The author printing out his source code so he could have a physical artifact signifying the end of the journey for that game really resonated with me for some reason.

I feel what is always left out of these discussions is that my “office” time before the pandemic was already spent collaborating with people in other locations over Teams/Zoom/Slack. I was just wasting an hour at the beginning and

It would be for an internal environment, so weekends would be hopefully quiet. The incident log going back a month or two showed incidents mainly in the EU and US workdays, around 5 AM Eastern to 7 PM Eastern.

Two things from this article stick out to me: 1) The author was paying for both Bear and Craft. To me, they serve the same purpose - Markdown notes editors with a sync component. I tried both out (and liked both) but have since settled on O

My understanding from the initial acquisition news cycle is that Sony acquired Bungie in order to teach the rest of their studios how to make effectively monetized live service games as they are gearing up to make that a key part of their p

I think there is something to this - as a junior you can learn a lot through osmosis just by being around seniors and more experienced people. This doesn't just apply to software or tech - I have a friend that works for a bank that say
