This is terrible, I've been following Monty since before Haloid. I thought it was awesome when he joined roosterteeth to work on RvB. He was incredibly talented young man and certainly died way too early. I hope his family will be able

By far the people I've interacted with have not been clueless. They haven't been disillusioned to think that everything is perfect. Also if you think that they consider us as suckers for working for less, you might want to conside

Thats actually incorrect, while we don't set policy up on high, the results of our work and projects we initiate push policymakers to set those policies. JackFr is right, engineers inform and that holds a lot of weight beyond what you

Bad guys? What a myopic view of the world. Having seen first hand both industry and government IT, both worlds have their faults. I'm not going to get sucked into a debate about which is worse, but I'll give you my perspective on

We've been using Torch for a while at work, really appreciate Facebook doing this. Some of us had a hard time adjusting to Lua, but it was well worth it.
