That's just so sad to read. Yes, I'm aware there are alternatives to respecting users. You use apps that dgaf every day. I'm saying it's important to care, not just for yourself and your career and market share, but beca

Fun fact: there's a patent on loading mini games that has prevented such developments. I think it's owned by Namco, you can see it in Ridge Racer

I'd argue it's the most important goal of all consumer software. It needs to be respectful of the player. To do that you need to really, actually care about where they are in their lives and what you can do to meet them. We had an

Would derail the thread pretty hard and I'm not sure even which one to pick. But my favorite memory was walking the streets of Seoul and getting in a little street market. There was this kid who was the son of the shop owner, playing o

Disclaimer: I was a PM on Angry Birds. This is such a great demo. The original used Box2D,LUA scripting, and of course you had to make enemies and levels. There's obviously no expectation that you'd make a hit game from the tech i

As the other person said, it's been 9 months since the m2. You don't need to defend Apple here. They'll be fine. It's OK to question this.

This release cadence seems too much. I don't have insights on why, but I'd be shocked if there's this much demand. Even a 2018 Mac works fine for most work information work.

Looks interesting. The android app might work better than Wallabag. Might make the switch.

I went to a talk by John Cleese, of Monty Python. He made a point about a recent thought that he landed through meditation. He said he believes less and less that consciousness is in the brain. Maybe it's something external, shared, an

I'm a Xennial (it's a thing). I think Gen X has had had many once in a lifetime events. AIDS, 9/11, pandemic, world collapse of the economy, and housing. I'm sure I forgot a few but who cares. This generation and the nex

I've played the beta for about 30hrs. I'm really enjoying it. The new grenades work so much better. Smokes can give you a small peek, flash grenades feel more fair, molotovs have the right mix of cluttering the view and preventing

I always get so confused by the naming between Matrix and Element. I get that Element is the client, but I honestly thought that the name Matrix for the server (or is it just the standard for the protocol?) was sunset. Great service though

The financial model underpinning the music industry is likely to be strained to the point of breaking in the not too distant future. Music royalties are a zero sum game, that the business model they have become reliant on is deep in stagnat

This is probably a victim of DHH posting about their Once business model. Literally everything is a subscription now. Video, music, games. Enterprise software. It's just like your pg&e. Consumers like it enough. This is just as fru

37Signals can't sell their standard subscription stuff to people that want to self host. Introducing: lots of hype for a docker business model.

Honestly, it's fair game. I don't expect every studio to have the source code handy and someone who knows how to build and modify the game anymore. If the crack does the job, I can empathize. Inversely, it's not like the crac

Over the past ten years, I've made sure our team's rely on scum and agile less and less. We still have a minimal board, and standups, but that's it. No extra meetings. No definition of done. No stories. We just talk when need

I just wrote a blog post about how creators / devs can learn from the creator of the Game Boy. I think it's interesting that his philosophy goes directly against conventions. Would love to hear what people think of his approach.

Yeah I hate my manager for complicated UIs, slow load times, complicated queries, lots of ways the setup can fail, and generally making everything into a complex platform rather than just putting tickets in a column. Totally not a product d

It depends. There aren't many multi-player games that weren't designed to be exports that get any traction these days. The first few (Quake, Starcraft, CS1.6) were definitely more organically designed, but it's also more a pr

If you've played SC competitively, it's pretty obvious the game wasn't initially designed for esports. Initially. The Zerg build tree is dependent on you mastering things like: "start building, reducing your population c
