What risk did he take, gimme a fucking break. Worst possible outcome for him was he has to settle for a $400k job at a FAANG after his startup fails. Boo fuckin hoo Of course he did enough to deserve some fuck you money, but hundreds of mil

Why would you ever run a company at this stage so close to the edge that a 10% reduction in payroll makes a meaningful difference to your bottom line even after adjusting for the immense morale and PR hit? Seems so wildly irresponsible. Did

Startups should hire the kind of people who are experts at both C++ and Javascript, then ask them to choose the right tools and languages for the task at hand. Which I am sure may end up sometimes including Rust.

It's really a testament to how soul crushingly boring working in non-games tech is that people keep eagerly volunteering to be abused exploited and disrespected like this (at not even one of the very best game companies, just a mid-hig

Heh, yes, def agree, although I think that a person who is genuinely oblivious or indifferent to all this will also prob end up using VSCode just cos it's free and has the highest brand awareness

Atom has been dead for years, this is just the state funeral. The situation now is: * Sublime for the Williamsburg corpo-hipsters * emacs and vim for the wizards and furries * VSCode for all the normies who just want to get on with doing th

It's funny to see some rando taking this patronizing tone to give game design advice to DAN COOK, a man who could design a twee trifle like A Short Hike in his sleep if it wasn't too far beneath him to bother

Ok, so some guy in Croatia now knows the root, so what? How does that help them? They can't access the other suffixes without physical access to my home computer. Not to mention they have no idea which part is the root and which part i

I have a password strategy I like, and I'm gonna share it because you might like it too. * Create a master password root. Do not write it down anywhere - memorize it * For every account that requires a password, add a unique suffix to

Zachtronics games don't emulate the horror of the ACTUAL programming experience. They distill away a ton of the most tedious, frustrating aspects (and the just-less-relevant-to-most-programmers'-interests ones, like UI design) and

It's not great, but how bad it is depends heavily on how they're compensating the people they did this to. Like, if everyone affected gets an immediate lump sum payment equivalent to say 4-6 months salary, it would be really not s

The only reason companies like Telegram care about customer privacy is because that's how they sell their product and make money. They'll happily snitch on any of their users if doing so is more big-picture profitable than not sni
