Software Architect turned Engineering Manager
+1 for Halls of Torment
It’s a really solid entry in the rogue-lite vampire-survivors-like genre that Diablo enjoyers could pick up really easily
What are you going to do with the other 900mb?
That’s how you get the vibrant greens.
Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.
I don’t think that’s something Gabe is interested in, but we’re talking about what will happen when he dies.
Never say never, but I don’t think it’s going to happen while Gabe is in charge
He did at one point. I think he’s said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.
It’s really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.
I use a planck as my daily driver. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have some good reasons to switch.
It took about 2 weeks of use and practice before I could type at a reasonable rate with it. And then it took about 2 weeks before I could type on a normal keyboard again.
I had a few reasons why I got one
I do think it’s pretty cool. It’s a conversation starter when people walk by my desk. The planck is a 40%, so most people haven’t seen a keyboard that small.
Oh cool, I’ll have to switch. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I’d been using Firefox for years before that
My favorite project was C++; it was big, it was complicated, there was a massive team working on it, I got to work with high level abstractions while occasionally dealing with really low level concerns.
It was really hard, but now writing code in every other language I’ve worked in has been really easy.
When does something become mainstream? The Steam Deck has sold millions of units.
But guys, if we use agile then we don’t need requirements! We just make something and then the customers tell us if we are on the right track, we just get to iTeRaTe
With the power of AI
Here’s a TLDR of your text:
Haha, yeah, free. I totally haven’t spent hundreds of dollars on the game. It’s over a decade with thousands of hours though. I haven’t really played the last couple years though, but that’s mostly because I have small children and a career
Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you’ve done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.
I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn’t for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it’s not for you then it’s easier to leave.
Ultimately it’s networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.
Use it for tasks you tend to put off and don’t use it for tasks you tend to hyperfocus.
Right now I mostly use it for boring time-consuming chores, otherwise I don’t bother.
I will hyperfocus when I am coding at work, so I never use it then
