It kinda feels like unreal engine and unity are the new baseline "games" -- but not games -- and the games are mods on top of all that existing machinery?

Making a game used to mean writing an engine too and that just isn't true anymore it seems.

this is so cool. hats off to the creators. I bet it's a ton of logistics to manage. I surfed around the site but couldn't find any information re: volunteering with them? I wonder if they need them and what kind of commitment it would be? I'd be interested!

someone probably googled “kayak” from your wifi?

of course it matters. not all workflows are worth preserving at all costs. there could be a really important trade off lurking, I'm not familiar, which is why I asked!

why would you call it expecting it to do nothing?

I enjoyed reading the feedback, and their response, and felt no negativity whatsoever. Keep honestly interacting it's good for everyone!

Mostly I agree with you but sharing URL’s to resources is vastly better on the web. So is distributing updates.

How would we train it? Don't we need it to understand the heaps and heaps of data we already have "tokenized" e.g. the internet? Written words for humans? Genuinely curious how we could approach it differently?

"it seems many Rust and Golang positions go unfilled."

I was under the impression that everyone wanted a job writing Rust, but had to settle for making React components. Point me to these unfulfilled Go jobs please. :)

Desktop computers are amazing these days.

well said!

as I was just sitting down to another day of ruby on rails (that I am grateful for!) I was thinking.. I wonder what hobby/open source projects could use some of my attention later..

.. what projects my attention could use later .. :D

yeah I wonder how many of those 240 tons ARE the battery!

WA is one of the great states of our union. Not that cheap but no income taxes anyway :) Can't speak to NV but it sure seems hot and dry!

Weird to suggest that a veteran of the industry might not have seen "really bad code". I cannot imagine that's true.

thanks for a high quality top comment!

Great article. I felt like I was reading a guide on how to properly interact with the perfection monster in my own brain. Perhaps believing you're not smart and don't have talent leads to better work anyway! Clever. Great read.

Curious if they think they would be interested in a career of programming starting today?

There is so much good content on the internet that people put out because they just love it and don't expect any money for it. All of that won't change. Lots of the ad-ridden blogs and stuff will go away but I'll echo the sentiment found largely around these comments: good riddance.

Yeah this seems like more of a majestic monolith approach.

This is an amazing technical achievement and there is no world where it doesn't get banned.

Whatever hardware they use for near field comms between the phone and the TV maybe?

Hi!

I see "Senior iOS Engineer" in your list, but on your site there is only an application for the Staff level. I'd love to apply at the Senior level, any chance you could help me track that application form down? Much appreciated!

you’ve already overcome the first major hurdle, being aware of it! congrats. now it’s “just” time :)

if you can somehow find a way to make it fun and enjoy the process (knowing you’ll get a better result, quicker) then you’ll know you’ve won!

wonderfully written, thank you!

He sets up a load balancer in his demo video? Did you watch it?

TL;DR -- It's very domain specific if reliability is your number one feature.

For a startup that is hosting other people's production application/data then this is absolutely true. Less than 100% always needs to be addressed.

For a startup that is selling bingo cards then reliability probably isn't nearly as important. I'm guessing there were certain holidays that were more important than others as far as reliability goes though? Maybe patio11 can chime in :)

Ahhh, maybe those are conflated so irreversibly in their head it’s hard to imagine one without the other.

Seems ideal though, anonymous wealth :)

I think your insight isn't a bad one but -- The famous people I've interacted with would be pretty quick to agree with the downsides (they are painful and huge) .. but also very generous about admitting the upsides. Depending on the level of fame they can be enormous. The special access of famous people's lives is.. hard to understand if you don't have it (I don't have it, but I've witnessed and experienced the tiniest bits of it and holy shit). I don't think a single one of them would trade it / go back.
