Working on a major new project right now in C++. In our case, it’s a high performance 2D GPU accelerated drawing application - C++ and many of its battle hardened/established libs …

Doesn't Sketch have smart layout in symbols? And they released multiplayer coediting last year.

You've been able to play Sketch prototypes on the web for a few years already, also they just released a new iPhone app that lets you preview prototypes and docs. Their iOS Mirror …

That seems like a naive assessment of an education model that is failing across multiple dimensions of analysis. It saddles many students with crippling debt. It monopolises some o…

It's not clear from your comment, but I'm assuming you deem the term "illegal strike" oxymoronic. It isn't.
