Change the reality of any piece by diving into it and playing a game to win it

I found the spirit of article a bit narrow-minded for all the reasons mentioned here already. It did however make me think of an almost opposite activity for the next time I interv…

This is grossly misleading. What I'd love to see is a chart that shows tax-paid-per-dollar-earned. I know it won't tell the whole story, but it'll tell a straight story.

Yes, as in any field I'm sure there are scammers out there, or even just poorly conceived programs. So maybe what we need is a review site for these academies.

The author neglects to mention the wonderful feeling of having your code successfully compile and come to life. For some it is a special kind of high that makes all the 'constructi…

Prototyping tools seem to be blooming this year (see pencilcase.io and pixate.com), and it'll be great to see them mature over the next few years.

Great little resource for building your first game. That said, the term 'Mechanic' in game design has multiple meanings. My favorite is in context of Dynamics and Aesthetics, as ex…

Right, to my taste it's a better game (though very differently tuned beyond the puck-through-a-gap idea). More than anything I was trying to respond to the parent's question about …

Finally. Someone at Apple must be a Bukowski fan. I'm reminded of his poem "16 Bit Intel 8088 Chip" (not his greatest, but suitable): http://bukowskiforum.com/threads/16-bit-intel-…

Why is it important that the founder is from Goldman Sachs? I'm especially curious because GS is mentioned in the title of the post, which suggests it must be important to the post…

[edit: retracted as per parent request]

I've just posted a couple of projects and love the way it looks. As for the live-demo part, I haven't uploaded the apps yet, wondering if you'll be streaming audio, as my apps are …

I worry that these kind of articles are not just annoying. They can cause real damage. // A Dramatization // Consider a young developer that knows a bit of PHP and wants to get sta…

You're judging to quickly. Take a step back and reconsider. The point is in the use-case, not the mechanics. He is allowing people to blog ad-hoc, using twitter as the glue to othe…

There's a lot of great advice here already. As a long-time freelancer, I'll try to add my tiny part: I'm always amazed the influence that personal projects have on which kind of wo…
