I don't think that's the issue. The issue is that the founders were pushed out. Lane indicates that business tanked ever since they left, which is what presumably led to a fire sal…

I can speak in 4 languages and just about manage to converse in a fifth. There are definitely advantages to knowing more languages than one: 1. People love you if you can speak the…

Wow, 78% from Steam! Does anyone know if there is enough demand for educational games on Steam? Worth porting from mobile?

Wow. This is just insane. I was a bit confused initially as to how a mechanical problem can be solved by a software update, but then someone explained in one of the comments that i…

I think the title could have been rephrased. It's definitely a good idea to build some financial sense from young age, helping kids figure out how budgeting works, where the money …

12000 defects fixed?! OMG! One Herculean effort this must have been.

I think everyone underestimates how much the slack team's game-dev experience with Glitch (even a failed one) would have impacted Slack's success. There are tons of things that mak…
