I still remember how quickly this spread and people made their own versions, right about the same time as Twitch Plays Pokemon came out! I'm glad it's had such a positive impact both globally among your players and to your career. Praise helix!

One of my finals during my masters degree required us to implement a 2048 engine using OCaml. I had a bit of practice with OCaml but this specific exercise really made something click in me. It made me understand how to leverage a type system to represent a state, and make impossible states impossible to represent. I don’t use OCaml anymore but this exercise has definitely made me a better developer. That’s in part thanks to OCaml, and in part thanks to 2048 so thank you for inventing the game :)

Then don’t use it. People who keen on whining about this clearly don’t know anything about building a business.

That you thought this was a post worth making, I'm embarrassed for you.

This corroborate well with my memory of 2048 being absolutely all over HN for a while, heh. It was so fun with all the variants popping up, really a cultural phenomenon for a while. But also made me think: what other "fads" have we seen? Some that come to mind is a wave of "{x}, a {y} written in rust", or more recently the wave of things being thin wrappers/prompts on top of some llm/transformer. Was also a time it f…

We've gotten a lot more aggressive (er, proactive) about downweighting follow-ups in the succeeding years: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

Makes me think we could maybe ease up on that when it comes to ongoing work.

Fun game. I played for the first time and got a score of 3048, with my largest tile being 256 and no powerups used. Not sure if that's a good score or not.

My one observation is that it didn't feel intellectually engaging until the board was fairly full. Until I got to ~2500 or so, I was just making random-ish moves that felt like they didn't matter much. So it took say 15min before I got to the "good part."

It would be nice if the game could be modified in some way to get to the sweet spot earlier. Maybe starting from a mostly-full "puzzle" board, with varying levels of difficulty.

Or if the early moves actually DO matter more - and my beginner brain just didn't realize it - maybe there's a way to explain that connection to newer players so that they engage their brain earlier on.

Almost feels a bit like chess opening moves, which to a beginner might not feel very impactful, but to an experienced player they can see the connection from that one early pawn move to something meaningful later on in the game.

Many have the "legitimate interest" checkbox selected. Does anyone know what does it mean in practice in this case? I roughly understand the general idea behind legitimate interest but I wouldn't know how it would apply here.

You could heed your own advice and just not use the site, yet you're keen to stay and whine. Curious!
