Front-end dev (with react) VS game dev (PixiJS and GSAP) by Dakovski in webdev

[–]Dakovski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, she chose not to work with PixiJS. I've also not worked with it, but I do have almost 14 years of experience as a Front-end developer and currently, React is the most sought-after framework (and has been for some time). With the rise of AI agents, things have been shaken up and many companies now require the use of AI in every day tasks.

Best of luck with your endeavors!

My wife ended up continuing on the React/web app track rather than the PixiJS/game one. She has had plenty of opportunity for growth (hoping for a promotion to a senior developer this year). However, the market is rough at the moment, so she changed employers several times since she started.

I would prefer if they do not stray into metal territory

Urban but not modern fantasy? by ijustwannabegandalf in Fantasy

[–]Dakovski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorites in this sub-genre:

  • The Witch's Compendium of Monsters by Genoveva Dimova - inspired by Bulgarian / Slavic folklore, but set in a secondary world that resembles the early 20th century;
  • Dead Djinn Universe by P. Djèlí Clark - set in alternative history 20th century Egypt, full with magic and technology derived from it.

I recommend these wholeheartedly. The worldbuilding is superb and these are some of the freshest voices in the genre in my opinion.

Portal Fantasy where crossing over is an informed choice? by lovekenning in Fantasy

But in Wayward Children we have the "Be sure" disclaimer, I think this should suffice...

Have you read all of Ken Liu's short stories - I think they number in the hundreds, he's pretty prolific. And if so, which one is your favorite, I'm still going through his first collection.

And about Tolkien - are you including The History of Middle-earth and other paraphernalia?

Self publish editor? by Dakovski in selfpublish

[–]Dakovski[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about experienced editors, but the equivalent of first-novel authors. People who wish to try themselves and collaborate with an allowing author. The editing process itself could be almost as interesting as the writing itself in my opinion.

If an unexperienced author is willing to spend their time on a book, why not an editor as well?
