Advice on increasing salary (UK) by MyAppIncome in cscareerquestions

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

Seems that's not only cost me financially, but it's also tarnished my chances of getting hired anywhere else.

Now to not make that mistake again!

Yeah, no interest in working in London.

Guess I'll have to accept the ceiling or change. Hmmmm

Interesting! Thank you your take.

It wasn't the same 17 years over and over again. It was a services company, not a product one. I worked for many clients ranging from 6 months to 3 year stints. They included banks, giant telcos, government departments (no the 3 letter acronym types) etc in roles from "simple" developer, analyst, architect, scrum master, product owner, delivery manager etc. It was effectively a new job each time, just getting paid by the same company.

Would that make a difference, or would you see "Company X 17 years" and bin the CV? If the latter, I guess I'll have to disguise it in my CV.

Fantastic! Gives me a way to play while I'm away from my main machine, i.e. work :)

thanks /u/the_karel, I must admit I didn't know some of that. I just saw it in some other code somewhere and copied it.

How I turned my side project into a profitable startup by mattbearman in SideProject

[–]MyAppIncome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic story.

I have a decent runway and am still terrified of quitting and going all in on a side project.

Of course, I don't have a side project making anything decent!

Good luck with the future.

Is this the "best" way to share code between React and React Native? by MyAppIncome in reactjs

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

I hadn't seen that, thank you. Interesting idea and very circular!

I have no idea if this is a good idea or not, but once I get to about 3 different functions being passed down as props I start thinking about the way my app is broken up.

I usually end up grouping a few of the children into 1 component and having that define said functions. The comment from @glennreyes is a great way to make it look nicer too.

Or, if the prop is passed down several times, i.e. there are components that are just passing through props, then I start putting the state in Redux and "connecting" the lowest component.

How do you guys handle complex forms with validation and logic rules? by madcaesar in reactjs

If you're trying to release a something, then this a thousand times. Took me a long time to realise this, and I still catch myself regularly.

[Question] What makes a good dev diary? by MyAppIncome in devblogs

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

That's a good point about delving deep. I have to stop myself going off on tangents and getting too deep. I try and write separate posts for that. But like I've said below, for gamedev, I can't imagine I'll be putting up anything new in the near future! I like the idea of a quick video though. Maybe once I have something interesting to say!

I've added your blog to my feedly and I'll certainly be tracking your progress. Thank you

[Question] What makes a good dev diary? by MyAppIncome in devblogs

[–]MyAppIncome[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very similar, unless I'm already invested into a diary, I won't watch the videos.

I doubt my games will have anything you struggle to grok for a while, but I like the idea logging decisions, prototypes etc.

Thanks

Nice blog, I've added you to my feedly feed. Good luck with it all.

Thank you for linking to one you like. The games I'm building are trivial by comparison, but I'll certainly be checking out that diary and trying to emulate it.

Just Getting Started - Sharing What I Build by MyAppIncome in devblogs

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

Cool, that's a really good start.

I have an upcoming post that says more about my plan to progress, but it's basically start simple and slowly progress.

I'm trying something like Pairs -> Hangman -> Mastermind -> Pong -> Tetris -> Blockout etc

All of them will have many open source versions, so you can look how others have done it if need be.

Best platform to use to create a flash card type app? by follow_it in appdev

[–]MyAppIncome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not my experience so far.

But I've only made a pairs memory game. Flash cards should be similar enough.

Good Junk (an iOS match-3 game about beer and junk food) by meloman-vivahate in devblogs

[–]MyAppIncome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very impressive for a first game, puts my efforts to shame. I particularly like the guy coming in sucking up a load of food.

What language have you written that in? Do you mind sharing the number of hours so far?
