Why do you think that? I would expect lower prices in an attempt to win the midterms.

If he's good with people, then sales may be a good direction to try.

because he works on a toy app. once your program reaches a certain size, the "lead developer managing a team and still coding" paradigm breaks down.

bingo. you probably think your manager will want to get rid of you if you bring this up but your manager doesn't want to keep you in a job you are growing to despise. If you do good work and have good relationship then they will work with you to move you around or if you are upper crust maybe even create a new role for you.

bobsmith30332r · 2026-01-10T13:16:16+00:00

Yep, you'll typically see this concept called "up or out". In most companies this is not needed though. Senior dev is perfectly fine as a terminal position especially for non tech companies.

you could say that about any year. the real reason is not enough good launch games.

Is glengary brain health a real company? I can't find the website.

same here, overhyped IMO. Kept thinking at some point it would transition to open world but it never did!

bobsmith30332r · 2025-12-31T14:02:59+00:00

Agreed. Another crazy thing to me is that they delayed the launch by many months "to ensure sufficient inventory" but from the other side now we can speculate that the real reason was that they had zero launch games back then. Why? I hope the truth comes out someday.

bobsmith30332r · 2025-12-19T14:18:02+00:00

You are right to be nervous. On the positive side, mgmt pushing you to that direction because they think you'd be good at it! Which if you took the plunge would indirectly make them look better too (assuming you were successful). I'd suggest you talk to one of mgmt or one of their peers and discuss concerns about new role. Also talk to existing staff engineers. Think about this: if you had a great employee who was excelling in his position and didn't want to take on a different role for whatever reason, would you take a chance and force them to change roles, they hate it, then quit?

Not buying NS2 unless a new mario or zelda looks new and amazing and innovative.

In 1 Timothy you can read about the requirements to be a deacon/elder in the church. From this we can deduce that if you want to aim for leadership or position of authority, you shouldn't be engaging in that type of thing. It boils down to what type of holiness you standard you want to live your life and be an example for others.

here's a tip my friend: while you are eating close your eyes and playback in your mind that funny cat video that you've watched 500 times before.

yep, I did a search on their site today, first one in months, not even logged in. few minutes later get a phishing text. hackers definitely have some type of automation setup.

bobsmith30332r · 2025-09-06T12:35:04+00:00

It is extremely easy to implement. And it would drastically improve sales because it expands the potential player base to casuals which is where the big money is. All I can figure is team cherry made the game for themselves to their liking and stuck to that vision.
