I worked with F# for about 3 years and the sentiment of most F# developers after using it in anger, including myself, is "I don't want to go back to C#". In my opinion, it didn't win significant market share because…
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of…
I've found it to be rare in my experience as well. It seems our demographic tends to not believe in having children, ranging from the apathetic hedonist to strong antinatalist beliefs. Since I have a 9-month-old, I…
Very relatable what you wrote. I became a digital nomad in my mid 30s. It was great at first, but then it got to the point where I engineered too much freedom in my life. The result was indeed paralyzing. Suffered some…
I know it sounds cliche to recommend that you travel, but I want to offer my personal anecdote; Since I got serious into computers in 2011, I haven't really had a long layoff, at most a week or two away from my…
This project might fit that description https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp
I read this book. I second this recommendation. Really helped shift my mentality into something that has allowed me to be more productive.
Depending on how flexible your definition of "GUI client" is, you should give Magit on Emacs a shot. The interface is primarily keyboard driven, rather than mouse driven (some basic mouse interactivity can be enabled).…

What's this custom tiling VM? Do you have it up on GitHub?
I have personally found that whenever I pair with someone and I'm explaining to them my thought process as I'm programming, my productivity and focus goes through the roof. If my work were open source, I would just…
I was very surprised when I read the part about pair programming. Am I the only one who finds pair programming to be highly productive? I find that when someone is sitting next to me or watching me screen-cast and I'm…
"I get a little exhasperated whenever I hear people push for an increase to the federal minimum wage" Fixed. We should not be raising the federal MW and should instead prefer more localized measures, such as States,…
This. I get a little exhasperated wheneve I hear people push for a FEDERAL minimum wage. I'm not against wages being negotiated for the benefit of workers, but like you mentioned; wage hikes will not have the same…
In regards to in app purchases, yes I have a lot of experience with them. It will depend on the game design how well they do. There's also the difference between durables and consumables, which you can research when…
In all honesty, most options will probably be out of reach for someone with lack of experience. For-hire work is one; a lot of smaller studios will do 70% for-hire and 30% in-house projects, but it will take years to…
I'm the tech lead at a small mobile game studio, the best advice I can offer is pick a role and start developing your skills in this capacity. Main roles are tech, art, or business. If someone says design, don't listen…
