did user engagement drop significantly in programming forums?
  • Communities moving to 'chat' based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I've observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

  • Blizzard's earnings are gonna be insane
  • And that's really sad. The expansions added new content and areas which was great but also made the world so big that it feels empty. I think server phasing also had something to do with that, but with the dwindling player base compared to peek times, even the major cities in the expansions feel more empty than ever.

  • How to successfully transition out of IT at age 40+?
  • I'm curious about this, because I have always found every niche I thought I had occupied already, and the idea of trying to start up and beat someone else out felt like a lot difficult proposition for a solo developer without marketing budget or experience.

  • California governor vetoes bill requiring speeding alerts in new cars
  • Folks drive at what they feel is a safe speed for themselves. The posted speed limit doesn't really seem to impact much, when the road is wide, the lanes are big, and there aren't many turns or traffic calming elements, people will go fast because others are going fast.

    That's been my lived experience, and generally is supported by research that its road design more than anything that dictates speed.

  • Our Android App is Frozen in Carbonite
  • I don't understand why there aren't more progressive web apps to combat this. Maybe the google drive integration would still be a problem, but you can avoid app store shenanigans by deploying directly to your users.

  • Stack Overflow Survey: 80% of developers are unhappy
  • Why is that? I've read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They're out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.
