It's Nice To Have A Game That

The Escalation Programmers Come From A Completely Different Background, And The Codebase Is All Stl This, Boost That, Fill-up-the-property List, Dispatch The Event, And Delegate That. I Had Been Harboring Some Suspicions That Our Big Codebases Might Benefit From The Application Of Some More Of The Various “modern” C++ Design Patterns, Despite Seeing Other Large Game Codebases Suffer Under Them. I Have Since Recanted That Suspicion.

Honestly, I Spend Very Little Time Thinking About Past Events, And I Certainly Don't Have Them Ranked In Any Way. I Look Back And Think That I Have Done A Lot Of Good Work Over The Years, But I Am Much More Excited About What The Future Holds.

Focused, Hard Work Is The Real Key To Success. Keep Your Eyes On The Goal, And Just Keep Taking The Next Step Towards Completing It. If You Aren't Sure Which Way To Do Something, Do It Both Ways And See Which Works Better.

In The Information Age, The Barriers [to Entry Into Programming] Just Aren't There. The Barriers Are Self Imposed. If You Want To Set Off And Go Develop Some Grand New Thing, You Don't Need Millions Of Dollars Of Capitalization. You Need Enough Pizza And Diet Coke To Stick In Your Refrigerator, A Cheap Pc To Work On, And The Dedication To Go Through With It. We Slept On Floors. We Waded Across Rivers.

Note To Self: Pasty-skinned Programmers Ought Not Stand In The Mojave Desert For Multiple Hours.
