code that looks like the problem being solved is beautiful because anyone can understand it and its easy to maintain.

Layers of abstraction for abstractions sake are the devil.

bound to be places where you can do all 3.

you should never have free time. Always ask for more work if your done. First be sure you are super done and all the cuffs are ironed out. Sometimes its a good idea to let your boss know when your nearly done so he can prepare good work for you to do.

if they are disorganized enough so that they can't give you any work you want to be doing something which will make you better at your tasks. What is your process like? Is there anything you could do that would make life easier for you or your colleagues?

sounds worse than piracy!

in the UK you dont get much for returning games and the preowned section generally isnt much cheaper. Exactly how many sales are they loosing?


To be fair, if the game is worth returning then it wasnt worth $50 to begin with so it kind of balances out.

And once you have a degree and have had a job or two, I think experience overshadows the degree

Man it's easier for you to say that when you already have a degree. I am currently going back for a bachelors in comp sci but I had an associates + work examples and still got turned down for jobs that required bachelors degrees. So I know you are full of crap. Convo's probably went like this:

HR: Sir you are not qualified.
Me: Maam, believe me I KNOW this field. I live it and breate it.
HR: Sorry sir, you need a bachelors for this position.
Me: blah blah - check out this work - blah blah - comparable to any bachelors candidate you will find -blah blah
HR: Sir, I need to end this call

get talking to recruiters with the inside ear. Recruiters tend to have some technical knowledge so they can get the right people.
starting blogging about stuff you know

super inteliigent mathmatician he may be but i wouldnt ask him to work with a team of web developers. His code is a total mess. EPIC wrote clean modular slower maintainable code.

if he didn't spearhead his own company with his enthusiasm he would have been that guy who just hacks shit together which nobody else can understand. 6 months down the line the code breaks because carmack got another job.

he is still awesome though.

i also think this is not funny but at least hes confident and doesnt pause looking like a tool.
the material is really bad.

who gives a crap what one subjective reviewer thinks?

he doesnt break the gameplay down or give any real reason as to WHY it sucks. He just says "I dont like it" many times in different ways. Perhaps hes just a miserable sod. Could be that being negetive gets him more hits ffs.

remember you dont have to be a christian to beleive in god.
