Sweet! I didn't know you created those, I used the MCDM vampires in my Curse of Strahd game and loved them. I also used your earlier varieties of vampires like the Bonded Vampire. You've made some really distinctive, fun monsters! Thank you.
That looks so cool! From a distance it appears to just be the natural shape of the wood, I like the delight and surprise as you get close enough to see the details. So unique.
- What's the on-call process like?
- How much time off on average do developers actually take?
- What is the testing and QA process?
- How do you measure success of a project?
- When and how do you evaluate employee performance?
I want to make sure my work-life balance isn't going to be awful, and hearing that they have Unlimited Vacation doesn't tell me how much vacation people actually take. I also want to know that the place isn't just doing what a manager thinks "feels right" but actually measures and has standard processes for making decisions.
Another question I usually ask that may be relevant for many of you: what proportion of your developers are women? And: are there any women in tech leadership roles?
Personally, with that one, I'm mostly just looking for a normal response and that it isn't zero. I don't want to be the only woman around.
Sold Out!
I've been going to Switch n' Play shows for a while now and they're always great. This show looks really cool and I wanted to post about it, it's a great way to see some incredible performers. Seems like it'll be a lot of references to John Waters too!
If you're in NYC come out tonight for a good show. I'll share pics here after though!
Yeah, I agree - assuming most of the roots are still in the bark/moss, it's fine. In the wild they hang off trees, they've got it covered.
Darmok is probably my favorite but this list is perfect
Yeah, I don't buy that humanity has drastically changed all of a sudden. It's the circumstances that are different and we're all paying the price.
I highly recommend the book First Among Equals. It's specifically about running a team of developers and managing them well. I found it full of good ideas and it's specific to tech as well, it's not just general management advice.
