I had no idea! Very cool. Thank you so much for this!

I don’t have a ton of value to add since the parent comment did a wonderful job of laying things out. I wanted to mention that I also perked up and paid closer attention when I saw that this was designed for solos and small teams. I’ll definitely be giving a try. Thank you for sharing!

Love Airmash. I started playing it again on Thanksgiving day after being away from it for over a year and it's been a blast!

It’s happened to me. I’m terrible at the whiteboard in these situations. I have a severe disdain for whiteboard sessions. I’m an experienced engineer, but I’m likely to fumble at the whiteboard.

When I’ve interviewed candidates I make it a point to talk about something they’ve worked on and drill down into it. If they need the whiteboard to convey something, that’s great. We’re having a conversation and I’m not giving them a test. I’ll ask about potential optimizations and/or improvements, but I try my best not to make things adversarial. This has worked out really well. The best conversations have resulted in great hires in my experience.

This was even more fun at a place like Sears or K-Mart where the sales folk were generally less technically savvy than Radio Shack.

Yes, that strategy works well. I've also found that "hitting the brakes and they'll fly right by" works really well in a knife fight.

I can't wait to try this out! The introduction video is incredibly compelling and it looks like an amazing product. Nice work!

A pro wrestling simulator in 2003. It's terrible. The code is absolutely horrible. There is a small community of folks that still play it.

I was two semesters away from finishing my degree. I quit. As a result I was unable to pursue the job that I had dreamed about as a child (joining the Navy as an officer and flying). I've also been turned down for opportunities, that I was qualified for, simply because I didn't have a degree. It took me years to gain the experience that overshadowed my lack of a degree and it was a long, painful, and difficult road. Please get your degree.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm building a game/simulation so I don't need a "native" UI. I've played with QML a bit and it's very nice to work with. I've also discovered that PyQt5 can be deployed to mobile so the combination of PyQt and QML might be the best of all worlds for me (I love Python).

Based on your reply it looks like LiveCode doesn't provide a productivity advantage over Qt/QML. What was a pain in the ass about LiveCode/RunRev?
