Anyone know of similar services for people recovering from addictions? Has a lot of similarity with accountability - wanting other people to be notified when certain indicators are present.
Article writer here - thanks for the comments. I think the key for VR is that it will be awesome for specific domains (e.g. game development) but won't show much benefit to general programming.
Once VR has become more commonplace then I see it integrating more and more into programming as it becomes useful in other scenarios.
Which do I want more? That is a good question, will have to ponder that. I see value in both at this point. I see what you're saying about stress though, startups and a PhD are both very stressful, which is why I'm trying to use this time to research stuff for my future startup.
Thanks for the advice!
I have faced many non-technical clients in past and trust me it's not easy. The best thing I could do is to double (sometimes triple) the original estimated timelines.
Make separate milestones for QA and UAT rounds.
Breaking the project in very small but presentable milestones helps in keeping non-technical clients updated and happy.
Still working on that. It should be complete before the printed/ebook is available in January.
FWIW, the code for the visualizations (but not the libraries) is neither minified nor concatenated, so you can access it directly from a web inspector.
> Java in Play is definitely a second class citizen compared to Scala
Much agreed. I started a side project with a quick deadline with Java in Play and switched to Scala (even though I had to learn Scala) just because they played better together.
