I thought I had replied to this, but I forgot to do so. I wish you the best of luck with your game!

> They mention React.

For full transparency, I'm the one who wrote the article :)

I wasn't even thinking about 2FA when writing this, but that does raise a big accessibility issue for people who may struggle to use or wish to avoid smartphones. As someone observing the dumbphone trend with keen interest, it's a shame that US carriers are making it harder to stay with the older phones, since 2G and 3G connections are going away over time

A blog post about how the complexity of software development tooling is spiraling out of control. Enjoy! :D
The new generation has largely switched to exclusively using thier phones. I figure this will have some pretty negative consequences for computing, but was also inevitable given the state of things
Only the software industry can create gatling footguns like this :)

I also wish I would have studied classical CS in college. However, I was sick most of the time, and there were half a dozen weed-out classes, so the computer science courses I did take were non-major courses to supplement a GIS degree.

GIS is certainly interesting in its own ways, and it taught me some visualization and design skills, but I wish it would have been possible for me to learn more of what's going on under the hood of the massive libraries and high-level languages I use every day as a professional "software engineer"

Sounds like they're being overly reliant on the tool. I know work life at Google is probably fairly intense and stressful, but this seems pretty odd

I hear there's chemicals in tea which balance out the caffeine, and make it less of a shock to the system. My go-to (heh) is Earl Grey, though I usually drink coffee

How much is a low dose? I hear that less than 400mg is safe to consume, though I consume approx 300mg a day myself. Currently trying to reduce that
