@societyguidebk Hvorfor støtte en mands Swasticar-projekt der oven i købet har tabt det selvkørende projekt til Waymo? FSD er bygget på løgn & marketing - i den sådan en grad at det nu slet ikke hedder FSD

Life highlight might be Jon Stewart calling my book “jaw dropping” and “phenomenal.”

Massive thanks to everyone @TheDailyShow. Totally surreal to be there.

Book is on sale now.

@MongoDB we've been billed twice for the same period, you then basically gave up trying to solve it and finally stopped responding to our support requests. Hoping the problem will go away by ignoring it?

Back in 2001, the gaming world was virtually on par with the music and film sectors.

Today, it's more than five times the size of Hollywood.

Having worked on Fortnite, many of you ask me: what can I take away from the gaming industry?

It's clear there's something magical happening in the gaming world that's not just about joystick skills.

There are three main categories of takeaways:

1. How to Implement Gaming Social Mechanics

• Integrate community features like squads or guilds
• Make multiplayer more fun than single player
• Put creation tools in user’s hands

2. How Gaming “Gamifies” Progression

• Embed competitive elements into the core
• Provide multi-modal tools for interaction
• Adapt challenge levels to users

3. Gaming Monetization Mechanics

• Introduce elements of chance to purchasing
• Play on the human collection need
• Don’t distort fairness

In this week’s piece, I go through 15 of the top games to illustrate these principles:

• League of Legends
• Super Smash Bros
• World of Warcraft
• Final Fantasy XIV
• Animal Crossing
• Mobile Legends
• Genshin Impact
• Candy Crush
• Clash Royale
• Hearthstone
• Call of Duty
• Among Us
• Minecraft
• Fortnite
• Roblox

It’s a fun reminder of the “magic” behind these games for gamers, and a great “tour” of the world of gaming for non-gamers.

The gaming principles for growth don’t have to be a black box.

It’s only fair to look at this trend in context with other car price changes. Curious enough, Tesla is doing the worst, by a lot, amongst all car manufacturers. Interesting to consider why this is: the drop started before Musk bought Twitter.

The data engineering world is the biggest blind spot of traditional web developers.

Apps with a client-server-data paradigm will beat just client-server. In 10 years you won’t be “full stack” without a data pipeline.

Kudos to @ossia and team for figuring this out wayy before me
