As a game developer I would be intrested in this. I would love to have my client and server code in the same language so I would not have to write things twice. Having said that, I'm not at all i…

Do you mind if people do the test with no interest in the job?

Thanks for going to the source for this one.

Hrm.. just reading on the net Revenues: $2.59 billion, Monthly active users: 1.23 billion. Just need about $2 per MAU which is not crazy at all.

Facebook should stop trying to sell advertising and just start selling premium services directly to users. Seriously, just ask for $10 a month from everybody, then build some genuinely good new featur…

So, nobody commented on this.. "Once a year, managers make adjustments in employee compensation". Performance reviews are supposed to be a two way street. We talk about if the employee is ad…

I would just like to say that getting paid to work on Firefox OS all day long is my dream job. If there are any Firefox OS devs reading, I would love to chat about what I should be doing now to improv…

Google Docs let me down when it mattered most. I really wanted to go all in on Google Apps and have been using them exclusively for the last year, but at the start of december I started negotiating a …

Seems strange to me to set up a community around a revenue model. Edit: I guess it would be interesting if discussion centered around how to make the revenue model work. I think there is a fine betwee…

Yes, I agree, I don't think normal people really care about a. native look and feel and b. 60fps animations. People want apps that are easy to learn and use, have the features they need, and free…

I sell premium accounts that let you create your own private games with custom settings.

How many users do you have for $700 a month on GAE?. My game Neptune's Pride that also makes about $2500 a month and has about 1000 - 1500 DAU only costs around $100 a month.

Neptune's Pride 2, an online strategy game is only doing $2500 a month. http://triton.ironhelmet.com I'm looking for remote work if you're hiring.…

I think it will be less. 20. I think in 50 years it will be illegal to drive manually on a public road.

Err. here in Australia thats what a taxi is now.

OMG I bought one last week!

I don't think naming your functions has to make the code "significantly longer". Perhaps 2 lines per callback. And yes it can be hard to name functions, and I think the OP has not crea…

Oh hey, another idea, if you keep the project really tight and small, I wont be too intimidated to get into it and help fix issues if I start using it.

rzimmerman I like it! and would consider using it for my next big project. If I were you I would make a slight course correction follow in the footsteps of Python and Go and have one and only one corr…

Or you could just open a window.

hey.. so.. the reason I stopped using Google Reader was that many of the feeds I was subscribed to would only include the first few paragraphs of the blog entry forcing me to click through to the blog…

I imagine Compute Engine prices will go up in the same way App Engine prices did.

I thought I would also jump in and say I have an old game thats still making me $300 a month that is running entirely on free quota.

I host a game on App Engine as well. I have about 3k DAU for which I pay about $3 a day. I can _almost_ pay for this in ads alone. Then the premium players I convert is profit! The secret of affordabl…

I would find this a lot harder. I have 6 applications running on Google App Engine. I use Analytics to track stats in them. I use Ad Sense and Ad words to help monetise them. I have 2 apps for busine…

Hey I would like to jump in and say I had a great experience with the Irish support guys on two separate occasions. $50 a year for google apps for biz.

I don't know how any body game make a game profitable at £2.99

The libraries around here tend to be packed full of students.

Ok, so I just read that Turnbul is talking about fiber to the node rather than fiber to the premises.

Are you serious!? I haven't been following the news but scraping the NBN would be the crime of the century. Are the talking about an alternative?
