Chris Oliver: the Black Magic of Video Game Timing

Oct 27 2020

(Anchor.fm link)

In this episode, Chris and I talk about the black magic of video game timing, why you should build your own package manager, why you should write what you love, why Chrome using All The Memory is a good thing and what you can learn from Porsche redesigning their whole car every four years.

Chris is on Twitter as excid3. He’s the guy who runs GoRails.com.
