My hardest interview was at Roblox (passing Google and Apple). After passing the normal coding + system design questions, they throw you at leadership who ask you a random analytical question. I struggled with knowing what sort of depth to go into, and asking clarifying questions did not help.


I can't find the RAM listed in the tech specs page. Any guesses?

The 5th gen has 3GB.


Even better: .85/.7 = 21.4%


~$340k for my apps. This is why I thought they would never make a change, because people would be upset without retroactivity (which they would never do).


Ouch. But also, well done on $2 mill+ in sales! What app was/is it?


This is exciting for small devs, even if not life-changing.

I made 42k in the last 365 days after Apple's 30% cut (or 60k in sales). That means I will get to keep an extra 9k next year, assuming revenue stays flat (it mostly has).

I was hired last year without a reference. I just submitted a resume to the careers page.


I want to use Firestore in Unity. When???


I’ve heard that even if you win in small claims it’s hard to collect from these giant corps. Were you ever able to collect the damages?


I would bet that if one is unsavvy about it one gets paid out about as quickly as they pay vendors (which can be glacial) but that a demand letter to the general counsel with a judgement attached results in a check getting cut no later than the business day after the day the letter is opened.


The airline sent me a check about a month after the hearing for the full 3x amount.


Does that airline still allow you to fly with them?


Yes, it did. I never had any service denial or other problem as a result of taking the airline to small claims court.

ETA details


Then it didn’t?


Pretty sure it was already the “hip” thing to make fun of mongodb before 2012. Who doesn’t remember this classic?
