> why is ... mine [only] around about a year’s worth of salary?

this complaint is almost as tone deaf as the satire. poor you. i was laid off, and only got a month's severance.


i assume you mean sitting on the floor and using a shorter height table as a deak. i would love links to Ikea options. i can't even think what you would search for to find such a thing!


i would add, "5. Ask questions." if you struggle to make conversation, find one thing about the person and ask them about it. how did they decide to do what they do for a living? what about that hat made them buy it?


i love the gentle approach described here. it's the best way to make incremental progress in what seems at first glance to be an insurmountably difficult problem. thank you!


those poor cats.


i just played with it a bit and it's kind of awesome! It takes like 5 min to get the hang of it. I didn't notice until I came back here about publishing completed maps, that's great too. Passed along to my (many) game playing friends. If you decided to open source it I would join on for sure.

Why is the hallway tool called "snap to grid"? That was the one I couldn't figure out how to get back to because it's a non-intuitive name imo. When I went back in just now and restarted doodling, I saw that was the tool highlighted.

Also, the way the wall tool works is harder to use than the way the "hallway" aka "snap to grid" tool works, imo the latter is more intuitive.

Just some thoughts! Awesome work!


Thanks for the feedback! I find it interesting you call it a hallway tool, I've never heard anybody refer to it that way before. When I first started, I had the free form drawing, and loads of people were requesting snap to grid options, so I added that as its own tool cause it had a few options specific to it. I personally use it to draw entire maps, as I often find it quicker to fill in a room than switching to the room tool and back. That's how I ended up with that name, and why I feel something like hallway is a little bit too specific for what it does.

I based the wall tool off of the line tool, since I assumed straight walls are the most desirable for people. How would you suggest making it work more similar to the snap to grid tool?

Thanks again!


Or ProServ - it's a lot of debugging/diagnostics work. There's a whole wide world of need for good diagnosticians who are thin on the ground, my friend.

Looking for a long-term senior-level backend technical role. I'm a generalist with lots of different technologies including 15+ years of Java, a recent python/Docker project, a couple years of Scala. I like wearing lots of hats. I'm currently working my way through the gawk manual in service of a side noodle sorting images by date created.

Ready to act immediately if we are a good fit.


This is something I definitely wanted and didn't know about. Thanks!


I'm an IC and I read it as very relevant for ICs.
