One of my favourite things of being on HN is reading comments like this. Namely, devs who worked on games I played growing up. I absolutely love hearing stories from their past about little technical nuances like this comment. The more technical / specific, the better.
I'd honestly love to compile a book of "war stories" told by devs like netcoyote.
Maybe I will.
Net, if you're interested, hit me up.
This is a great idea, but respectfully, if you're going to get traction you need to be the one instigating getting people to talk to you. Have a pitch, have an explicit ask, and be willing to put effort into making it happen.
Fantastic idea though, you should do it.
