To be clear for Overwatch only console party voice chat is peer to peer, not the in game Overwatch voice chat. This means you have to join a PSN party to reveal your IP. This is also true for Xbox One.

Subtle but important distinction, don’t want to scare people away from talking in Overwatch but players should avoid console parties with players they do not trust.

Wow no need to brag


Since this was a critical issue I think "David" should've brought key stakeholders (or leads) together and set expectations for who was doing what parts and when it would be complete.



Wish there was some info about what the site does without signing up.

Also, I would remove the question asking for business description and planning/modeling needs from the signup form. I think you're likely to get very little effort put into that section from a new user who has no attachment to your app. It could be placed better as the user begins to interact with your app (however that works) ..

edit: Oh I see, you have to go to the default landing page to get more info. https://opstarts.com/ -- Should fix that, at least make the navigation element in the upper left of app go to that landing page.


thanks, good point. we'll add a link back to the website from the application.


These puns are starting to feel repetitive.


It's a real circlejerk.


FOR PETE'S SAKE GUYS THIS ISN'T REDDIT!


and now the no humour brigade begins to circle the wagons.


While upgrading to Visual Studio 2013 you're prompted to create your account on the new Team Foundation Service site.

Overall feels pretty interesting. One thing of particular interesting is "cloud based load testing" service available for hosted repositories.

I'm a huge fan of Github and I don't see myself changing anytime soon, but I'm interested to see what features end up a part of the TFS offering.


A great deal of people leave companies (or positions) because of the relationship they have with their manager. If you're not in a position where you can comfortably discuss your salary with your direct manager, find a better opportunity.


I felt this exact same thing. The author specifically writes out "Dumbwhite" a few times after making a point or outlining some situation.

While the author certainly doesn't deserve to be treated with disrespect, I think there is some looking inward that needs to happen here too.


It's amazing how much work has gone into this site. Nice job.


I do a lot of interviewing and I almost always ask people to rate themselves on a scale of 1-10 in their primary language with a note that I recognize I don't expect our scales to match.

After they answer I ask what they learned last to raise their knowledge along their scale, what they're learning now to try to grow further (if anything, sometimes you're just executing not learning,) and if the candidate is applying for Senior Software Engineer or higher what "gotchas" they typically look for in a junior coworker/employee that would be rated lower on their scale (during a code review, for example.)

I usually get really thoughtful answers and gather a lot of insight about the candidates mastery of the language, mentoring and overall thought process.
