Making an MMO....
Making an MMO....
We're programmers. Programmers are, in their hearts, architects, and the first thing they want to do when they get to a site is to bulldoze the place flat and build something grand. We're not excited by renovation:tinkering,improving,planting flower beds.
Re: Making an MMO....
If you look at craiglist there are always "idea" guys looking for programmers
Re: Making an MMO....
Ah - I had already a few similar interviews. Funniest one was probably the guys who wanted me to code a porn-chat. More or less it was like - "you code this, we bring in the girls, then we split the money" :-)

lol
It's interesting how there's alot of demand for money, er, I mean software, and some people still think it gets put together like magic. Put on your wizard hats, everyone!

And besides them thinking its all done by the wave of a finger, they also assume you have no life or another job.

You will never know if you don't try, sometimes a proposal or a idea look like ridiculous, and by the magic of life it explodes and turns into success, i'm sure that you can think about many examples of that, if you don't try you will never know, luck can be with you someday... Tibia was a college project, and is one of the most played MMOs in the world, not saying that MMOs are a golden mine, that apply to EVERYTHING, not just money, try and persist is a good way to keep life going and see what it have to give to you. ;}
