It’s hard to believe you used to be able to get a normal job at a local company in your hometown and afford a house, car and children working 40 hours a week.
It’s fully dependent on your hometown’s COL. my home town is a moderately sized, but mostly forgettable city in the eastern time zone. This is absolutely possible there if you’re in probably 80% of the suburbs, but you may struggle to be in the very nice few towns.
They say taxes were higher at the top end, might be worth a shot
Like the game, it's still luck. You can luck out and get a 20 hr/week job writing simple code from home and coast.

Sure, an 800 sq ft single story home with asbestos insulation, lead paint, no central HVAC, single paned windows, a car that's comparatively a rolling death trap to anything modern, and your wife would have no choice but to provide child care and would not be allowed her own checking account
what a fucking utopia, I'm gonna go huff some leaded car exhaust
Tech Debt score of +5 at the end. Is it obvious I'm a software engineer?
bug notes
- couple of times a card seemed to get magically selected for me, i've got "tapping = clicking" disabled on my trackpad, so not sure how those happened, hopefully was me fat fingering. usually i didn't even have time to see the new card though, which makes me think it might be some bug with noticing inputs? could be my fat fingers tho.
- When I have spare meeting time left over, I was able to select an objective that had moved as a result of a card at the start of the day, could infinitely roll the dice with nothing happening. I could at least select a different objective to make things move forward tho.

Same bug here, in Firefox 128.
Also, while we're making suggestions, would it be possible to replace the tutorial balloon boxes with something that's less in the way? I like built-in hints and don't want to turn them off, but sometimes they can be a bit annoying when they cover up parts of the game UI. I would prefer some kind of animated glow behind the parts of the game I'm supposed to click on (cards, bars, or the die) plus a statically positioned explanation box to the side or on the bottom. That would make the hints unobtrusive enough that there would be no need to provide an option to turn them off.
Thanks, lol, you deserve a well-architected wink ;)
Thanks for these bug reports, nice and detailed so I'll be able to find a fix for them
It’s hard to read cards on mobile.
If I tap a card to read the full text, the card then covers other cards. If I tap on another card, it now covers the rest. And if I tap the original card to remember a detail from the description, this now plays the card.
Edit: Looks like clicking anywhere else “deselects” the active cards - this way it is possible to read the description of all cards at any time without playing any.
You can tap off of cards to shrink them back.
But then you choose it. I misselected several times
Weird, I had no problems deselecting cards by just tapping off to the side. Usually bottom right.
On mobile screens the cards that were previously selected take a lot of space in the background; if you click that background card, intending to “deselect” the foreground card, then you suddenly play the background card. But yes, if you click anywhere else then all cards are deselected. Still, I find this very unintuitive.
Love this. However, when I got a high score I appeared twice on the leader board for some reason. Another time I appeared just as “name” and my high score which would have put me at #1 at that point (12090!) didn’t get entered at all.
I also got duplicate cards a few times - which might be intentional, but was a little annoying.
Very addictive in a silly fun way. Well done :)
Lova your last comment :D
I fixed the first issue: I got also an alert at the same time that I ran out of quota on the db so had to increase it. You should see your point now. The duplicate cards issue is strange.. I'll have to debug that a bit more
I played a card that said tech debt drops by 4 thinking it’s a good thing, but it knocked me out of the game
"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."
Brilliant. This is my life.
Ah this is a quote I was looking for :D
Great game. I love it so much.
I can’t watch the tutorial because YouTube insists on a sign-in. -_-
Same here. Opening the tutorial video directly [1] in a different browser and with clear cookies worked for me.
I rarely see this login wall, usually it happens in combination with hn posts.
