Was it worth it? My 1000th post.

News & General Discussion

I had just finished responding to a question on the forum and when looking back to review what I’d written, I noticed the counter on the left side said, ‘999’, which means, this is my 1000th post!

Was it worth it? Two years, 6 products, and a thousand hours of growth, learning, and sharing is hard to quantify. So, I went back to see just what all that meant, and found some nuggets worth sharing:

• The 12-Week Challenge
• Monetizing Free
• The shallow lip that is Serious Games
• Elements of Game Design
• Shipping is a Feature
• The Recipe for a Story
• Tax Write-offs
• On Mastery
• Savor Your Successes
• Many Products == Win
• Keys to Success
• People buy Why, not What
• Glad I have My Real-Life Job
• Are Video Games Art?
• Does it ever ‘click’?
• The ‘Almost There’ Can, from KhanStruct
• Don’t be Boring
• Simplicity. Defined.
• How to Finish Projects
• Brett Victor’s Learnable Programming

Somewhere along the way, I wrote this, “If you aren’t falling down, you aren’t learning.” And with all I’ve learned, yer damn right it was worth it.

Sadly I could manage only one of those “q” words, so I figured I’d go for the one that looks most impressive under my username…

However I find this base-10 nonsense to be off-topic on this forum. 1024 posts would be a much better milestone!

I’m not usually into post count threads but in this case, although I haven’t read them all, I expect that each one is well worth reading.

Here’s to the next thousand!
