@PetePetersen If your application has a comparable number of users to Google Docs then that is what is known as a Good Problem To Have. :)

comment Where to start in developing a game engine as a web app
Game engines and web applications are two very different types of software. Web applications have to operate on a request/response basis where game engines involve session interaction, multi-threaded programming, and scheduled tasks. You should focus on learning best practices for architecting such systems and then worry about the best technology to implement that system.

Hi tommyk, your question was migrated to Programmers where it is more appropriate, so there was no need to post a duplicate question. We discourage cross posting across stackexchange sites, so if you feel you posted your question on the wrong site then flag for a moderator and we will look into migrating it for you. Thank you.

comment Do integrated systems increase development time and cause inflexibility?
I disagreed with the closure of this question and decided to reopen it. I feel that there are only a few constructive responses to such a question and any good answer requires addressing both viewpoints on the issue.

comment Website Development Process - HTML to CMS
Welcome to Programmers crysinsf. You have a good question but unfortunately I don't feel this is the right place. HTML and Wordpress sites fall into the realm of web design where we focus on software development. Please see the FAQ for more information.

comment Began with iOS development, skipped CS, and getting hit hard at interviews?
@lukech I don't get the impression that anybody is telling you off... I think that what Telastyn is trying to say is that while you may be a good iOS programmer who can achieve things functionally, you are missing the education and background in proper software design. Employers for this skill set are clearly not looking for just iOS programmers but also general software developers (there is a difference). I know it is a tough pill to swallow and it is not your fault, we all have to learn how to crawl before we can start running.

comment Are there any fully documented “Stories of software design”?
@MainMa It falls into Not Constructive because he is essentially asking for a list of blogs that document software design stories. Everybody will post either their own blog or a favorite blog and this doesn't fit the quality guidelines for a StackExchange question.
