I think paid add-ons, visualizations, could be a thing.

Eww. Can we pay cash or btc to buy CPU time upgrades?
curiousHacker | 11 years ago | on: Screeps – the world's first MMO sandbox strategy game for programmers
I think that I would want to develop an intuition. I also definitely want to be able to check in on my mobile phone somehow.

This would be an amazing way to indulge my programming fascination while also honoring my financial commitment to stick with efforts that could make a direct $MM impact on P&L. Wait, I can program and do that? Where do I sign up?
Hi, devs! Feature request: that you can play the game without having to enter code; that you can actually point and drag and click. I hope that "You can master basics without knowing JavaScript" means that there is a traditional RTS style mousey interface

curiousHacker | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Sporty – An app for creating and joining sports activities nearby
As a pickup basketball fiend I am interested in this. I find that pu bball is the best way for me to meet and network with guys. I have to say though there are certain types of people I definitely want to avoid playing with.
Also, some advice on your webpage. I am not going to bother downloading your app. I'm on my computer. However if you geolocated me based on my IP and then said "There are currently 5 games for Today, and 3 for next Thursday, in City Name", then I would be a lot more compelled. I am just skeptical, since a lot of these Show HN posts are duds.

Delivery driver making $80k. Totally negates the value of a college degree. Embarrassing.

I've talked to engineering executives who agree, "I've read all of Joel's stuff", but then fail to implement his ideas at a concrete or abstract level. I don't know why.
