This week I finally made it over that line...

Over the past 30 years or so, I have been involved with some pretty cool hardware and software manufacturers. Although I was involved in product planning design, as a business executive I was mostly involved on the business management, sales and marketing side of things. I guess because I was hoping to pursue a career as a software engineer / game developer when I graduated from High School, I mostly associated with the hardware / software engineers in those various companies and to this day, I remained friends with most of the. So where am I going with this?

Throughout the years, while eating lunch or waiting for a movie to start, the guys would sometimes talk about other programmers saying things like "this guy has crazy skills but has never managed to ship anything" or similar concepts. I certainly understood what they meant but given I was not a programmer, I didn't fully understand nor realize how difficult it was to get over that line; To actually release and ship something...

Well after months of development of my own, I certainly now have a much better understanding and appreciation for programmers. This week, I am pleased to announce my entry into the fellowship and proud to call myself a programmer. Although my work isn't done as there are many more features and improvements I would like to add to my product, I have finally shipped something



Sincerely,


Stephan B.

 

Thank you!

The work has only begun and with 4.6 coming, got to make sure TextMesh Pro rocks that Here is a small preview video.

Indeed it is.

Thanks.

It's all cool. Paying customers before volunteer beta testing

P.S. We still need to make sure it all plays nice with Sony Vita.

 

Are you making fun of my accent?

Thank you!

 

Hopefully, I didn't come across as too salesy and delivered some substance

 

Breaking the cycle and resisting the urge to add one more extra feature was so hard. You can go weeks / months adding those "one more" feature at a time.
