  • Simple Programmer Podcast 194: My Coworker Doesn't Work

    My Coworker Doesn't Work

    Working at a company with a team can be tricky sometimes. In order to have a system working fine, all team members must be able to cooperate in ways that it makes all pieces working in complete harmony.

    So, what should you do if a piece of this system is not working as it should? In today's video, I received a question from a reader asking me about how he should approach a situation in which he has a coworker that does not like to work.

    According to him, he has a coworker that does not do any job. He simply goes to the company, gets his money to sit there doing nothing. His boss knows everything but they won't do anything to change it.

    What should he do in a situation like that? How can he approach it? Should he battle to change this guy's destiny or should he simply let it go?

    Invest In Houses Or Condos?

    Real Estate investments can be tricky. You have a lot of options to choose and, the more you learn, the more you'll feel lost and overwhelmed. There is never a right or wrong answer when it comes to real estate investment. You'll first need to analyze every variable, before coming to a conclusion.

    So, in this case, what would be better? Invest in houses or condos? Both have very different approaches and can provide you very different results, especially when it comes to cash flow, expenses and the amount of money you make at the end.

    So, is there a right answer to this questions? Well, not so much. As with all real estate investments, it depends—on the particular property, location, market, and other factors, such as the annual return you expect on the investment, or cap rate.

    Watch this video and find out the difference between those two investments and what would be the best option for you.

    Is It Ok If My Company Does Not Pay Me?

    When you get a job the first thing that comes to mind is the salary you'll receive, right? You start thinking about all the amazing things you'll be able to to with the money you'll get, what types of things you'll be able to buy, etc.

    But... What if your company does not pay you? Yeah, you heard it right... What if your company does not pay you and you're working for... FREE?

    In today's video, I received a question from a reader telling me that he is working for free. He started working for a startup that will sell some products in the future. However, his boss is telling him that he will not be paid until they start selling the product... That means that he is working for free.

    What should he do? What would YOU do in situations like this?

  • Simple Programmer Podcast 190: Are Generalists Better Than Specialists?

    Are Generalists Better Than Specialists?

    This is another podcast where I'll discuss the old-fashioned battle about whether you should become a specialist or not. I've done so many podcasts about that topic that it is totally recommended that you check my playlist on "Specialization And Niching Down".

    So, in this podcast, I received a very interesting question. A reader from the blog asked me why I've contradicted myself in this topic. he said that I said, in some old podcast of mine, that you should be a generalist. Wait, what? How could that be possible?

    If you watch my channel, you've probably heard me talking about how important I think it is for someone to become a specialist, instead of a generalist. But... Did I really say that? Are generalists really better than specialists?

  • Simple Programmer Podcast 189: What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game?

    What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game?

    A lot of developers dream about game development. This is a hot topic and a lot of programmers want to become software developers so that they can develop games and work in the game development industry.

    While I've talked about game development before, whether it was the career or pros and cons, I've never talked about what you REALLY need to start developing games.

    So, I've received this question from a reader asking me about what he needed to start developing games. He talks about how technology has changed so much over time and how complex it is right now to develop games. How can just one person develop an entire 3d game? Directx? CUDA? How the hell?

    I talk in this video why right now may be the best time to develop games and why these technologies don't matter so much anymore.
