It's no coincidence that it's been almost 3 months exactly since the last round of Microsoft gaming layoffs.

Hey all, I’m back with the first entry in an urban fantasy series I read recently for this week’s Bookish Wednesday. It’s “Silver Magi Book One” by D. Levesque. Plot: This starts off being a rather typical urban fantasy novel, though the fact that the main character Brandon is a 30-something-year-old man in a dead-end job is a plot point that feels a bit off compared to other things I’ve read.

Hi everyone, I’m working on implementing a chat feature for my app, which involves two screens. The first screen displays groups with recent chats, and clicking on a group shows the entire chat history. Each chat is represented by a node containing the sender’s name and the chat messages. These chat nodes are instantiated dynamically, and their size depends on the text content.
