I would rather see it in 18 months with a smooth roll out than 6 months and have it buggy AF. Best of luck to the dev team and please keep us posted (even if it says we are still alive and going bald getting the bugs out).


pls Dark0ne, make it as best as you envision. I am stoked for it and hope it will work better than the nmm ever did with more functionality

Well if they won't hire you with that esteemed list of qualifications, I'm sure someone will.

Still were you guys really aware of the decision made? Electron ships with a chrome VM. So for each electron app that you have on a desktop, you have installed chrome's engine too, despite the fact that you have already a chrome browser. It's not a secret that chrome eats up your resources (especially when managing memory). I certainly don't want this on my PC.

I wished that you have considered to stay at C# like the old NMM (even if that software program is not designed correctly). I have also seen the requirements. Especially the "bonus skills" section. The management has to consider if they're not picking too many technologies. Really, for server side only: Node.js + Rails + PHP. Or is node.js used for some client site tooling? I would really say "Really?" if that's the situation.

For the client technology we've considered many different technologies, not just electron and c#. Electron ended up to be the best trade-off for what we wanted to achieve. We of course considered staying with c# but decided against it, it was not a decision made on a whim.

I don't quite get your argument about: "Why use a the chrome vm when you could use the .net vm bundled with Windows?".
With that very same logic you'd have to ask "Why use chrome when you could use internet explorer bundled with Windows?".

The answer is the same for both questions: Because it's better and worth a couple mb of download.
Well, actually, I'm not going to claim electron is superior to .net in general, but for a UI heavy application at this time it is, in my opinion.

Would the Nexus sponsor citizenship and pay to move the candidate?

Glad you got someone on board. You must post some photos of the team and Exeter Office. I have in mind this kind of Google style complex overlooking the sea, all Art Deco, Miami Vice with slides, bar and flashing lights. I guess it's not really like that, huh?

 

Need a tea boy? (Well, old git more like). I'm really good at exploring Skyrim CTDs, too.

Guess the team, and new guy they hired can figure that out and you can go start your own application for something?
