What I do for a living is somewhat like mercenary prostitution ... I spend a lot of energy trying to find games to bring to alternate platforms, like Linux and MacOS, and in my free time, I work on various open source projects, and other freebies like that ... so I guess I'm a hooker with a heart of gold, sorta. — Ryan C.

Ryan C. Gordon Quotes 1183406

I find if you're targeting Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X right from the start, your code will probably work anywhere else that you might try it later ... Writing code that is cross-platform from the start requires more discipline, but I find it is worth the effort. — Ryan C. Gordon
