The digest of interesting materials for the mobile developer # 275 (November 12 - 18)

In the new digest, the best funny and sad stories from PapaBubaDiop, server-side Swift and multi-faceted MVI, game mechanics in Excel and computers that cannot count. Welcome!

Funny and sad stories about the development of computer games

Only through laughter can you tell how the fruits of long and hard work spread across all the computers of the country, but do not bring a single drop of income. Only a smile will help to accept a good, honest offer of profit distribution 1 to 12, where 1 - to the developer, and the rest to the aggregator. And it's hard not to be a little sad, listening to that amazing time of an absolutely empty market for mobile games and the almost gambling enthusiasm of developers.
