History of Virtual Reality, Part 3: Welcome to the Metaverse
I, for one, am looking forward to the dawn of the metaverse, and I hope to see all of you on the other side.

Everyone is a leader at Revelry, and it’s because we let the process take the lead. Hang on though – we’re not cultists. When the process doesn’t fit, we allow ourselves and our team to change it up. We make the process work for us when necessary, not the other way around.
When every day is “same same but different” as they say, it helps to rely on habits for staying on top of responsibilities. This way, we don’t slip into feeling reactive and stressed out with our workloads.
A flexible work environment means that the team may be working or resting at many different hours. Believing that your teammates have achieved that essential personal balance is the first step in knowing that you’ll be operating from a place of trust.
You don’t have to allow interruptions. Take that pressure off yourself.
At Revelry, we are heavy users of DataDog so this solution leans heavily into putting metrics there.
Maverick is a far more interesting read than the average business book. I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to make their work place more energetic, effective, fair, and most of all, humane.
Once he wrote his own implementation of Conway’s Game of Life, Jonathan finally felt like a real programmer. He continues to apply this tactic when learning a new language or library. Here, he shares the results of using it on Ramda.
Aline wants you to go forth and be awesome, non-technical project managers: Acknowledge that learning new things is hard, be patient with yourself, and trust that the technical team will give you the same courtesy. Together, we make each other better. It’s the Revelry way.
If you’re designing and building apps with the iPhone X in mind, you’re going to want to optimize for its many changes and troubleshoot some common problem areas. Brittany researched the iPhone X more than most people who bought the phone!
Speaking up about potential challenges is a normal and important part of our process. When a teammate raises a fire drill, available or relevant teammates participate in the topic thread. Sometimes, we resolve the issue in a few minutes. And other times, we identify a major challenge and take the conversation to the product owner to discuss next steps.
If you take a cross-section of developers, you’ll find some very mixed opinions about pairing. Some devs hate it. Some devs write blog posts about how great it is. Why is this? Let’s chat about why pair programming is awesome, and what you can do to level up your skills.
We have daily standups. We tried adding a thing called a daily 4:20. But in the end, we decided to improve our ticket comment writing game. And Aline led the charge on the how and the why.
For 200 years, VR technology progressed but was stymied by limitations in innovation. In Part 2 of this 3-part series, Curtis introduces you to the major players in Silicon Valley who moved VR forward.
Jonathan shares code samples that prove how functional programming helped resolve some coding challenge problems much faster, and with fewer lines of code, than more imperative approaches would have — even for more imperative languages such as JavaScript.
