Anybody working for Valve here? Can somebody confirm how many % percentage of this is BS?


This is a common question from people interviewing at Valve. I was suspect how accurate it was before I joined given how long it's been since it was updated. However, it still 100% represents the culture within Valve. Desks are still on wheels, structure is still completely flat, etc...

It's been on my list of "eventual todos" to make a trivial update to help reinforce that it's still relevant.


Personally I'm interested in this proposed flatness. I understand that it's the aim, but at the end of the day someone approves vacations, manages budgets for projects and is the person that has to have hard conversations with an employee right? Someone will have higher mandate for hard decisions?


How is individual performance evaluated?


Part 3 of the handbook


How this is possible for iOS? Can someone share technical details on this iOS implementation? IMO this cannot be done without validating user privacy and giving app some crucial screen reading permissions.


You can't take the same approach on iOS but to Apple's credit, they do a great job with user privacy with their Screen Time permission. Apps with that permission get the ability to restrict other apps on the phone without ever knowing what they are. They can even report data back to the user without ever knowing that data.

For Android I did it using the Accessibility Service API, iOS doesn't provide any similar API, the platform itself is much more restricted. So I think is technicaly not possible


Yeah, this is not possible in iOS because there is no equivalent of Accessibility services for apps to control other apps behavior.

Not sure what OP is running waitlist for, my guess is a combination of screen time + focus modes + content blockers in Safari.


It’s currently Android only. There is a waitlist on their website for the iOS version.


The answer is jailbreak or sideloaded modified ipas.


Does anyone of you know what stack has been used to create this good looking AI pictures with the same face on each photo? Recently I was playing with some AI gen. tools for photos but this is next level
