If there isn’t a written down set of features, it sounds like they want you to get done with as much as you can for less than $100,000.
That’s going to require more coordination in your end, since it means holding their hands while they prioritize what minimum features they can accept.
But you’re dealing with the mechanics on their side causing an issue with approval.
At that point, I’d look to remove scope to get under the 100k threshold.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Mainly only with my PS2.
As someone also measured as gifted and put in gifted classes, there was an interesting discussion that I had with one of the teachers about how the views for approaching gifted education was changing.
For a lot of schools, the “gifted” students are gifts; you don’t have to spend time on their education and they may end up helping the classes they are in. So, it is ok to treat them like normal kids and they won’t become a problem.
However, studies have shown that to be really bad for the “gifted” students. You get a lot of underperforming students who don’t engage with the material as it is mentally underwhelming. Soft skills that they were supposed to learn were never developed because they never had to. You even had issues with developing social skills as the distance in standard deviations between gifted and normal children are the same as between a normal kid and a “special education” kid.
The findings were showing you had to treat the “gifted” students with the same care as those in “special education” as the common teaching techniques don’t work, issues are much more varied between children, and being able to lean on talent in some cases leads to skills not being learned because they never needed to be.
Sounds like you were kept with the normal kids.
Bring able to do those sorts of problems isn’t important.
Having the logic solving ability to do those sorts of problems is.
Whatever the Steam Deck would be if Valve went full Linux desktop?
Linux keeps getting more development because it is the cheapest way to develop a platform. It is the reason why almost all servers are Linux and it was used as the basis for Android.
That said, Steam is a wildly profitable company that is self aware enough to not kill its golden goose.
