    I guess I can start. Basically I'm a web application developer working on creating frameworks and api for the company I work for. Currently I'm implementing this pattern for our base frameworks. http://addyosmani.com/largescalejavascript/#applyingmediator

    But any other kind of dev's, game programmers, mobile apps, line of business, whatever.

    Well we have one or two game developers here. The Communist is making a pretty nice little game:

    and while I dont consider myself a dev anymore, I was pretty big at designing scenarios, campaigns, and an AI in SW: Galactic Battlegrounds. Then moved on to the 3d world and designed a lot of maps for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. Here are a few screenshots of maps I made, keep in mine is is WAY back on the Quake 3 engine:

    Now days I dont do any development work in games, but I do code for machines and design the machines myself at work. Currently I am finishing up the program that will run on a few PLC's and control 11 servo drives plus some other stuff to run an entire machine. The small prototype for 1 part of the machine (proof of concept, basically showing my ideas will work) is nearing completion. I just finished ordering the last of the parts on the $18,000 prototype last week. Once done, the whole machine will cost around $140,000. Seems like a lot, but the equivalent "ready made" machine of the same design from a big company would cost well over $500,000. Once complete, I will begin work on 2 more new machines of similar design.

    Not a pro developer (yet), but once I complete my Java course, I'll be making my own mobile game in the summer. I'm also an artist and musician, so I'll be a one man team. Any ideas on what kind of game people would like to see are welcome :D
