This list is provided as a guide for tools engineers of all skill levels looking for jobs in the game industry. It's meant as a guide to topics that should be pursued broadly in order to be well spoken in an interview. I doubt any hiring manager requires deep knowedge across every topic, but an ideal candidate would be somewhat knowledgable (aware of its existence if asked directly) with all topics here.

Each list of bullets increases in difficulty, so later bullets are more applicable to senior (or even director) level candidates.

Good luck.

Math

Install dlib and face_recognition on a Raspberry Pi

Instructions tested with a Raspberry Pi 2 with an 8GB memory card. Probably also works fine on a Raspberry Pi 3.

Steps

Download the latest Raspbian Jessie Light image. Earlier versions of Raspbian won't work.

Write it to a memory card using Etcher, put the memory card in the RPi and boot it up.

Setup multiple git identities & git user informations

keep yourself subscribed

I don't encourage you spending all your time on social media or keeping the notifs on if you're working on something serious. I don't do that personally. Sharing my knowledge on social media is a necessity as I don't have my platform right now, but it also vies for your attention all the time which is against productivity.

Therefore, If you want to know when a newsletter is out, or a podcast episode, or a live session is scheduled, this is the one place. Just join the page and switch ON the notifs for this one page.

I like the fact that in Telegram you can control the notifs at page level on your phone.

Enable `systemd` in WSL 2

This guide will enable systemd to run as normal under WSL 2. This will enable services like microk8s, docker and many more to just work during a WSL session. Note: this was tested on Windows 10 Build 2004, running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in WSL 2.

To enable systemd under WSL we require a tool called systemd-genie
Copy the contents of install-sg.sh to a new file /tmp/install-sg.sh:
