2048: Great Game, But Better Resume
2048 is a web-based game by Gabriele Cirulli, a 19-year old programmer in Northern Italy who likely just wrote the best resume he ever could have written — a super addictive HTML5 based game that’s mobile responsive and has the plus of being fun to play. I heard about the game from Kevin Marks on TWiG #241. He’s even been referenced by xkcd, which is the geek equivalent of a having your name on a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
The game has 16 tiles, and you start with two tiles with either a ‘2’ or a ‘4’. In each move, you swipe tiles either left, right, up or down, in order to match numbers and eliminate tiles.
While I work on my score, I’m grinning quietly to myself thinking how this guy just got himself a red carpet to any job he wants — or no job if he chooses to monetize this baby.
Good luck, Gabriele. Way to go. P.S. I’m hiring!!
