Comment

This was the first project that I was working with a larger team (between 6 and 15 developers) and that had such a large impact (multiple thousand users). I had a lot of fun to analyze the technical grounds of one of my favorite games. I learned a lot by communicating regularly with the developers team that consisted mostly of veterans of the field.
