I was at a tech conference job fair and chatting with a bunch of former game programmers.

I absolutely messed up when I asked one guy who worked on a famous game why they decided to do X feature, and if that was the reason for the game’s failure.

He looked me in the eyes and said something like, “I get orders from the business execs. So even if their ideas are obviously bad, if I don’t do it, I get replaced. After the game is released, good or bad, I get replaced. If the game doesn’t even get enough funding, I get replaced.”

Gaming industry seems so toxic.

I forget who the author was but they said something along the lines of writing is fighting the urge to fix that weird spot on your shoe.

You can probably go down the list of every single person Trump employs in his political team and find heinous shit on all of them.

In order to work with a PoS like Trump, you kind of have to have a lack of fucks for humankind.

I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.

Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.

Saved games can go:

• My Documents/
• My Documents/Games
• My Documents/My Games
• <app>/saved-games

Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?

When I was in college, the science department was a group of people at a table going, “Hey nerd! I bet you like computers, don’t you?”

And I did and I walked over.

Libertarians == conservatives who smoke weed

Nah. This “attack” is calling into question her work in politics. She wants to be president but does fuck all for years and springs up when it’s convenient?

Next question.

Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.

I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.

I’m more furious they left a shit review.

These reviews fuck with business, especially without context. Map apps while driving only show you the value.

Envious. It averages 15-30 mins

Losing their jobs? Uh what?

Damn. What a logic jump.

More than a decade in. I started with WordPress and PHP+jQuery. Then moved through the entire JS Framework suite of angular, react, Vue, svelte… I’m not as exhausted as the author. But I’m pretty tired. All the JS projects require frequent maintenance. Where the PHP project gathering dust on PHP 5.6, it only took me a few days to bring it up to PHP 8.2 and update all the libraries. It would be 10x as long were it a JA Framework.

I blame bootcamps who adopted React and only taught that. Watching devs hate on JS because they decided to do web development in React. Not to mention the many many convoluted patterns in React over the past 8 years makes it incredibly challenging to update projects.

I have pets so an exposed dangling sausage can lead to bad results.

Without consequences?

What do they always say? Fuck around and find out?

The difference is that a lot of people strongly hated the Clintons. So any slip from her was a reason for the opposition to pounce.

Kamala has so much swagger that even Republicans are supporting her. It doesn’t help that so many people are disgusted with Trump. So If Kamala slips, she turns it into a backflip and the opposition are too busy infighting to mount a attack.
