Sounds like you're just lazy. Which is fine. You'll probably have a okay career. But not a great one.

This kind of stuff happens all the time. The employees in question are just incredibly bad at covering their tracks, normally they'd get fired and that would be it. It is fishy tha…

Ok

The author's base assumption, and stated motivation for doing this project, is wrong. https://github.com/StephenDev0/StikDebug For an undergrad project, I suppose it's fine to conv…

Windows 7 was the last good one.

I used to believe this for like 10 years. And I never had any custom environment. But then I was at a job where I was forced to create a custom dev environment, because theirs was …

If I had the means, and if it was as convenient/pleasant as this, I would absolutely get an MRI every month.

Entertainment isn't inherently valuable.

I touched a nerve huh? You wanna know another leading consumer? Recreational drug users. Lot of money in that industry.

Ok so now you're lying. I never said that.

I never said they are low skill. They just don't have their priorities straight. Those QA teams, automation people, production, level designers, vfx artists, tech artists, characte…

That is precisely my point, thank you. Yeah there's a few good ones like Undertale or (early 2010s era) Minecraft or Roblox or Garry's Mod but those are rare. Most of the games out…

Funny you mention Pokemon. Have you been to a Pokemon regional championships recently? Take a good look at the average Pokemon player. You really think that hobby is adding value t…

This, and also, if you just take a step back and think of the bigger picture, the work isn't valuable. There's a lot more value in pushing ads, a CRM, an email app, etc than keepin…
