In an ideal world, something as nebulous, subjective, and unquantifiable as "taste" would never be the sole purpose of a technical practitioner. That so many developers believe thi…

Sure, it can be. Doesn't mean you'll take much away from it unless you're deeply familiar with the old ways of doing things.

>I'd like to understand what all that setup does and why it's done a particular way. That's something you'll only understand after trying to build something non-trivial with an old…

>covers is the fundamentals of real time graphics It does not cover all the fundamentals. It hardly explains the necessary math.

OpenGL 1.x is older than the hills.

Trying to learn Vulkan as a first API is doable, but you'll probably burn yourself out by the time you've gotten a triangle on the screen (unless you vibe code everything, in which…

They are out to make a profit. I am entitled to my opinion.

They have a business venture, not a silver bullet.

Paying teachers higher is a harder sell than isolating children from humans so they can talk to an LLM? What fucking society are we trying to cultivate?

Trying to compare apples to oranges is peak idiocy.

Roller Coaster Tycoon was programmed in fucking assembly. That's a work of artistry right there.
