#2One thing that puzzles is me is why some of these checks aren't just part of the warnings that a compiler emits. I get that you wouldn't want to enable them all the time, but usually comparing a variable to itself is not what you want.

#3If it wasn't obvious from the URL, OP is more about a code analyzer product than Amazon Lumber, mentioned in passing as an example usage.

Yeah. I think the analyzer is pretty neat. It's cool to focus on human mistakes writing code rather than validity of code itself. I see a bunch of errors I've made before, especially when copying and pasting. Time to find something like this for vscode to do realtime linting of human errors.
That being said, I think this article really overstates the dire state of Lumberyard. Yep, it has bugs. I don't think this convinces me that the sky is falling if the devs don't change their ways.

You're right, but just a fun edge-case to think about (in JS):
NaN === NaN // -> false

#6One of the best blog-ads for a product I've seen in a long time.
It effectively shows value of their software while being interesting enough and relevant to something popular that already has (some) following. Perfect.
Makes me wish they had something similar for JS or Python. I know I've made these mistakes all too often.

#7Why would anyone choose Lumberyard over CryEngine directly? I would think that ones core product will always be better maintained then just some side project that was bought in.

It effectively paints the blog-spam as being a good article.

#9what's the value add of Lumberyard over Cryengine? you'd think the netcode would be the selling point.

E.g. because Amazon might still be around next week? This hasn't been a given regarding Crytec for quite a while now.
