so normally it's not an indestructible structure, but with that rule it is. Got it.
I feel like I keep seeing one million checkboxes guy's experiments, and I wonder.... Where is the monetization? Is this just a FANGAM engineer with a lot of free time? Am I just beaten down by the SWE landscape of 2025?
Actually, you can put all of those together and use them in a game. And the best part is that there's no target market, no KPIs to hit, so you can do anything!
I love seeing efficient use of computing resources. As long as I've been coding, it's been sort of a mantra that "programmer time is more important than execution time" - leading to very inefficient implementations that waste not just processor time but user's time. I keep hoping that with the ongoing migration to "the cloud" that identifies the relationship between efficiency and real cost, there'll be a resurgence…
But even with AWS, computing resources are cheaper than developer resources. It is very hard to needlessly burn even $20/hr on AWS without it needing much more time to fix
Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, I think the operative question is - Have you never felt so exhausted from working your day job that you don’t feel like building anything during your free time?
I don’t think it is. I think it’s normal to feel that way sometimes in our line of work, but it’s not normal to always feel that way.

We’ll shift it back with “distributed edge computing”. But even with AWS, computing resources are cheaper than developer resources. It is very hard to needlessly burn even $20/hr on AWS without it needing much more time to fix

As long as you'd sent all their moves off to the server, they should see all the moves they've done which were valid (hmm.. there could be a race condition there). I wonder how often it's worth doing the more complex unwinding described? I may well be missing some complex case (which I imagine is often the case with rollback!)

Not everything needs to make money. Some people build things for fun.

Probably. Alternatively, I would ask if you ever enjoyed coding, or if it's purely been a job for you.
