Damn, those copyleft extremists!

I used to have my local environment synced to prod. Saving meant deployed.

Everything was feature flagged by default, we never broke production in years. That was early 2010s.

It works on my machine, most of the time.

Tanks go brrrrr!

I’ll leave the regex to validate an ipv6 address as an exercise to the reader.

Revanced?

That’s exactly the point.

How much of our lives can money buy?

What if I wanted to sell my whole remaining time for the benefit of the ones I love, in the form of organs?

Should we allow money to buy anything? Or should we actually make people less desperate so that they are not willing to sacrifice all they have for peanuts?

How do you guarantee pizza ads if the jesus ministries are pushing that sweet money around, too?

Hell, no! The world is happier without the ad industry. The Internet was run basically on pure voluntary effort, and it was great. The ads didn’t make it viable, it always was.

The real question is: can consent be bought?

Or, you know. Just stop using reddit.

Why not contribute to the upstream?

Yes, I understand! I’m talking from the perspective of someone that learned those skills.

That learned about tool chains, about the required infrastructure, the processes, IDE configuration, etc.

I’m not saying the change is painless. I’m saying for each of those, there’s an equivalent in any other game making tool. The foundations help to learn the new ones faster. And the new ones takes you generalised knowledge further. Which only contributes to your professionals growth.

At the end of the day, every technology will be replaced. Being able to transfer skills between different scenarios is a valuable skill itself. :)

Don’t forget those skills are transferable!

Streams of events, object manipulation and shit is used everywhere. Just a few minor concept changes, just like from one company to another.

I’m speaking in abstract because it never happened to me.

But stuff like this, I suppose: https://www.businessinsider.com/how-bosses-use-employee-tracking-software-for-remote-workers-2023-8?op=1

And then actively using/reviewing these to create competition between people, and/or change how people choose to work.

I kind of get the passive use, and the extreme cases, where people are not delivering and then you find they are not actually working, in retrospect.

Active remote surveillance, no one?

Makes one question what should money be allowed to buy, doesn’t it?

Just like ARM based chips? From low power to main chips?

Worth mentioning that RISC-V is open source and anyone with the means is allowed to distribute it royalty free.

I think failed estimated dates just highlight how much we don’t know about ourselves, our systems and our own knowledge.

It is the abyss of the unknown talking back to us. We have the privilege of having the stuff we don’t know thrown back at us to prove us wrong. And we often fail to be humbled by it.

Most technology, programming languages and frameworks feel just the same, in a professional environment. Majority of web and apps is so simple that literally anything will do. Simple api consumption, simple database crud stuff. The tech stack doesn’t matter that much.
