Lol they just announced subscriptions so it's already beginning.

Yep I just go to indies now. The AAA studios feel just samey.

Yeah I bet people are just getting by with a phone. There's an entire generation that uses phones for 95% of their computer needs.

I'm using a phone app right now haha.

Unless its for myself or my family I ant gonna do it :D

I think in retirement, my goal will be to step back from the keyboard and go fishing/gardening or something. Unless I get the itch to do coding, Im not going to do it.

Sometimes ill do TDD, sometimes ill do the opposite. When I know what something looks like or should function. Im not sure what the technical term of itis, but ive heard someone call it Scaffold testing. Its making sure all the parts work as expected (Unit and integration/e2e) for your future sanity.

TDD lets you experiment and makes multiple potential solutions to a general problem. IE starting with the end first. Scaffolding lets you create a scaffold around what you already built so its more rigid. Both have their place.

Heh yeah. I feel that. Close to 20 now and Im starting to feel the churn. But its still a good feeling to give direction and see people grow. I used to be a team lead in addition to a senior dev...now im just a dev (being an individual contributor is fun again) and the 40 tabs bit resonates with me. I find that AI is good a surface level assignments like build basic CRUD/models...but it Fd up so hard sometimes its hard to come back from. Definition of spaghetti sometimes haha. I just go back to the old stuff that I know works.

Im not sure if this helps anyone but I used to tell my jr devs the same thing:

1. You got the job.
2. You are now a developer.

The article somewhat goes over this but: Learning to code is a life long thing. You just keep getting better each day with practice. Im not sure about the phases though. Definitely the "job ready" portion of the article. It seems short sighted to say you need all those things and going through each of the "phases" in order to be successful. Just solve a problem. With software. Congrats!

I have that casio watch. Its still working after many years of usage. The buttons are much too small for my hands, but its just a nice watch in particular.

It's just complicated enough that only power users will use it. At least on what it looks like at the moment.

Thanks!

It's all good. I found some of his other videos thanks for on your video. This is awesome, enjoying the videos now.

Is there a list of games he reviews?

While I would love people to come over to mastodon (or mastodon adjacent) I personally think this is a step in the right direction. Having more fediverse adjacent platforms makes it easier for people to communicate in a much less platform specific conglomeration.

True and seeing it happen once (the famous one) makes it likely.

I hear pathfinder is fun.

You could start out with custom models in rivals of aether. Just a suggestion.

Yep I remember. Its an estimate...kinda. there were many reasons given but at the time it felt bad. Like they were trying to hide the counts...which I still think they do.

I quite like the style of the prototype.

It's this last two years where it has gotten really bad in my opinion. Before you could at least navigate the ads ridden site. Now base Google search is tremendously worse.

We have been joking about it releasing in two weeks for close to a year now.

Having something like this and onion is would be amazing. And/Or portmaster.
