This simply is not correct - the scene is huge. If you think that, you're hanging out with the wrong crowd.
So many myths about what computing is and isn't -- I've not experienced anything remotely similar in any other field of human endeavor.
- pjc50 8y agoThe demoscene, or the software development "scene" as a whole? > I've not experienced anything remotely similar in any other field of human endeavor. Similar to what?
- Annatar 8y agoDemo and cracking scene. Similar to mentality in any other profession.
- sp332 8y agoIt's much bigger in Europe. Demoparties in the USA tend to die off quickly. Other than @party, I'm not sure any others have lasted even 5 years.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoThe demoscene has always been awesome and influential, and it may be thriving right now, but it's still a niche hobby. It doesn't change the fact that use of assembly for practical purposes is dwindling, and has been for a long time.
- Annatar 8y agoActually it very much changes that "fact", because most of the people coding demos work in the gaming industry and write commercial software titles.
