It's not anecdotal. There's no doubt there is a massive downturn in tech and in general right now. There has never before been such large revisions to job numbers. The latest is that massive print of 653k jobs in Q2 was all a lie.
> The massive downward revisions to jobs data are set to continue: latest from PHL Fed has early benchmark indicating jobs DECLINED in Q2 of this year while the initial monthly job reports estimated gains of 653k - the labor market's strength is a fiction..

- w4ffl35 2y agoTerrible. I've turned to making video games while my wife works. Rough times.
- marmaduke 2y agohow far from your previous experience is the game work?
- w4ffl35 2y agoVery far. I'm a fullstack web developer. Independent game dev has been my hobby for 10 years, and game dev is what got me interested in tech when I was a kid. I started teaching myself at a young age with qbasic. Building interfaces and menu systems etc feels very similar to frontend web development. Much of the domain knowledge transfers when it comes to programming. Mainly my skills transfer to gameplay development and debugging. I make small games and only just recently released my first commercial game, which has only sold two copies.
- marmaduke 2y agodo you have a link for your game? how was the release process?
