You should check it out and watch the netflix series about it. Of course today movies have way more VFX shots than before. The technology isn't as expensive and is much more available to be used. They were just inventing it back then.

Cost is the only thing that matters. I don't believe the budgets of today's movies are any smaller than they were before CGI, CGI artists are very much expensive and there are tens of thousands of them working on a movie.

What?! You should check your facts. It was way more immersive because they had way more time to do it and didn't had turmoil in the direction of the movie. LOTR is an example of great CGI done in almost every shot of the movie

There's so much CGI nowadays that even things you don't think are CGI, are actually CGI. Like buildings, glasses, doors, the most mundane things are done with CGI in many TV shows and movies. Jon Favreau was a person who was very

As a manager I feel my days are always short, I work in a big company and have 1:1s with other departments to develop relationships, to try to influence other team’s roadmaps , to check how other people are doing that used to be on my team

You have no idea what you're talking about when comparing their setup to "most startups you've worked with"

Yes, this and having such a big consul cluster where the recommendation is to have more smaller clusters. That said, could've happened to anyone and it was a great write up.

How much did you invest?
553.

Maybe pitch less work for your team? Set more realistic goals ? Fight for them? Not every business is a startup fighting to survive or grow like hell within a year. Some businesses have been around for decades and are in a comfortable place

Who is making 150/hour and owns a house as a dev in Canada ? Nobody that works for Canadian companies that’s for sure

This list of : socialist or communist governments now: makes absolutely no sense. Mexico? Portugal? Argentina? Why don't you add Sweden, or even Canada by the same standards?

100+ person but how many devs? It doesn't feel reasonable for a CTO to be coding 50% of their time. Coding is usually the lowest impact / ROI activity one can have after having a couple of folks under them.

No it isn’t. It’s FAANG level without the stocks. I wouldn’t call it pretty bad.

If you want to get into 3d graphics, you could apply for an entry level position in the industry, for example, a Pipeline TD in Visual Effects (VFX) or an R&D position. Usually it's very hard for them to find talent that has experi

Feels to me like you have zero experience scaling outside the big cloud provider as this is simply not true

You want to look for jobs outside the fullstack/web space . Look for engineering companies that aren’t tech companies.

Yes absolutely. I’ve worked from chip design in vhdl to coding microservices and devops. It’s IMO all the same shit with different flavours.
