Agreed, it’s not really the same as being a gameplay programmer which is what most people think of as “gamedev” It can pay quite well at large studios or tech companies if you work outside of games and the hours aren’t necessarily bad, it d

This sucks but I guess PC has been like this for a long time and no one seems to care/talk about it

I'm curious prior to this has there been any research/attempts at chemical methods to strengthen the structure and allow it to be unrolled?

It’s like how google translate replaced the low end but we still have human translators for high end stuff

It’s still lower level than a business analysis though so it’s not the same

Performance of the game is much more important than download time Its really common to sacrifice disk space for runtime perf For gamers 100GB is not a big deal, CoD is like 200GB and its extremely popular

Tech people underestimate how much gamers care about performance You see that a lot with all the game streaming platforms like Stadia There's a whole mainstream culture of custom building PCs to maximize performance/value and YT c

Knowing how governments do this stuff its going to be something lazy/easy to bypass like a list of stl files/hashes that are banned

Also don't they require real metal parts anyway?

Are you treating it like a genie to build huge things in one shot or working on small incremental changes? I’ve found the latter works way better

by ex-aws-dude 4mo ago
Because you don’t need a separate app for that You can just do it in the chat interface People do that all the time now

Yeah there is always more to these stories

That would be dumb but I don’t think it should result in firing still

Maybe the policy is that you can’t just release 20% time projects publically?

Oh my god if you’re asking that question you’re on the wrong site

As someone who plays a lot of both I would say it still is I constantly encounter indie games that are only on PC, for example Satisfactory, Chained Together, Last Call BBS Steam is still way better for indie stuff

Its not just about the tech, you have to have non-technical artists using this thing every day

Interested in this as perforce is pretty terrible a lot of the time It’s like anything you do has to talk to the server Even something as simple as diffing a file will just hang if there are server issues

I don’t think the distinction is actually that interesting as you could call any piece of software a spec

That’s why I don’t understand asking “why” an agent did anything It’s not like some sequence of internal thought process

Listening to someone tell you about their AI-coded project is like listening to someone tell you a dream they had last night "and then this happened, then this happened, then this feature, then this feature" Wow that's crazy.

Lol where can I read this sci-fi book? But seriously my whole team is using LLM tools and not a single person has been layed off. Productivity doesn't even feel that much higher in terms of number of features shipped. I think the reaso

I hate to repeat a cliche but correlation != causation
86.
by ex-aws-dude 4mo ago
Why would you assume that’s from AI You talk to any SE and it’s obvious we’re not running out of work to do since these tools became available

I mean that’s AGI confirmed right?

The whole idea of an app becomes a much more fluid and transient thing Everyone can have their own “view” into the data

I've always used notepad++ with one single giant .txt file for taking notes with dividers separated for each day so I codified that practice into a desktop app Just a super minimalist thing where each day is one .txt file with the newe
