Appliances etc are not part of the building cost (at least not here - in Germany you buy a home and then you buy appliances). The cost of the home without appliances is also much higher. And it’s not just compared to the 50s, it’s also comp

> the lack of tooling and resources did not allow for these concepts to flourish back then. Alternative take - game design also improved a lot in the last 30-40 years. You could have made these games in 1990, but you would have had to

I think “never” is an exaggeration (sort of his writing style), but all those centuries/millennia of person years invested in Unity really did result in a lot of built-in functionality that Godot understandably will take a while to imp

Sometimes you can’t! If your business is making PC games you probably can’t avoid depending on valve. I’d you’re making mobile games iPhone is often the much more profitable platform than android and so without Apple you’ll go out of busine

If you don’t mind asking - what is the order of magnitude for your perception of “high $ gig”? I’m asking because I’ve seen wildly different opinions on what people consider highly-paid (from $100k+ to $1.5M)

As someone whose done a lot of hiring (at several companies), senior devs with a lot of (applicable) experience can always find work even if they’re “old” (40/50/60+). But career changers will have a rough time - e.g. I remember a

There was probably a lot of slack at twitter, but as an outsider it's incredibly hard to correctly identify who is the slack and who is doing real work (and a lot of people are somewhat in-between) in such a short amount of time. Musk

During our visits to England, in both Nottinghamshire and Sussex we had great (albeit not very varied, healthy or interesting) local cuisine. I was actually surprised, as I was aware of the stereotype that English food is terrible!
