Right. That's exactly what I'm claiming, that the EU has to become more like a confederation, more closely integrated than it is now but less integrated than modern federations like the USA or Germany. Closer to the early USA (whe

The solution is to make the EU more like an actual unified economic and monitary union- with a central fiscal authority, unified public debt, all member states joining the Eurozone, unified tax system, etc.

Keep in mind the market was completely different in 2023 (especially early in the year) than today.

I honestly dont really understand age descriminating against someone in their 50s (even 59) - you've got a good chance to retire within a decade, but most people dont stay at the same job for longer than a few years anyway so why does

It wasn't covid - it was the post-covid coming down from all the free stimulous and ZIRP. The Russian war in the Ukraine is a much closer market to when the economy started tanking for devs.

"The Web" and "E-Commerce" ended up being quite gigantic "unmet niches" though!

Great documentary, highly recomended. Small correction: it's not specifically about the game Adventure but about the genre it spawned, Text Adevntures (later called Interactive Fiction )

Also not exclussively American. Plenty of selfish assholes where I'm at as well, I suspect this is a world-wide phenomenon.

Yeah, I too was wondering about that comparison...Programming in TS is more pleasant (to me) than JS.

It’s not a genre I care about so I don’t know. What I’m saying is that discoverability is bad but the supply is there. You need to work to find it. I find the games I like most via recommendations on genre-specific subreddits and discord se

Don't you see a pattern around first person shooters, real life 'simulators' built on repetitive OCD grind, and a general sense of sameness? In short, no. There were >19,000 games released on steam this

Wasn't UU an RPG rather than an adventure game?

I think it's mostly that you're no longer interested in computer games and as such aren't aware of what's currently available. IMO there has never been a bigger and more varied supply of good games as there are today, in

using claude code via the VS Code plugin gives you side by side diffs as it works.

Is it because it's picked unripe so it doesn't spoil in transit? I'll bet for people who live in Chile the red cherries they get locally taste great.

They tried that, e.g. "EA Originals"[0] is basically that (there are similar programs at other major publishers). I suspect it proved to not be a big money maker at the scale required to move the needle at publishers of that size.

The more people you add the slower you get, not faster. Large companies are nutorously slow moving (and particularly slow to change directions) vs small upstarts.

"Let's just all make Clair Obscur/Minecraft/Blue Prince" is not a repeatable strategy (every indie dev is trying to make good games). How much did it cost to make the Beatles' albums? A piano, drums, a couple o

Ive honestly never intentionally visited it (as in, went to the root page and started following links) - it was just where google sent me when searching answers to specific technical questions.

not necessarily how inherently good you are That said, being inherently good also helps. I know (several) people who knocked it out of the park with literally their first attempt out of university in their early 20s. It wasn'

LLMs are particularly good at web development (granted that's a big market), probably due to a lot of the training material being that.

I'll have to think harder to come up with the exact number, but I've had approximately 3 Android phones and 3 iPhones in my smartphone-career (changed phones more often in the beginning than at the end). iPhones just last longer (

The Trabi was made of duroplast. Sussita, the only Israeli car (similar vintage) used fiberglass (only slightly better). I guess both had the advantage of being lightweight (and cheap).
