There has been enough evidence to ban TikTok for years. I can't think of any reason it hasn't happened yet other than politics.

It looks like they invested a ton of money on texture optimization and lighting algorithms. However the animations look like the basic skeletal animation / skinning you can learn from an OpenGL/DirectX tutorial. That imbalance is

I have worked at some places where SRE guys were a joy to work with. But at my current place they take a cowboy approach and make my life harder. So I'm currently not interested in building software like an SRE.

This is sadly common in the industry. I recently found out a C-level guy was selling our next thing as a fully automated solution despite the fact it's not even close. It was the rare occasion where he was caught early enough that some
