I'd like to recommend Kingdom for an unusually elegant take on these game tropes https://www.kingdomthegame.com/ An apparent city builder at first glance, it lands firmly in "survival" territory. The ultra-s

Disingenuous appeal to the rigor of science followed by several token anecdotes and thick sarcasm. Reactionary reverse cancel culture hit piece, from the usual tabloid.

This relates directly to automated testing. Unit test coverage is important, but equally important are functional tests from the perspective of a user executing real workflows. The full picture of app behavior is invaluable to the new or l

Maybe the two are related. IT work makes demands of your mind but not your body, so we're all up at night, not tired from a days work. I'd imagine manual laborers sleep much more soundly, and are less likely to code in their down

They touch on it, but I think one crucial benefit is the ability to see the scope of software work in general, which in turn drives and defines modern business. Unrealistic scope expectations are a huge problem for business people without t

The "virtue" of totally unmoderated speech is just another value you hold that you're misleadingly not categorizing as a "virtue": You're doing it right now. The very idea of "virtue signaling" is del

Recruiting is a powerful method to reinforce tribalism. The constant rejection isolates and estranges the proselytizer from normal society.

The BLM riots were never terrorism, that's a huge false equivalence so you can give up that attempted re-frame.
