Where did the guy even bark? He publicly praised Unreal Engine 5. Also, why does he have to be working on an engine? He has worked on some others and is one of the few with enough credentials to criticize. In this case he’s not even critici

Did you had fun knocking this strawman? Nobody said or implied that you need to eschew libraries and write everything from scratch to achieve performance, and it is frankly a very dishonest way of conducting this conversation. Especially co

It is possible to have the cake and eat, meaning: have performance and be first, as has been shown recently by Casey Muratori himself in a very public debacle. People who care about performance also care about speed of development. The only

He's not currently working on an engine per se (at least not publicly), but he's has a streaming channel where he teaches the fundaments needed for understanding and potentially being able to build one.

That's a gross simplification of how the market of games works and why people buy them. Plus, you're claiming that both AAA and mobile are money-grabbing schemes where performance and features affected by performance don't ma

You're repeating advice for people with zero experience in making games, which is fine. But it doesn't have much to do with this discussion. Casey Muratori is not teaching people how to make an indie game or an AAA. He's teac

He’s not doing that to engines in this case, though. The quote in the article is complimentary of UE5. And whenever he complained about bloated tools he put his money where his mouth was, depite people claiming it was impossible, or that it

Not in NYC, but I've seen cab drivers auctioning rides by asking "who will pay more" after some events. At airports I've definitely had my share of drivers asking multiple passengers where they're going so they coul

I don't know if this is true in all cases. In some countries, Taxi apps showed up before Uber, a few of them enabling negotiating the cost beforehand, and Uber still managed to capture a lot of the market. Sure, those apps might have b

Yep. Maybe just forbidding enumerating environment variables in the runtime would be enough for this case. However the CI shouldn’t have backend-only private variables available to frontend builds… some separation here would be safer regard

Is is a bit more nuanced than that. This web client needs access to non-secret keys that are passed via environment variables. This is absolutely commonplace. However there are two real issues here: first, some bug in the code is causing

That’s not critics, though. Grammy voters are people who work in the music industry. To qualify you even need creative or technical credits. I bet that critics in 1989 overwhelmingly preferred Metallica’s album to Jethro Tull’s, which at th

The problem in Javascript is localized. Lots of extremely important foundational packages like React, Vue, Typescript, and even ones like Prettier don't really have lots of dependencies. The biggest culprits of the craziness are things

This comment displays a lot of ignorance and prejudice. "JS people" have not been reinventing much at all. Operating Systems aren't even close to offering what "JS people" needs at the granularity they would benefit

Well, for what is worth, we have a lot of dependencies maintained by Microsoft of all companies, with lots of production-breaking bugs and they're not too interested in fixing or letting us fix. Even getting fully-functional PRs (with
