Anything else, dude. Let’s do without the propaganda that programming is a cushy job, and any other job is menial underpaid grunt work.

Yeah, the people that recognize progress is through effort and mastery, and those that would gladly do away with effort, quality be damned.

So the choice is squeezing every ounce of productivity out of me I didn’t even know I had before, burning myself out faster for likely the same amount of money (I doubt you are earning 20x) and not even having the pleasure of coding but jus

Is there an actual SaaSpocalypse, or just people saying it is going to happen? Because I haven’t seen it with my eyes, and it’s not like business owners are flooding to HN to complain how AI has killed their business.

An app that you now have to maintain. The point of spending $5 a month is not to have to deal with that hassle. It makes zero sense to do it to save money. SaaS customers really aren’t in the business of SaaS cloning. The only people that

Every year it’s The Rest is History. Every time I feel daring and try something new, I regret it. Nothing comes close.

Craft > sales. Great craftsmanship always sells, so in the long run it is not a bad investment. If your goal is to sell a game in 3 months, sure, but not even Unreal Engine will magically turn a rushed game into a good product. 90% of th

I’m new to game dev and been developing a 3D engine for my game after dabbling with Godot. I read a lot of opinions on whether it is a good idea and it all boiled down to ‘my god, no, don’t write your engine. That said, I did and I am sure

I remember visiting London and being surprised that pubs would close at 11pm and night life, outside of clubs, would pretty much die. In the largest city in Europe! Mad stuff. When I moved back to Italy I had forgotten that shops close betw

Great work as usual. I wish I were half as productive as Devine Lu Linvega. Perhaps I should get a sailboat and spend my time hacking without distraction, but I am not a fan of the seas.

Sorry to say, we shouldn't really base our opinion on drug safety from people who accidentally overdose or are generally reckless with drugs. There's people who drink for the first time and end up in the hospital. If you want to d

All they have to do then is say that they license you a game, and you're not buying anything, despite paying for it. They already do that with online games.
