I have a BS in Computer Science and whenever I help people pick up programming I notice scope is always one of the toughest concepts for them to grasp. It could of course be a reflection of my teaching ability, but it always seems to be a t

I'm a FTE by day, hobbyist gamedev by night and some of the best advice I got when learning how to do basic pixel art was to start with a small palette and work your way up. Working at 16x16 _only_ has greatly increased by skill since

Agreed. Was supplied two 4ks for my last job and just ended up using so zoomed in it wasn't even like I was using 4k monitors anymore. My ideal setup is two 1440p monitors, but even then I tend to zoom in quite a bit. I also had a cowo

Any advice for getting started with Blender? Been making 2D games for awhile and want to jump into practicing some 3D, of course that comes with learning to model.

It's getting there, I think it's missing the top layer of polish. I've been working with it for a couple years now and it has some bugs that really hinder development speed. That being said, once those issues are fixed I thin

I had this opinion when I first began working with Godot, which regardless of language I've just found incredibly intuitive. I used C#, but kept getting frustrated cause the support isn't at 100% (this is currently expected, I thi

I don't think I'm in a position to answer this (heavily experienced outside the control plane, but not in), but if I had to answer I'd say: Once you don't personally have your hand in every application your company is ru

I don't think theres a comparison there (or I'm just unsure of the point you're making with that statement). I agree, they aren't conceptually complex, but Kubernetes is a large scheduler that _definitely_ benefits from

If you're not going to build the next Facebook, why would you need so much complexity? You don't. I think this is a recent point people are trying to make. Kubernetes makes sense at a certain scale, but for smaller startup

Genuine question (and hoping for your opinion here), why would I use Kotlin over Java? Outside the obvious like developing on Android. I haven't had much exposure to it, but it seems like it has a wider breadth of features and has a qu

Lol that first read is fantastic. const doesn't do shit and we all know it Was a great intro, and absolutely true. Unfortunately I don't think this will catch on, although I agree with the author that it should.

For others confused like me, this isn't one of the cases reported last Friday that were reported as 'doing well.' Seems this is part of a collection of new cases that weren't reported to the public (and still aren't
