I have a Quest 2. It's definitely a massive improvement and I really wanted to enjoy it, but I can't spend more than 15 minutes wearing it without feeling ill. It seems to be getting worse with time rather than better. I played 3

Goodhart's law in effect. I once had a job where a portion of our bonus was related to an automated code quality score. Needless to say, we reverse engineered the algorithm and scripted the (pointless, probably slightly harmful) change

I'm currently working in a team where the average age is around 40 (I'm around the average). I suspect a lot of developers are kind of 'dark matter' developers like me: working with older technologies on internal tools i
