The other day I used the JetBrains AI to write some boilerplate code for me. The JetBrains AI code analyser then kicked in to tell me how poorly written the code was.

As a non European working for a European company, it is an interesting experience with non work times. The laws around working more than 8 hours a day are incredibly strict, and the company and all the managers will never ask or expect an employee to work more than the 8 hours. Even if you are on call and end up having to work, you have to then take time off during the week to “make up” for the time you worked while on call.

Yet I’ll be on call over a weekend trying to fix a problem at 2am, and my colleagues who aren’t on call just drop in to help because they saw the alert and felt like helping out.

It is like people want to actually positively contribute to the well being of the company when they are able to, because the company doesn’t try to drain every bit of will to live from their employees and respects that they are real people with lives.

Ah, you talking about Second Breakfast!

I call it breakfast

You don’t need to hack anything, you can use Binfmt_misc to tell the kernel how to load windows binaries

Yeah but then Pterodactyls bring that number back down again

Imagine the mess trying to torrent using IP over Avian Carriers

Which signals to investors that there is little to no expected growth. If you aren’t attracting new customers to grow your user base, then you only have the option to milk your existing customers to increase revenue.

That may work short term, but long term it signals a death knell for the company, since as the old customers retire or the studios close down, the new crop of game developers would have been trained on or adopted a different engine so aren’t going to switch to Unity. Eventually they just run out of customers.

That must be fun for people walking past the outside when you swing the door open.

If you are using a packaged version, try compiling it from source. On Arch the package from the repo would just not output and video, but after building from source it worked fine … some of the time.

It is still very hit and miss for me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m really hoping that the new Steam Link VR works on Linux.

What the company likes about the old timer is that because he has been there for 10 years, he will likely be there for the next 10 years to support the complicated system he is creating now. If a younger team member creates something using a modern approach, there is the risk they will leave in a years time and no one knows how the system works.
