I get what he means and in most points I agree (I’ve worked primarily as a front end dev so far in my career), but as you get more familiar with these frameworks they tend to be so much faster to iterate on compared to a more “cleaner” setup. I’ve seen plenty of situations where using such frameworks were clearly overkill, but were still much faster to setup and were ready to be expanded on if needed in the future. Everything about the package ecosystem on web dev he’s 100% on point though. Things like the left pad situation are insane.

That we’ll probably only know after someone tries to test all the features without an active internet connection

It’s both local and remote, according to their page. There are some activities that run on a “private cloud”. I’d imagine that image creation is one of those

When I was a teen I really wanted to learn Esperanto but never got around to it. Globasa seems extremely interesting though, maybe I’ll finally give one of these languages a try.

The most hilarious part is the drummer stating that most SoaD music is not about politics, and people only think it is because of Serj’s activism

Honestly it varies a lot. I’m the kind of user that would rather have self contained apps (even if electron) whenever possible instead of new browser tabs/windows. So unless a electron app is notoriously bad, I’d rather have it avilable than not

This almost reads like satire

I’m constantly looking for something that could replace discord for me, I need something like the discord screen/game streaming to consider changing apps.

Public/gvt housing.

I wish I’d find something that is as easy and performant as discords in-server screen sharing/streaming.

I’m both curious and clueless about what “geared towards inventory” could possibly mean

Krita does the job for 90% of the edits I ever do.

I agree that they definitely also develop drift sooner or later, but I have yet to see a controller drift as fast as joycons do, with the exception of maybe the first batch of dualsenses that were atrocious for some reason

Something about the way you worded the first paragraph makes it read as if you are stating your opinion and not mocking the reason most people go “Tencent bad”. I had to re-read a couple times to understand it. I do agree with your critique.

I honestly can’t deal with all the theatrics of securing a job (interview and first months/year included). This was a setback at first since when people asked me stuff I didn’t know I’d just say “I don’t know” or at most “I heard this and that but never worked with it”.

Thankfully I ended up at a place that appreciated that frankness and that gives me room (and incentive) to learn new stuff. Every year so far I end up in a new project with different technologies to use and learn. My ADHD brain is extremely satisfied.

I play videogames

Why is that? Most phones allow you to press the shutter with the volume button so it should be easy either way

The one thing I would argue that is a bit “new” is that they had a design paradigm similar to immersive sims on their systems, and that is not so common on these kind of top down rpg.

But yeah, the real “innovation” was just making an actually polished game.

And have it on release

I mean, I’m fairly sure the new client is a web wrapper, either electron or some alternative since the actual application has parity with the web version (I use it at work). If it is redirecting you to an actual browser there’s likely something wrong with your configuration.

Since I use the enterprise version there’s no ads whatsoever. I don’t find it particularly good but it’s decent enough.
