Narrator: Programmers were never not needed.

I am currently playing AC:Brotherhood and Nine Sols. Both are amazing in their own right. Ezio Trilogy is quite special.

Their greed has messed up their perceptions. Just disgusting.

I find that f2p games don’t tend to respect the players’ time as they have to sell microtransactions. Hard pass for me.

Almost as if, your customers will respect you, if you respect them.

Microservices are just a collection of monoliths connected through even more code.

Don’t forget that EA is saddled with 20 billion dollars of debt and it’s board is filled with vultures. As far I can see, EA is going to be gutted and sold for parts. All this talk of creative control is bullshit considering, they are banking on ‘AI’ to cut costs, which is not exactly considered to be creative. Also, I am pretty certain this bet is going to fail hard.

Yeah, EA is completely fucked.

Bullshit. There are many other PC games stores and launchers. Only reason they don’t have lot of users is because they are just not very good. In my view, Valve is not actively trying to establish any monopoly, their competition is mostly incompetent, especially EGS. Of course, I understand that if devs want their games to succeed, they have to play by Valve’s rules, but let’s face it, that’s where customers are. This is not by some trickery of Valve. It’s because Valve happens to be very pro-consumer. So, I don’t agree with the assertion that Steam is a monopoly.

Epic games store could have been great and yet, Epic’s disdain for gamers has caused it to fail. Now EGS is just a glorified Fortnite launcher for the most part.

I am not saying that Steam or even Valve is perfect. They are not. They are just leagues better than their competition.

Me, an intellectual: same.

And failing super hard…

Honestly, I would rather have a great game later than a compromised game now.

Lol…

Good because fuck Microsoft and Windows.

He sounds delusional AF.

I love vibe coding. It separates stupid programmers like me from stupid vibe coding programmers.

I am not a good programmer, but that is purely on my own merits. I can also put effort into improving myself.

Remember when Jensen Huang was saying the same about crypto? I remember.

LLMs are just as likely to replace to people, as crypto made cryptobros rich.

It’s these moments that make life worth living too, you know.

Thank you. That does make me feel happy.

Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to me. I keep trying, but honestly I feel like I have run out of hope. I keep doing things, things I enjoy, like programming on projects I want to do. But, I cannot help but feel like they are all pretty useless.
