The productivity of solo indie game devs is just really impressive.
While I’m aware of the “go fast alone, go far together” quote, I’m depressed by how inefficient app/ui development is at big tech companies compared to game studios, especially short staffed indies.
Really makes me wonder about the “engineering excellence” that tech leads and “architects” pride themselves in when games are developed much more quickly and are - to my eye - much more stable and performant.
