It's not that I think Andy Grove is a bullshit artist, it's that I'm pretty sure the person assigning the OKRs isn't Andy Grove.

Easy to say if you live somewhere without winter. AI models are a LONG way off from the kind of driving you need in near-whiteout conditions.

The problems in this game are vastly overstated. I've been playing for a couple weeks and it's great.

Does my framer ate occasionally drop? Yes. Does it matter? No! It's Cities Skylines, not Counter Strike.

Most executives are covered by Errors and Omissions insurance which protects them from personal liability.

Yeah but they also directly accused him of lying. You don't do that in a planned transition.

So disable the lining rule with a comment? That way you don't accidentally commit it.

I find throwing an error that says "not implemented" to be a good solution. Or at least logging a warning.

Space Cadet pinball is a fair game. Real pinball there are magnets under the playing surface that direct the ball and control whether the player loses the ball or not.

There are a ton of development tasks that I do infrequently enough that I have to google how to do them every time, because I forget how to do them.

For those things, I can just ask Chat-GPT to write the first draft of it, and it saves me about 80% of the time. I always have to end up doing a few edits, but it works out.

Also dropping in an indecipherable page of logs and immediately getting the source of an error with at least a suggestion of a direction is really useful.
