Too much Math for not much of a result.

Now that you have learnt Software Engineering, hunting for a job is easy just make 10^10^10^10 job applications.

Yeah, interesting game. Some puzzles are hard. I am interested in the programming of it.

How are the crystals made translucent like that? They almost feel alive. Is this shaders or just assets?

The game looks top down, but is 2.5 dimensional. How is this made? Is it just the assets or something more complicated is done in terms of programming.

STL is amazing and the people that designed it were very smart.

Problem is C++ has many features which I likely won't be able to understand in this lifetime. But using C-style C++ is nuts.

Just the extra of STL is basically the C that C should have been. It's a shame not to have a string type or use brittle macros.

CS students, we wrote syntax on paper during exams. Same could be done.

By BS, i mean tsconfig files and caddy boilerplate.

LLMs made it easy to skip the BS. Once you know programmingh you don't need hours and hours of content. Just the mental model for and you're good to go.

If it weren't for the job losses I'd never want to go back to 2015 or so to go back and forth on SO questions and answers and spend days on a boilerplate issue.

Good idea but hard to get initial users since everyone will be reluctant to share private info with new company.
