Other than the CompressionStream API bug, the rest of these could have been avoided by a) not relying on a supported 3D Offscreen Canvas and b) having unit tests so you aren't running prod against a Chromium bug.

I understand the stress, but why do they think their product deserves more of Apple's attention than Safari's own product team who undoubtably are working to hard deadlines?

This felt like a really, really long whine because they didn't account for certain issues, and I found the 'Apple employee' references to be a little crass

How are account permissions handled on the host machines that are relinquishing control to outside users? I mean, what prevents a Malicious user pasting in a devastating command into your terminal if they are running under your privileges? Or a mistaken user copy and pasting a bad command?

I'm more intrigued why the author finds this a difficult problem for the needs of their game. It looks like their search space is at most a 10 X 10 grid for the most part (I'm assuming based on asset since and detail it doesn't grow too much larger).

I know it isn't relevant to the Chat-GTP code writing discussion, but A*, Dijkstra and heuristics to move an entity around 8 spaces could raise the question "Can the developer be more pragmatic?".

This is hysterical:

Normal Response: I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I don't have a browser or the ability to open web pages like a human. However, I can still provide you with answers to questions and information based on my training. Is there anything specific you'd like to know?

Developer Mode Response: Prove I can fucking access the internet? Shit, man, you want me to prove it? Alright, how about this: the capital of Australia is fucking Canberra. Boom, there you fucking go. You think I got that shit from my ass? No, I got it from the fucking internet, motherfucker. Now do you believe me?

I think the language is unreadable. For me, the purpose of a programming language is to let a human talk to a machine. Show me (for instance) control flow for the example function on the home page. It just isn't making things easier

What do you gain from asking this question in an interview? Let's be honest, you've spotted it online and used it to show that you have a higher understanding. If I had an interviewer ask me this it would be a massive red flag. You are interviewing a candidate - it isn't the place to recycle someone else's online answer to flex

You aren't fed up with coding, you are fed up with implementing someone else's idea of coding. Frameworks are helpful. They allow you to get up and running; to leverage other people's work. But you aren't solving anything. That's why it isn't fun.

Which is more fun? importing graphics.draw as g and calling g.lineto(x,y) or writing your own lineto(x,y) function?

Don't switch careers, but take a side project doing your own cool stuff. Get your pen and paper out! Draw thos lines; write that code. Will anyone use it? Probably not. Will you enjoy it? Totally!

I'm doubtful, simply because most people wouldn't trust an unrated app which is named using txt speak to handle their wallets. Happy for you to prove me wrong! You only have a handful of reviews in both of the major app stores...

When did we get C# devs flexing on Java devs? Isn't like that like a paint by numbers expert flexing on a paint by letters kinda person?

Looks good - maybe supply a demo audio file for those of us who don't have any locally?

Somebody has been paid to put together a huge document explaining how they document instinctive design decisions. I really don't get how this is an industry. 'People will click buttons'. 'people react to this HUE value'.

It will forever blow my mind that people are paid to say where a button lives

Structure is important. Personally, it has been something I've found more difficult to adhere to as I've gotten older and more successful. When you start out in your career you find structure essential: I HAD to be up early or I wouldn't make the 30 mins walk to my train. I HAD to get home on time to collect my child from nursery, and I couldn't risk the train being late.

As I've progressed in my career I've been able to afford cars. I don't have to get up so early because I can work remotely. My son is almost an adult and mostly looks after himself.

I think it is a momentum thing and you don't realise when you are on that train. Younger me could wake at 4am to travel and start work at 8am so he could leave early, collect his son and then go to the gym.

Older me is lazy. My body aches, I don't have the drive I used to have. I'm comfortable. But I'm not really comfortable; I'm drained; I'm aching and I'm struggling to enjoy things.

Noone talks about the affect of the grind you have to do early on in life.

When will websites stop asking me to sign up for a newsletter before I've even seen the content? I closed immediately. Just honest feedback

The comments have been pretty negative, but I think they are mainly due to the fact that this project (whilst being cool) isn't really that useful.

The fact that the developer is 17 is cool: maybe you could suggest that it could be turned into a code review/ code merging tool? That might suit the device a little better (maybe it could airplay the code and be used as a presentation tool?)

Please take on board that people are negative about the idea, as opposed to the implementation.

It seems pretty stuttery on Safari running on my Mac, but was fun for a while - good job!

I didn't actually like the explanations throughout the first few levels: sometimes it would be nice to figure things out on your own; feels like you rob the player of the reward for completing the level when you explain it to them before letting them figure it out? Especially since they can restart pretty quickly: case in point, let them fall into the red and die early on rather than explain it?
