Seems like treating the symptoms rather than the disease.

Get rid of dailies and status checks from stakeholders and you dont need this tool in the first place.

But if you can't then it's a nice little project to make ones life a bit less miserable.

Thats funny because I felt like it was a port because of the horrible control scheme. You cant move slower, so you have to tap keys to move slowly, but tapping keys does dashes, exactly the opposite what you would want. Dig around some conf files to fix it. Crouch button is c, but it doesnt work during dialogue, even if you rebind the dialogue skip button that is also c by default.

Its like nobody playtested it at all on PC

We rewrote our frontend in hooks and graphql 1 year ago. Hooks are fine, but graphql is a messy time sink for our usecase.

Very cool. Everyone knew about liero in my childhood. I wish someone did this for wings2, a legendary cave flier from the same era. I owe my interest in programming to the amazing lua scripting API. One summer holiday I helped create a community weapon pack with my friends. Although it was completely imbalanced it was great fun along the normal online play, which was more competetive and skill based. For several years we had a small community of around 20 people playing but sadly it died of in my teens. I wish I had a way to contact all those guys and setup a discord server for the occasional game.

I think it's normal to assume averages when comparing things.

I would be interested in some experiments of average developers learning average plumbing vs average plumbers learning average development. I'd wager theres an order of magnitude difference in the results(time spent, quality etc).

Still you insure your house for those things though. I think you are comparing apples with oranges here.

I'm very annoyed by not attributing the contributors, especially on commercial use.

It's also a joke he designed anything himself. I've seen this exact style of poster for more than 5 years in random shops and ecommerce stores. I wouldn't be surprised if his entire process is outsourced to some generic mapmaking service since they all seem to look exactly the same.

Same as corona, no?

Edit: I'm not arguing it's less deadly than something else but in perspective I think 'mild' is an accurate description.

0.8% of the people you know die every year anyway. If all of the people you know get infected it might bump it to 3%. Not that radical in my opinion.

Having worked with filling shelves, that job felt sometimes a lot more complex than my development job nowadays. The store I worked for didn't in general allow anything extra to be stored in the warehouse. This lead to the filling load sometimes having excess products that you had to fit somewhere. I really enjoyed making space by moving and rearranging products on the shelves. The products came in wrapped in big rollers that contained random products so looking at the roller product list and how they were packaged you had a puzzle to find a nice path that visited all the correct shelves. Occasionally you would have campaigns and such where you could be quite creative in setup and arrangement.

It was the job I have been most satisfied with in my working life. However, I did only do it for 8 months for 6 hours a day. Maybe in the long run it gets more boring.

The variety between shelf filling between different store brands and even different stores of the same brand made me really think no two jobs are the same.
