Indirectly and/or under the hood. What alternatives are there? Terraform?

The submission itself is such a link. Did you even read it, or just dive straight into the comments?

> Recruiting will be disproportionately affected since we’re planning to hire fewer people next year. We’re also restructuring our business teams more substantially.

These are mostly recruiters and biz people being laid off, from all of those companies. Maybe stop spewing panic infused ignorance.

>This process ensured that the NES had only quality games.

Probably some rubberstamp thing then. NES had _plenty_ of bad games though, actually the majority of games published were bad.

See LJN.

There will never be new genres or art or music. Everything has been discovered already. Like colours, they are all already known. Sure you can have a new take something or maybe discover a new subgenre, but the majority is already there. And just because a genre would have a new "name" (just a branding thing anyway) doesn't mean it's not part of some other genre already.

You can't capture psychedelic and or mystic experiences, which are very subjective anyway and yes, rooted in _reality_ or require a reference to _reality_ as they are the so far away from that.

That's just plain escapism or veiled hedonism. There's more to life than enjoying yourself 24/7.

Norway is rich. They have oil. Their government is actually pretty decent with money also.

Sweden is an older country and has been historically pretty wealthy also.

Finland on the other hand... Well, we mostly have have trees and lakes. Our monetary policy consists of taking it up the behind from bigger countries, having sky high rates of taxes on everything, and finally, selling the few natural resources actually worth something to other foreign companies.

While I occasionally dream about working on cars or motorcycles at times instead of sitting in front of a computer all day, I think we tend to forget how good of a career developing is.

When we picture our dream of doing a simple trade, we only think of the most awesome part of that trade. If I'm a car mechanic, most of it too is just trivial oil and tire changes or changing a basic part of two - not working on engines in depth.

Same with programming. We would want to build something cool from the ground up, but we are just piping stuff from a lib to another.

Comparing woodworking to corporate code is unfair anyway. I'd rather compare working at a furniture factory to corporate code, and woodworking to a solo dev project.

The Finnish school system is nice, until you wanna go to college/university.

I think higher education in Finland isn't anything special, if you actually want a quality education you'll have to go abroad (like the actually successful people do here anyway). Even the arguably best schools aren't that good. People mostly coast through them once they get in and just want the piece of paper at the end. Good parties though.

Years later in the work force they'll wake up and see they barely make more money then an electrician with their fancy degree because of the insane tax policies here. What's the point of having a nice degree if you're still gonna have a moderately low salary compared to other European countries?

Are you sure you actually implemented the life you wanted or what was expected from you? Sounds like you had a checklist/recipe for life and you went with it.

The good thing is you have so many doors open now. Do whatever. You're young enough to pick up any hobby or career. Don't think about whether it's financially worth doing or if you're on some "mission" or "purpose". Don't think about whether it's safe or unpopular.

Sometimes the most fulfilling things are inherently worthless. Learn an instrument, buy a motorcycle, make a painting, become a scuba instructor, run a marathon, try drugs, move to another country, sit at a park/cafe and talk with people - you get the picture. You'll find something that clicks, just get out of your checklist view of life.

I can't flag content, for some reason. Maybe I'm not active enough on this site.
