Rust dev, I enjoy reading and playing games, I also usually like to spend time with friends.

I agree for the most part
It’s just I wish indie could somehow be a developer that also receives enough money during the making of a game. Because passion is often not enough, and it doesn’t seem like that’s impossible because there’s no money to give ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t know if what I said makes sense 😅
I wish you were right, but it may be so that things have changed quite a bit in forty years since Nintendo happened. Indie games of huge quality and popularity still happen, but it looks like they take a lot more time and effort
Yeah, it makes a nice deception, and is legally ok, or at least they thought so
In the long run everything might be false, even your own memory changes over time and may be affected by external forces.
So, maybe there will be no way to tell the truth except when experiencing it firsthand, and we will once again live like ancient Greeks, pondering about things.
To be fair, I hope that science and critical thinking might help to distinguish what is true or not, but that would only apply to abstract things, as all the concrete things might be fabricated
Not trying to become an expert in everything was the most important decision I made so far, I think
I half agree about fun, think it depends on how often clients want some weird shit done yesterday, it becomes a nightmare if it happens too often :(
The biggest scam about programmers is they barely program
He’s got a point, though, the further you go, the less time you spend inputting code. Although some people prefer to continue going head first and then remaking everything.
We used BigBlueButton in a team, even had someone connect it to SIP, I think
For the most part it just worked, a great product
Although you’re correct, I find fediverse lacking in the department of the more niche stuff, e.g. fandoms of specific games, communities by geo proximity, obscure hobbies.
But well, Reddit wasn’t like this from the start and I hope the diversity and smaller communities will be here instead of there with time.
It’s just an old rant, some people can’t get over the fact systemd exists
