@knuppelsmurf I’m talking right through. Everything. Even after it’s done. It doesn’t stop.

I was addicted to McDonald’s too (but more their burgers). I recently had my gallbladder removed.

Thank you Ronald!

@Anchor Soeaking if Microsoft tech

@Anchor you’re hurting me.

@Anchor you see that door over there? I’m very slowly walking backwards towards it to leave. haha

@Anchor you’re kidding, right?

@hitko too damn funny! lol

Software development is like a bad relationship where the partner mistreats you but you still can’t get enough of them.

We understand.

I tend to shun folks who don’t use a Magic Mouse. I currently have two you know and might get the black one too just because!

#ItsWhatRichPeopleDo

Just hope your signifiant other is not considering dumping you because of this injury.

@Sid2006 I just want you to know that when you were born I was a (very) young adult.

Yes, I am clinging to the very last vestiges of youth.

Don’t judge me! haha

The wonderfully wonderful. I sat down with one of my personal projects and it was just me and some C++.

“Haven’t spent much time lately with you, girl… You missed me?”

@NoToJavaScript There is definitely an element of greed in it. What happens is that new assets are added called “Seasons” with maybe a tweak here or there to gameplay.

I was a mobile game dev up to 2007-12 and the model for earning money was much better for the gamer then: make a game to be sold at a fixed price, release a new game the following year and charge again.

Literally that simple. It earned money for the studios too!

@iiii I’m actually a pretty hardcore gamer (PS and Xbox), I just play on my phone when I feel like a quick rush.

@CoreFusionX - I like to whip out my phone for a quick session now and again. Back in the good ole days you could just play, but now it’s like “I don’t have enough coins for this or that.

It’s just irritating.

I can explain it… but I don’t want to!

It takes as long as it takes. I have a few 12yo books I only got through the first 20 pages. Might complete them in the next life.

@Wisecrack let’s just say I’m a cleric haha

@bigmonsterlover “will ChatGPT take your job?”, “this is my dev setup”, “top languages to learn in <insert year>”…

It truly is nauseating as you say.

@fruitfcker I find Joma amusing I have to admit, and as for Tech Lead - this guy clear is spewing a ton of bs that he makes sound totally legit to the uninitiated. He does leave me in tears of laughter.

Will check out your other suggestions.

It’s normal. Mere mortals will never understand us.

Look at it this way, this would have been super fast in 1947! I’m a “glass is alway half full” kinda guy.

Great job!

@Oktokolo Good call! But I’m sure the folks looking to get into this industry to earn $300k after a two-week bootcamp will cancel my efforts.

It’s why these content clowns do it.

@Wisecrack Yep, I see these “advocates” and their TikTok-like videos on the latest tool. It’s kinda weird.

@NickyBones Somebody tried to make me use Eclipse too. I hated them just a little.

@NickyBones Oh no you didn’t just say that 😩

@Hazarth I’ll look into that option too.

@bigmonsterlover Wow, I didn’t know about Pulsar - I’ll check it out!

I like Vim too, btw.

@electrineer Nailed it
