I remember when it dawned on my poor team lead that they had gone from being a team lead to being alone and in charge of a massive portion of Unity's systems. Just like me, they're an immigrant. However, they also have a family to consider, so what options are available to them?

Being honest mate, it's not much better out there, the games industry is wall to wall owned and operated by mostly borderline-sociopathic MBAs who are as useful as a chocolate teapot and nowhere near as delicious when you bite into them.

It's sad because I've been using Unity since it was only available on MacOS and it used Boo, but hey, c'est l'capitalisme, nes't pas? And already two prospective jobs that were using Unity ghosted me so hard that I know who I gotta call.

So I shrug my shoulders, and keep studying for my third post-graduate[1] that I can barely afford to get more skills so another useless MBA fuck hires me and pays me a pittance.

Oh! And I switched to Godot too, but that was out of spite mostly.

[1] Insert joke about over-educated millennial

This is why I left the games industry entirely. It's an especially abusive and horrific part of the software industry. Basically, it's become Hollywood.

Kagi is basically now my daily use search engine apart from Startpage.

The bangs feature, where you can use a quick command to search popular sites like Wikipedia, reddit, Youtube, etc is great, and doesn't count towards your search limit.

And I'm really looking forward to using the Universal Summarizer feature which is included with these new $10 rate.

Keep up the great work lads & lasses!

They're typically OK with short term, because anyone can do the job. It just takes being able to tolerate making 100-200 phone calls per day.

A little sales experience is helpful, especially when it comes to how to present a product and how to create a strategy to overcome objections to why a person doesn't want to buy.

It will also help you get used to confidently presenting ideas to strangers--despite & becoming immune to-- the risk of rejection.

And I 105% assure that that system was the most secure in the entire county... And also unusable. And when that lad retires or someone in their office kills them out of sheer desperation, hopefully they'll be replaced by one of these new fangled engineers who might not know about vi, but they at least care a little bit about their users(Not a lot though, we're still engineers)

It’s SO inefficient in comparison to Vim, VSCode, or tons of other alternatives.

If it’s the only thing on the box, fine, but in reality usually Vim is the only editor installed.

But I am MUCH faster and more efficient with nano than I am vi/vim/emacs. My text editor of choice is like my IDE of choice, it shouldn't be a problem at all for anyone to just accept that I'm getting my work done in a different application.

After an hour wading through the docs I found a mention of evim:

---

This manual is about using Vim in the normal way. There is an alternative called "evim" (easy Vim). This is still Vim, but used in a way that resembles a click-and-type editor like Notepad. It always stays in Insert mode, thus it feels very different. It is not explained in the user manual, since it should be mostly self explanatory. See |evim-keys| for details.

That's what you mean?

And a lot of those comments sound like whoever is handling project management uses Agile as a dogma rather than a toolbox to be modified as needed.

I don't think I've ever come across a project that uses "pure" agile. It'd be pretty insane. Right now I use a mixed approach that uses: * Requirements * User stories * Use cases(IBM style) * Planning Poker * UML * Sprints(Both 1 week and 4 week sprints) * Burn-Down charts And a bunch other I'm probably forgetting.

It also sounds like their project managers aren't actually managing them, but rather delegating the management to their developers.

I used to have a producer that said that every second an engineer wasted faffing about in JIRA was a second not spent solving an issue, so he tried to automate reporting as much as possible and wanted us to only raise an alarm if something didn't go as planned.

I quite liked this approach and I'm planning on using a modified version for a future project, so I guess I'll soon find out if it works :D

The repo: https://github.com/openfarmcc/OpenFarm seems like it has all the info, and honestly, this doesn't need to be a bloody website, a bunch of MD files with links between each other and hosted on GitHub would be far easier to maintain and extend. If you want to get posh, have it use Jekyll.

Neat weekend hackathon for a group of students or similar, mind you.

We really f'ed up the web didn't we?

Its funny I also missed it on first reading, which tells me have far this has gone.

The web, internet, www, etc literally was a bunch of markup documents linking to each other. That is what a website was. Its even in the name of its language: Hyper Text Markup Language.

Wouldn't it be funny if browsers started rendering markdown and we got to re-create the original simplicity (and ambiguity) of the web this way.

We can start with browser plugins for rendering markdown.

I wonder how fast a community could learn Toki Pona if that was the only way of communicating and nothing else was allowed? It'd be interesting to see who has less and more difficulty sectioned by age, culture, education level, etc...

Also worth mentioning that Toki Pona was created by Sonja Lang(a fellow Canadian <3) during a period of depression. Here's her main website where you can see more of her work: https://www.lang.sg/

Semdom.org (and/or rapidwords.net) has some useful checklists if you're looking to create a comprehensive vocabulary or map concepts across existing ones.
