I wouldn’t recommend staying with a company for 17 years. That’s for sure. Best way to get stuck in a company specific niche skill that is not transferable. For the reasons stated you got to keep yourself positioned well skills wise and relevant so you can jump into any role you need at any time.

Integrity is not for the company. It’s doing things the way you think they should be done and earn your own respect.

I would say all companies don’t replace with cheaper. Many do. Especially the shitty ones. It’s quite easy to avoid those like the plague. Many did, and learnt the hard way, many have staff that have seen failed outsourcing and are in a position to influence that.

Soloing knowledge doesn’t keep you safe though as the penny pinching companies will remove anyway and clean up later regardless. It does not keep you safe. It’s a false sense of security. Complacency is a death sentence in software development.

Professional integrity. Have you ever worked for a company that got screwed by a consultancy? Vendor lock in and charging scandalous amounts for little offer.

You are paid for your skills and your time. If you’re confident in your ability and impact, you shouldn’t have to be worried.

I’m not saying sacrifice for yourself for your company, and if they are a shitty company that would replace you with cheaper, get out, but also, giving nothing for the pay you get is a bit dishonest, and then you are no better than them.

Plus, you make the case that hiring people is bad and paying a consultancy is less risky.

Of course Jared didn’t document anything and made themselves a bus factor. Real success is when Jared makes themself replaceable because hiding detail and making yourself critical is the best way to take a site down when you’re on holiday and prevent other team members stepping in and taking ownership.

Top tier testing!

Garbage in, garbage out. Keep feeding it shit data, expect shit answers.

In agile development. You do a little, release. Otherwise it is too big and may never be done. The fact they committed resources to improve this is a positive. The hope is they build on it and add more options.

However, if they get trashed for trying, they and many other companies may not try. Why spend money to get a bad reputation when the spending nothing creates less I’ll will to the company. That is ultimately the decision Product Owners and Designers will weigh up.

I think for progress, the best approach is maybe “positive first step but more options are needed for non-bonary for this to really make players feel comfortable”.

From a technical perspective, separating pronoun hard coding from the models gives more scope to give more options in the future, however, as someone mentioned, there is a lot of art work needed on assets and animations so the new shapes function the same in all cases.

It’s unfortunate they couldn’t use a Euro figure which would have made it much clearer.

Are you a recruited? JavaScript is not Java.

Really ain’t writing code in termux. I want an IDE. Why use a substandard device?

Programming? Nah. It’s a consumption device, not a creation device.

That era was peak Pro Evo.

Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.

Ah interesting. Appreciate the clarification. Not seen much from Beehaw in a while.

Lemmy.world has a higher percentage of questionable users for sure.

Separate point, but are beehaw now not defederated from the world? When did this happen?

Do questions really need to be answered outside of work time? Are blockers identifiable in advance so a plan can be put in place. Not many things need to be done outside work hours and team members can cover vacation if something desperately needs to be done.

I use OpenSuse for gaming. A great distro.Highly recommend. An up to date kernel, stable and just works.

Had bad experiences with Manjaro so personally wouldn’t recommend.

Lol nah. But Lemmy world has a somewhat rude intolerant moderation policy and often users mirror that. There is good people on there, of course, but a reasonable percentage of folk who’d be at home on reddit and Xitter.

A few lyrics from NoFX come to mind.

“Kick back, watch it crumble See the drowning Watch the fall I feel just terrible about it That’s sarcasm, let it burn”

"Where did all their money go?

Don’t we all know? Parasitic [gaming] industry As it destroys itself We’ll show them how it’s supposed to be"

"Dinosaurs will slowly die And I do believe no one will cry I’m just fucking glad I’m gonna be There to watch the fall

Pre-Historic [gaming] industry Three feet in La Brea tar Extinction never felt so good"

Switch a few words and it works perfectly well.

Gamers need to realise it’s all about the indies. Buy indie, screw AAA. Watch them grow and hire those talented folk that deserve better than this bullshit.

So you created an echo chamber more familiar to what you know? I get lemmygrad and hexbear isn’t for everyone but don’t see a reason to ban. Lemmy.ml existed before the influx so has a mix and shouldn’t be generalised.
