That reminds me of the original Xenogears that had a 20+ minute unskippable cutscene before a major boss fight. Took me like 10 tries on that shit and I would just let it run and walk away until the fight started. Such nostalgia!

Are you ready for the future!? https://devinterrupted.substack.com/p/inventing-the-ralph-wiggum-loop-creator

I have to write the job description for my replacement and its a Principal engineering position. Not that I care I know they can't match my offer. But I feel somewhat validated by it.

Well I am a little upset. Hianime worked a lot better than these other trash sites. Yes I know Nyaa works fine but I don't want to deal with that shit most of the time.

I'm not a gay old man from the midwest thanks. That said I am happy to be moving to work in tech but not for a tech company. This is a solidly blue collar industry where they just happen to employ software engineers as well. At this stage of my career I do value working for a company where I...

Just found out this new office doesn't allow flip flops. This is a violation of my constitutional rights! This is mostly what I am doing. Indexing the docs to the agent that I would be writing anyway.

Gay.

Yeah this is me. I need to get around to playing this more.

Make her level up by playing the game. God damn.

I love Sentenced to Be a Hero. But I find it perplexing that the heroes are by far the most capable individuals in the entire kingdom. None of the Holy Knights are anywhere near them in skill. I get that getting the Dark Souls life as a punishment forces them to serve forever and all but its...

For the sake of argument let's assume Paw is equivalent to Lower Guk and Sol B. How much traffic do you think Paw is going to get?

Modern tooling makes game creation easier. Everyone knows this. That is why we are discussing game design based on what they said and the state of the game as we interact with it. Not sure why you're not getting that. The retards here are correctly identifying that there currently exists...

If you like puzzles Myst was appealing.

Okay lets just look at Guk and Sol B. These are absolutely wonderfully designed dungeons. They have stood the test of time and remain great dungeons. Great loot, great aesthetic, genuinely prime MMO design. For the sake of argument let's hope they have 5 dungeons of this size and quality...

I have genuinely loved working at this company. I just outgrew it and don't want to wait out how long it will take to create the role above me for the 5th time. I have been the first person in every single role I have had at this company, as I was like the 180th employee. While it was full on in...

While P99 is an okay example anyway its still a shit example of "real world adoption" because it is managed poorly and its a niche retro game. Longterm nolifers were always its audience because its totally free and they have no jobs or anything. They dominate that game yes and its a bad idea to...

This is an interesting discussion because if we look at history here. Blizzard not only listened to the EverQuest poopsockers, they hired them and made them content designers. Which of course led to runaway success. When the next contender for MMO tried to replicate this by also listening to...

Everything aside this discussion ignores the herd of elephants in the room. The metagame in the early 00s was limited to computer savvy people capable of information sharing outside of the game. In addition to advanced computer skills like packet sniffing that is simply beyond the average...

Casuals will not care if Uber Big Cock Dragon is permacamped by poopsockers. They will care if generic class quests similar to Robe of the Lost Circle or whatever that requires no raid/end uber content is permacamped by poopsockers on top of them taking everything else too.

I am way too old for that shit lol.

Hianime is dead. Hit me with the next one please.

They have no idea. Absolutely no idea. No idea how to confirm whatever I give it is even valid institutional knowledge either. Because if they knew they wouldn't have to ask me or the AI.

Here's a new one for ya. One of my offboarding tasks is to setup an AI Agent version of myself for the org. What does this mean? I have absolutely no idea. Best I can figure just keep writing documentation like you would normally do on the way out and spend time writing down all of the...

Because our team owns that AWS account. There is no hard restriction on me firing up any AWS service to solve a software engineering problem. This account has a number of servers and other things that run all of our code doing various things. You can, in just a few clicks, run up $20k (and...

Am I misunderstanding then? It's not actively scanning, but passively logging and still requiring the use of an AWS service to function? I know the reason for this is strings from our equity partner.

For my current job and my new job sales, service, and non tech staff get typical accruement and after 3 years move to unlimited pto. Tech staff get it from the start though.

You tell me dude. Whatever they were doing did populate DNS logs, it just requires Route 53 within the account to do it. No idea why.

Dumbass security team ran some DNS scanning shit across our entire AWS infrastructure. Normally I would not care about this but they ran up ~$8k in our AWS account on Route 53 (Gay AWS Feature ) for the past 3 months. I am pretty dialed on on our services in AWS which run in total about $5k a...

Mermaid. It natively renders in Github which is a big plus, I recently upgraded our docs/erd flow using it because I can just have it in a source controlled code base rather than gay ass confluence and now I have it all automatically pushing to Confluence once merged to my docs repo. Works...

I hate boasting and I am shit at self advocacy in general. But to answer your question I am extremely proficient at all things backend engineering. Especially when it comes to distributed architecture and systems of systems that have no direct connection to each other. When it comes to data...

If you're letting AI do trades with your money on its own. You have gigantic steel balls. You are also a massive retard and there is no hope for you. Ride to Valhalla!

Had an interesting discussion with my director again today (this is my direct manager). @TomServo it looks like I may have quit the two job game, but it won't quit me. He wants to retain me as a contractor to deal with certain things now and again. I said I could only do this in a very limited...

Been putting them freezer hashbrowns in the air fryer. The square McD's style hashbrowns. You can get a box of them for like $5. So good. Highly recommend.

I get that. But it is nice to not have to accrue days and just do what you want. I absolutely fall into the trap of my work ethic leaving me to not take enough days off a year. I have broke free of that more recently and borderline abuse it now. But for years I was the guy who never took...

Yes, no job will tolerate you being gone for months at a time. But you can indeed try I guess. Don't be absurd with this literalist nonsense. No job has unlimited PTO where you can just absently collect your salary being gone all year. Everyone knows that. Unlimited is being unlimited on paper...

In my experience unlimited really is mostly unlimited. If you start taking like 6 weeks off during the year and you're also not crushing your actual work they will start getting on your case about it. Otherwise you can safely take 4 or maybe 5 weeks off during the year without issue. On top of...

The new job has "unlimited PTO" like my current one. Tech hires get unlimited on the first day unlike the pleb workers who require 5 years at the company to get it lol. My current place everyone got it. I don't think I ever really exploited it but I did take 3 weeks off throughout the year not...

I absolutely agree titles are meaningless. But they are market signals no matter what so having them is actually worth money. It just is what it is.

It went okay. My director called me a 10X engineer which surprised me I guess. I know it'll be hard to replace me so I feel for him there. But I asked what I could expect to happen in the next few years and my analysis was pretty much correct. Expansion is unlikely on the team but he thought I...
