Like AI can tell good code from bad. Just common vs uncommon usage.

Well if the rent and costs are higher than revenue, it’ll bleed and eventually kill the business. Bricks and Mortar stores don’t make as much as before.

How many GameStop shops do you actually need near you? Sounds like your area was oversubscribed.

Many great brands have died to Amazon in the UK. One day, we’ll only have these big shitty businesses. Anything that can keep bricks and mortar stores in business is probably necessary.

Didn’t expect them to be buying eBay though. That came out the blue.

Works on desktop, so would assume multi system.

Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?

I want it to be true.

A distinct lack of integrity. I’ve avoided jobs for companies who I know build nasty stuff. I don’t want that on my conscience. If I’m semi-competent at my job, I’d be enabling the acceleration of that.

Surprised he got as far as he did. Every line of code that touches production should be reviewed.

If it’s shit, fail it until it ain’t. To allow that shows a distinct lack of technical leadership.

You’ve since shown far more and that should build trust. Never trust contractors without verification.

Actually if you cannot be replaced, you’re less likely to be promoted. How could they move you from your crucial work. You also show leadership by upskilling and building a team that is stronger and independent. If you can do that in a small team, you can do that at a larger scale.

If a company operates different, they’re broken.

Don’t let insecurity push you to sacrifice your integrity, you’ll hate yourself more.

That would be very weird in the UK. By teenage years, often they’d want/need their own room where feasible (from Siblings). Probably get bullied for it if folk found out.

Unfortunately…

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Cause the nerds live underground…

I mean, if it’s a bank, they’ve probably got some BS dress policy and it’s chinos, shirt, shoes.

Polo shirts aren’t smart. Folk play tennis in them and the collar is floppy AF. They look scruffier than plain round neck T-shirt.

Technology? They are no more significant than other manufacturers. This is business news. Great business news, of course, but not technology.

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they’ll come.

Feels very AI generated.

If it’s a hobby. Just go for it. Enjoy it. Please and entertain yourself. If you take folk with you on the journey, great.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

China? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you’re doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that’s on you. I don’t think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China… Unless you have a reference… But I doubt it…
