I would rather google "how to do (thing) in game", than play a tutorial. I've never played a tutorial I enjoyed.

Maybe that’s a good thing, given the skills of most programmers. Imagine how much worse Google and Apple products would be if these people made more changes!

Everyone thinks this is an exaggeration but there are so many software engineers, not just at FAANG, who I know personally who literally make ~2 code changes a month, few emails, few meetings, remote work, < 5 hours/ week, for ~$200-300k. Here are some of those companies:

You want to use OS-specific methods of taking advantage of 64-bit address space. So you allocate a range of the space that is actually bigger than you will ever need, but don’t commit it, so it hardly costs memory (just page table space). Then as you need more memory you just…

There's a very ... special ... software out there installed on a lot of PCs. It's a system service called Nahimic and is used by software such as "A-Volute", which does something related to audio. It basically causes everything to crash. But there's a secret killswitch ...

One thing that keeps me motivated in finishing tasks is simply not telling people what I'm currently working on. Too much talk & feedback from others can trick your brain into experiencing the happiness of completion before the task is actually done. Fight the temptation.


Overwatch Classic is fun, but I would much prefer a separate version of Overwatch 1 client that was released somewhere around the Ana update (right before never-ending spiral of Esports-inspired updates). Also, Overwatch 1 looks better, warmer, lively and could run on a toaster.

Reasons of diminishing returns: 1. 1080p -> 4K = 4x faster GPU for small quality improvement 2. 60Hz -> 144Hz = 2.4x faster GPU for small fluidity improvement 3. Real time vs static lighting 1+2 already require ~10x faster GPU. 3 is heavy too. All this without improving quality.
