In the game industry, working yourself to death for 4 days, that's called a hot fix ;)

And that is after you've been working 6 days a week for the last 9 months. As an EA spouse survivor - fuck that industry.

“Spouse survivor”, I like that! I worked on the tech/distribution/data reporting side of the Covid vaccine and consider my wife, and all the sacrifices she made and extra things she handled up on while I was on the keyboard and phone, a critical component of my team’s success.

"EA Spouse" is the name is a specific period during the early 90's when Electronic Arts burned out an entire generation of game developers.

People working on the cloud infra are not the people working on games.
