Where are we seeing this? I'm a manager at a mostly WFH company and we don't fall short on this.
Big thing is this was never an office based company, WFH is in the DNA from the co-founders and while we regroup occasionally, remoteness has not affected our ability to grow and build meaningful things. One could argue that we might do better if we were an office based company but as far as I know there's no data out there showing that this would be the case.
That's got nothing to do with Unity. A game being mod friendly is 100% a dev decision.
For an example look at Cities: Skyline, lots of big mods and it's a Unity game.
- memcache had little to no observability, it made debugging cache issues a nightmare. Redis on the other hand is a dream to work with on that front, from the cli that is well thought out to the fact you can copy the db file to your machine and go at it, it's just a much better developer experience.
- Data structures, Redis' lists, hashes and sets meant we could represent a lot of a stuff as is in cache with no need for costly serializing. It also meant the data layer code was simpler than the memcached equivalent.
- Built in pub/sub, we used it for tons of stuff and the fact it came built in was big as prior to that we had to provision specific stacks to get the same functionality (and it wasn't has nice to use.
memcache has its use but for the little advantages it gave (perf wise) Redis just buried it in developer experience.
What creative explosion? Trash news sites, social media? The world would be a better place without any of these.
If it says so it must be true. There's no data in that post, just platitudes management like to use about collaboration and creativity that is absolute BS.
Shame I left the company I was at during the pandemic because I could dig the data but there was a very clear 20% sustained benefit in terms of productivity when WFH: faster to close tickets, bigger releases, less bugs. Did culture suffer? Yes. Did it matter, no, because culture is some vague notion only HR and senior management cares about, or at least pretends to. They still mandated RTO in the end, which cost them half of their more senior engineers, positions they still have not managed to fill, what a surprise when you want to force people through unproductive hoops.
I now work in a remote first company and in 16 years of career it's the most productive team I've been part of, shit gets done at all levels more so than in any other company I've been part of.
Disclaimer: Not claiming anything about whiteness, just saying that it's not as uncommon as you might think. Specially in Europe.
Slagging PHP and then saying this just means you are trolling which is not exactly welcomed on HN.
Mostly for work to be done on a house, and otherwise to get around the absurdly low limit on bank cards.
They made an SDK to create installers for Windows that was used by 3rd parties with nefarious means. Said SDK/toolkit has been discontinued for years as well.
Hardly makes them a malware/adware company...
If the business wants a stable and well working application, prioritise it as part of regular dev work. As a dev this is certainly not my problem.
Something like pénible for example doesn't feel quite equal, more something I'd use to describe someone. Bassinant would not quite feel as heavy as well. Barber/barbe may be.
Overall chiant/faire chier is just much more common and conveys the meaning quite well and accurately when it comes to work.
Rest of the day was just me sitting in a cold space, on an uncomfortable chair, with an inadequate desk setup. I lost 2h30 of my day to get there.
Luckily my employer was always remote friendly and it just works so why change.
DailyMotion tried and failed.
A placement that has high first play rate but a terrible 5sec event firing will just be worth nothing. In a programmatic world it means you'll get little to no bids for it or a default placement with payment in the fraction of cents per thousands.
CV padding developers, big names shilling for their stack, companies pushing their tech, ... The industry is a mess and it's very hard to find a job that doesn't involve dealing with it.
The lockdown is not stressing me, if anything I'm the happiest I've ever been (no commute, more time with my wife, ...), but when I go on my daily walk the struggle can be very real when it wasn't a year ago: shortness of bress, tightness in chest when going uphill. Not every day, but some days it's just there with seemingly little to trigger it.
I also use to cycle about 150km/week, I can barely last 20 min on the bike now. Even during my worst period of anxiety cycling was not an issue, if anything it always made me feel better.
Anecdotal for sure but I'm not sure stress/anxiety is a factor of significance
I don't see how describing reality is a pessimistic take.
In terms of prefab log cabin, any pointers you could share? (Even if portugal specific)
Thanks
If your engineering team is the one pushing in that direction I'd reckon the company was in a bad spot to begin with to have hired that team because it strongly indicates that the management layer (head of tech/CTO) has no technical clue.
Hire strong Lead Developers with a proven track record of delivering value to companies they worked at and you'll be mostly fine.
Also there's not much to study, in 99% of the cases in a web based startup if your stack deviates from a monolith with one of PHP/Ruby/Python/.NET/Go + Mysql/Postgres/MSSQL you're doing it wrong.
Not downplaying, I've had bad episodes of flu that left me low on energy for weeks, want to see how that compares and if it's been looked into (I expect not given recency).
My recovery from Covid in March was about on par with a bad flu, was late April until I felt good again and was back to normal on a physical level.
