Code Crafters Cafe

Good day to all programmers and just curious to be one.I have been a programmer for over 25 years, started learning in childhood, and still working as a full-stack software engineer. I have seen a lot in this way and always tried to get my job well done. But burned out because find myself in a position where I realized that what I am doing now is not what I intended when started learning...

Rewrite it in C. Great idea. Just do not tell it to rust community...

I like to see that programmers like you still exist and belive in what they do.

Remembered this article... https://drewdevault.com/2019/03/25/Rust-is-not-a-good-C-repl...

The changes into industry definitely coming. But AI will affect not only programming. And handmade products will cost more than autogenerated ones.

Programming started sucks before when companies started to orient on fast income and preferred pure quality templated projects over well-made efficient ones.

This world changes. Many people have nothing to do and with AI amount of them will grow. It scare.

The times when #codecrafters will be as valuable as gold coming... I would prefer to rock into this times.
I hope for discussion. Sorry, I will not do this anymore. Only links, right?

Humble advice for those who want to switch to game development

There are a lot of questions and intentions to move into gamedev from developers who are burnt out at their jobs. And that’s okay. From my own experience, I have a couple of pieces of advice that are not very professional.1. It won’t save you from everything you’re so tired of.Firstly, game development, like other areas, is full of its own nuances and pitfalls. And given that a person gets used...

Reasonable. Thanks for your answer.

The world is full of possibilities, so for sure it's not true and cannot be true for all of us.

Someone moved from C, others didn't move.

I am trying to point not so on C, but on tendention in general. Capitalistic companies dictate to us what technologies to use. Money became a higher priority than engineering.

Can you say to your boss "No, stack you using sucks, I will use X language and libraries"? I know that someone can for sure, but most of us can't.

I have started learning programming with Turbo Pascal. Actually with BASIC. But Pascal became my favorite 25 years ago, and then moved to Borland Pascal, it was magic times - handmade games, algorithms... I felt myself a sorcerer making miracle things. Nowadays I feel myself an outcast in the world of templates, who writes his own libraries for corporate projects.

Thank you for your advice. I have not looked into Pascal long time. Can you advice some resources, repos, communities?

It's time to return to the roots, to the C programming language

Why am I writing this post? Not because I hope for something or believe in change. These are just words. I could write this at the end, but then you would be looking for answers for me while reading, and I don’t need them. They won’t change anything.So here it is. I don’t claim to be a software development guru or a C language expert. I’m just a simple developer.- Why are we looking for new...
