i enjoyed reading it thank you

https://youtu.be/QR6iFVj_xHw?feature=shared Here's a good webinar with some visualization if you're interested in learning more.

This absolutely impacted my previous job at 100-150 employee company where everyone was either a dev or researcher. They had to do a hiring freeze.

This is my employer... were freezing hiring for 5 yeara

I can say my game(s): https://wdpauly.medium.com/trade-economy-and-supply-3a9eff92... fall into the scope creep issue, but at the same time the complexity and scale is what makes it so interesting. If you enjoy tech/programming then making something addictive and fun may not be the point so much as the mental simulation you get from the project as a whole.

I mean everyone is unaccomplished compared to chris sawyer for roller coaster tycoon :)

Most software projects are forgotten pretty quickly though, so if you're looking for a longer impact on life in general, consider the community you live in. plant a tree. clean a highway. Software dev is ephemeral, and most software rockstars aren't even known outside a small circle.

I logged in purely to say those are pretty ridiculous interview questions. At least the second question is ridiculous. Idk why people think riddles are a good evaluation for the actual job.

Shout out to [zig](https://github.com/ziglang/zig) as a modern alternative to C.

yep its great and very active

nice. i use this library all the time myself.

oh it's not? is it at least deterministic on the same architecture (ignore float precision) or is just inherent to the implementation?

if someone's gonna invest in these idealistic projects, I'd rather see someone invest in tech cooperatives based on block-chain, or just employee cooperatives in general.

yea if you want to prepare for a doomsday, #1 priority is meet and know your neighbor.
