Graphics Programming needs to be restructured.
There’s a lot of focus on API driven learning. Vulkan, D3D12, 11, etc.
Wrong approach.
Learn fundamentals of what the hardware is capable of. For each feature, write down a few ideas of how you could use it by itself. Write down a few ideas of how you could combine it with other features. Think of “I want to do X. What features can allow me to do that?” The APIs, although they are not easily interchangeable, use the same hardware and can often do the same things with a bit of effort.

We currently have more grown up kids than we do adults. Between the internet, porn, video games, and dude weed lmao, the typical adult is placated and ignorant of their surrounding, existence, potential, and future.
It’s a lot easier to sit there and watch the Colbert Report deliver a sick burn than it is to care and work towards change. Online karma points are the equivalent of gambling reward spikes. It’s all gamified bullshit.

Sounds like it was actually effective overall then.
