One of my favorite shortcuts!

Anyone know what time tomorrow it's going out?

Btw I'm betting on first patch coming 3 hour after release.

The term "scope creep" comes up a lot, but to be honest that's not happening here.

They have no scope in the first place. No coherent vision.

The say surface-level vision-like things and present scope-like plans, but only as disposable tools to get investment. No single person in that company tries to tie it together to a real scope or real vision, or align development with it.

Smart and capable people work on any random game-like stuff that they find interesting, in the hope that it will all somehow become a complete experience all by itself.

It's like an inverse IQ test

the design settled on the idea that the player is locking themselves in a metal sarcophagus, transcending humanity to become the perfect Factorio machine.

Really good at programming.

I know most programming languages and have so many opinions of them, many angry ones.

Have made many small games, servers, web apps, desktop apps, high frequency trading code, 3D graphics software, random number generator library.

At a company I worked for, I solved their programming test with a hand coded printer document: When printing the document, overly complicated document layout rules would solve the problem on the printer's little computer chip and print out the solution. (Obviously not during the interview, but afterwards for fun.)

Yes it sounds like insane bragging but this is what I do and I am happy about it and proud of it.

That's an unnecessary loaded headline.

He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.

Noclick summary for the less brave among us?

Thanks for clarifying! That makes more sense. :)

Every? None.

It would help to rephrase or contextualize your question, in order to find better answers. E.g. What motivated you to ask? Do you have any suspicions on ubiquitous talents?

Oh this is exactly what I expect from the sun. Plus one vote from me on banning them.

Publications that can't describe things even close to neutrally and factually should be forbidden by law to cover real conflicts.

If it helps, keep in mind that the game is not in a releasable state yet and they are also beta testing the game. Nilaus managed to run into a complete gamebreaking bug that he needed to spend some time debugging with Wube and lost a few hours of progress to restore to a valid state.

A plea for anyone having this happen, be gentle.

It is easy to think a tantrum is because the child wants something and either gets pissed that they don't, or are trying to make a scene to get it.

Sometimes (often?) it is more of a stress and panic reaction. And it can be hard to tell. Even if the tipping point was not getting biscuits.

Whether your reaction is to give in and buy them something, remain very firm that they do not get biscuits today and this is not acceptable behavior, or decide to pick them up and carry them to the car, be a safe and calm presence for them.

"I used to be FAT12, but i ex-ercised."

Sometimes the compliment itself is fine, but other people in the room feel they deserve it more.

"Nice job! You really are the best at X in this company by far!" isn't received well by the two, several years more senior, X-ers sitting right next to me.

The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it's frustrating the term "left" encompasses both.

Something is terribly wrong.

Apologies in advance, because this is in no way an answer to your question.

It is, however, related to the thought and super cool:
