Cause of death: 15 minute long pre-push hook

Meets the acceptance criteria, push it to production

Ironically, this was contadicted in the same documentary by the Half-Life devs when they were talking about Xen and how they were aware that it kinda sucked but the deadline was coming up…

kd45,

Is this kinda like how our management team calls the ‘users’ table in our DB the ‘Identity Store”?

kd45,

How long do you expect a platform that leeches off of YouTube’s infrastructure while blocking ads to keep existing? I’m surprised it has lasted this long.

Me: important meeting, better be sharp

Brain: best I can do is sweaty armpits and forgetting what to say

If you cannot tell the difference between an exception and a failed assertion, you may need to re-evaluate your career choices

kd45,

As if those toothless nitwits use mouthwash, give me a break

kd45,

That every TV show and movie seems to re-use the same sound effects. Always takes me out of the story when I hear the same crying baby or fake “car clunking and breaking down” noises for the 1000th time.

Devil’s advocate: basically the only proper way to figure out how people are using your product and how you can tweak it to achieve its goal is by firing events and including relevant metadata such as how much time they spent on a screen or how far they scrolled. Telemetry is not necessarily “evil” by default.

It this supposed to be some shocking revelation? They are literally an advertising company

I’m not a violent person but it sure would be nice to wake up one day and read a headline that says “Andrew Tate beaten to death with brick wrapped in barbed wire on live TV”.

Ah yes, the YokelMobile 3000 with the optional Yee-Haw 1500 package.

Half-Life was a game changer when it came out.

First-person shooters in those days were basically just spawning in a level, shooting generic bad guys and picking up loot. Half-Life had this insane story and they didn’t use any cutscenes or take away control from the player except to load the map, the whole story was told through the environment you explored and the characters you interacted with.

Even 20 years later, people are still having discussions about who the G-Man works for, or whether Dr. Breen (HL2) was a good guy.

kd45,

We might work at the same company lmao. My laptop is borderline unusable due to all the monitoring garbage despite having really fast hardware
