I have had similar work contracts.
I want you to be successful. Don’t hurt your future career prospects

Does this mean VSTs will have better Linux compatibility or is that implementation-dependent?
The definition has become more nebulous over time.

The awe and grandeur of Occarina Of Time… at the time.
Disco Elysium is the best literature I’ve ever played.
I still feel like used to live in Skyrim. It was a place where I wanted to be and explore.
TF2/Halo CE multilayer mix of copetitive adrenaline and funny shenanigans
Those are the game experiences which stuck with me.
Accept that quality matters more than velocity. Ship slower, ship working. The cost of fixing production disasters dwarfs the cost of proper development.
This has been a struggle my entire career. Sometimes, the company listens. Sometimes they don’t. It’s a worthwhile fight but it is a systemic problem caused by management and short-term profit-seeking over healthy business growth
One time in the early 2000s, I saw a commercial during Adult Swim on Cartoons Network and I’ve wanted to see it again ever since. It was for Virgin Mobile and it featured Ode to Joy or 1812 Overture plating over quick cuts of mundane objects which turn out to be innuendo… for body parts. I know it wasn’t delusion because I was at a friends house and also though it was epic.
The Chaos by Gerard Nolst Trenité (1922)

Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you’ll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.
…
Very long. Highly recommended

I haven’t seen this mentioned but apart from 8K being expensive, requiring new production pipelines, unweildley for storage and bandwidth, unneeded, and not fixing g existing problems with 4K, it requires MASSIVE screens to reap benefits.
There are several similar posts, but suffice to say, 8K content is only perceived by average eyesight at living room distances when screens are OVER 100 inches in diameter at the bare minimum. That’s 7 feet wide.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true
He’s very good!
Just to be clear, I think T-SQL is fine and apparently they added some string agg function so you don’t have to hack XML_agg so… Something improved. But stinky spaghetti SQL is unfixable
Oh god this turned into a vent session
I think back of what I left behind. And I feel bad.
But then I feel better because I remember the reason I left was that we outgrew our processes and codebase and we desperately needed a restructure but i got no support in doing so.
I bitched for years that it was a continuity risk and a performance nightmare. But no. “Deliver more features. Add more junk for use cases that brought us no business value.” Never consider governance or security. Never consider best practices. Just more.
I knew eventually something bad would happen and I would be thrown under the bus. So I split. It was a good decision.
But yeah. Seone inherited a lot turd code
I wish I was working on your stuff back when I supported stinky 2008 T-SQL where everything was dynamic and sequential. I would have called you just for moral support
Oh look. A life savings worth of DDR4
Edit. Not meant as a comment repy. This is embarrassing
Damn. I’m turning in my programmer badge and service weapon
