Gamedev using D here, my main gripe with programming isn’t AI, but that I decided to go with my own engine, and now there’s barely any documentation on graphics API use that isn’t the OpenGL manual, as I’m encountering very interesting bugs recently (textures disappearing, texture glitches, etc.), while most article nowadays being about how I wasn’t supposed to learn any programming, but instead art, so I could create the next Undertale, Touhou, etc. all alone, and it would be truly my game with my true intentions.

Some people are often asking “but what about these other tools”, when I criticize AI. IMHO, some of the tools that made game development more accessible also made it more atomized, since you have less need for a programmer nowadays, with some tools not even requiring “classical” coding, but is visual in nature instead.

I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.

I can already convert binary and hexadecimal in my head for the most part. Here’s a handy table for each digit:

0;0000
1;0001
2;0010
3;0011
4;0100
5;0101
6;0110
7;0111
8;1000
9;1001
a;1010
b;1011
c;1100
d;1101
e;1110
f;1111

There’s some non-freeware FOSS projects, especially in pursuit of some support. While the better ones either have an easy to use build system and/or just negwares if you download their “trial” version, projects like Ardour is a lot more involved. It has actual noise injected into the sound output, it has a convoluted build system (for which they don’t provide build manuals - after forking, you’ll find out it will also need a specific version of VS to build), and on top of that, an expensive subscription model.

What about people, who just burn the machine code directly onto a CD with a laser?

Or wrote the code using AI without checking what it exactly does.

That happened to me multiple times…

WYM, I can’t just name my functions foo() and my variables single letters? /s

Comment your code. Problem solved.

I C what you did there!

The right one is after 10+ hours of debugging.

D: You’re unpopular and a nerd.

When the software becomes hardware dependent thanks to a rare and hard to track down bugs, sometimes driver bugs (ask OpenGL developers about their experience with lower-end and embedded hardware!).

In college, we had to use Hungarian pseudocode. I still have PTSD from it, especially as the teacher was a psycho that had a meltdown every time her “how do you do fellow kids” moment terribly backfired, most infamously by putting Twilight references into a test (everybody audibly cringed reading the tests).

cp?💀

Which one?

Others: “Oh god, regexes are so hard to understand!”

Me, an intellectual: writing a code that does the same.

Do you think one should also show acceptance of highly defamatory speech, and only punish the very people that act out on them?

Believing that certain groups must be eradicated isn’t covered under my tolerance of “diverse opinions”.

Dude, do you think a group that hates “diversity” in its every shape and form is just “moderate”?
