An absolute shitton of indie games

It’s all the extra requirements, all the extra engineering that needs to be added that is IMO ruining web applications. Sure, they have huge benefits, but I hate when the application is simple but the backend is so overly engineered that it takes a week to completely build a fully fleshed out application. You have to organize your components, add styled-components.js, make sure it’s compatible with mui.js, create test cases for each component, setup a DB and integrate it to hold all copy as well as any input from the customer, make sure that it’s accessible (this part I admit that it’s important), make sure your test cases always pass, setup routing tables, add analytics, add pixel campaign api, squash git conflicts, integrate some other weirdo apis that marketing and leadership pulled from some obscure service no one has ever heard off, debug some weird edge case error caused by a node dependency 3 levels down, present the finished website to leadership only to be destroyed and now you have to redo 75% of the site with leadership changes… rinse and repeat.

It’s a good thing I fucking love my job 🙃

Maybe it’s time to go back to the good ol’ days

Tbh, all of web development has become this… efficient. I remember the days where I could create a website in PHP and have it done in a couple of hours (per page), and now the only way I can do that would be using AI and going full on “vibe coding” mode.

My whirlpool gold has been quietly washing my dishes every day for the past 10 years without problems

And I will be skipping it.

Firefly

The 4400

Top Gear (the UK version)

Edit: As a side note, I would love to see a Eureka reboot

Who’s out there making comics of me in them?

At least twee fiddy

I mean my main intention would be to use those skills to be successful in running my own business instead of going to an office, but like I said, only if I was offered to go to college paid for and I didnt know what to study (aka. Parents want kid to go to college no matter what).

I really dont understand how knowing how to run a business, market a business, and know how to financially manage a business is bad advice. Please do explain, because at this point I’m either missing the obviouse or the internet is just daft (and no I don’t mean that as a personal isult to you or anyone, I’m really just baffled)

Ok, so you dont really want to know how to open, market, and manage your own business, you just want to study the obscure history of a particular art form in order to work at McDonald’s or Starbucks and then complain about that your corporate overlords dont pay you enough to make a living wage… got it

EDIT (Because my dumb phone deleted it): If you dont want to go to a 4 year college and study a trade skill at a comunity college, then do it. I just personally feel like too many kids want to study a career that not only doesn’t pay, but is vastly overpopulated with applicants and not even close to have a descent amount of jobs.

Edit 2: My main thing is, study something that will give you the tools to be independent and not have to work for a soul sucking coorporation. If you know what you like to do and can study it in a community college, then do that. But business admin and marketing is universally useful to know how to run your business successfully, and its not an MBA (Masters in Business Administration)

If you are about to finish high school and still dont know what to study in college but have the opportunity to go to college (I know many can’t and that’s ok). Study business administration and marketing; you’ll either learn a skill you can apply in a corporate job, or you can use it to be trully successful opening your own business and being independent anywhere in the world.

Not this time friend… not this time

The problem is that people just use search engines that categorize websites with algorithms and serve the most popular ones (which are these platforms) so this is the only side of the internet they are exposed to.

We need a community that displays all that cool shit

Yep, just like in both previous elections when the majority of the party wanted Bernie Sanders and the DNC just responded with a big “fuck that”. He’ll the last time they even said they where a private organization and have no requirement to choose the popular frontrunner for their party’s platform

Uninstalled. I don’t mind as much for sharing my library but if I have to pay to stream MY OWN SERVERS CONTENT using your service, that’s a hard pass. My homes all use jellyfin now

I don’t hate it, but it’s been allowed to go uncontrolled for too long and it has become cancerous to the successful advancement of society.
