  • They all work for big companies, and in big companies you get paid for features not for fixes.

    AAA games will never be optimized. They’re too big to care, and nobody is accountable for it.

    This is why I quit big companies. I love optimizing. I love building flexible software, that’s fast, clean, and simple. But that takes time and you won’t get it, you’ll get “what’s the minimum we can do to get this feature out” or “we can always come back to that” and it’s back logged forever. If someone else pushes out a hacky MVP of spaghetti code that gets to market faster, they’ll go with that, even if it costs months of dedicated fixes.









  • And I do agree with that.

    I’m not American and we have the same issues here.

    But the answer has to be putting in grassroots support and fighting the power where you can. By the time Biden and then Harris had secured the DNC nomination it was way too late.

    I think right now the world at large needs big changes, and corporate power needs to be reigned in. But you have to engage with the possibilities in front of you, even though they suck. You can and should try to create new ones, but it’s a fight, and you have to treat it like one.
