Wow, that’s cursed.

It’s somewhat amazing to be able to pull this off - and also speaks of the layers and layers of management in modern corporations.

Did the c-level folks find out eventually?

Imagine breaking someone’s scraper with that change.

And maybe some features as a side effect.

I used to struggle a bit with that. My first full time job was at a startup making puzzle/logic games and I was hoping that at one point everybody is going to play them and I’ll be able to say “yeah, I worked on that”. Needless to say it wasn’t that successful at all, but I learned not to care that much. Money’s in my bank account, food is on the table, everything’s fine.

On the flip side, software not being material is also a plus - you make it once and distribute it an infinite number of times.

Because they want to include things with ads now - i.e. the ad-supported Outlook in the place of Mail.

Some shells put the path in quotes automatically as you attempt to complete anything with spaces in it.

Just put the whole thing in quotes. You might have to escape extra sets of quotes, usually with a backslash.

git blame is a bitch

I’ve been out of the loop regarding game dev for the last few years, but I somewhat share the “fuck Unity” sentiment. Any one of you folks using Godot? I’ve heard pretty good stuff about it.

I call bullshit. If you’re competent enough, the process of breaking things might actually let you learn stuff. And if you have a controlled environment, breaking things shouldn’t be an issue.

It’s great when it works, yeah.

Someone thought of you folks when doing this.

At first I thought you were annoyed at how misaligned they are.

Any half-decent editor/IDE/command line tool will scream at you about this; plus there’s version control which should help you spot it as well.

Plot twist: they used a script to generate that code.

Version control should take care of it either way, but I’m talking about principles.
