  • I intend to be retired for Y2038. I have been warning my younger coworkers that 1. they’re going to have to fix it, 2. It’s going to be worse than Y2K, and 3. Managers and up are not going to take it seriously because Y2K was mostly a nothing burger (because of a lot of hard work and investment that people forget about).




  • My issues are not install, but uninstall. Why do I have so much crap installed? I used it on a project once 7 years ago and haven’t since. Why not uninstall it? It is useful, just not currently. It took less than a minute to install when you installed it the first time and your connection is faster now? But what if the archive goes down or it is retired or obsolete? It is small, keep it!

    Turns out lots of small adds up to big.



  • I think the worst thing BioWare did was ban people for loot exploiting when all they were doing was flying around in a loop collecting chests as they spawned. The players weren’t doing anything the game didn’t allow and banning them really created vitriol in the community. When added to the lack of end game, the player base just never got any growth momentum. It was really sad, because I was a huge BW fan and that game plus the loss of the Doctors really wrecked them (thanks EA /s). You could see the potential in Anthem, but it felt like a a great game engine waiting for the game to be written for it (honestly similar to pre-Forsaken Destiny 2, but even that had more content).
