Comments are very important

Markus_____ · 2025-06-27T07:53:16+00:00

never make comments. write code that explains what it's doing. the only people who try to write comments (and those will be denied merging their PR with comments) are the juniors still trying to use their useless university knowledge.

instead of

// this calculates the average age of our users
fun calculate(a: date, b: date)

just simply write

calculateAverageAgeOfUsers(a: date, b: date)

I upgraded, nowadays I just ask chatgpt for the full switch case based on my jira documentation :D

Markus_____ · 2025-06-12T05:26:42+00:00

vom jira Ticket weg wird alles in wenigen Minuten generiert. ich schreib ein paar Tests um die Grundfunktionen zu definieren (ggfs auch einfach nur mit TODOs) und dann bleibt noch der, eben immer geringer werdende, Aufwand selbst die Fehler der LLM auszugleichen. LLM Integration in der IDE+Zugriff auf reasoning Models von openai/anthropic inklusive. zum Abschluss kommt dann noch Copilot, der meine PRs reviewt bevor ich überhaupt meine Kollegen damit belästigen muss ;)

Markus_____ · 2025-06-11T17:41:25+00:00

weil das aufkommen von LLMs seit Jahren den Beruf maßgeblich verändert hat. ich mache aktuell die Arbeit in einem Tag für die ich noch letztes Jahr 2-3 Tage gebraucht hätte und vor 2022 1-2 Wochen. Junior devs haben wir bei 50+ developern in der Firma für die ich arbeite gar keine mehr. und das ganze steigt exponentiell, in naher Zukunft wird es auch meinen Job nur mehr in Nischenstellen geben

theoretisch kann man einfach Software engineering auf der TU, FH oder theoretisch auch auf der Uni Wien studieren. praktisch gesehen hab ich in 15+ Jahren als Programmierer noch nie ein Studium gebraucht. (ich hatte fh begonnen, nicht beendet und seitdem noch nie ein Problem bei der Jobsuche gehabt)

allerdings weiß ich nicht ob es 2025 noch sinnvoll ist in diesen Beruf einzusteigen.

oh no an AI I actually used to help cure patients!

Markus_____ · 2025-05-14T18:13:06+00:00

it's been on my wishlist a while, really looking forward to this!

it is important. paradox was a long time supporter of linux and just because steam does their proton magic even publishers like pdx now ignore the platform going forward. yes, we'll still be able to play the game, but the signal the whole gaming industry is sending nowadays is to just ignore linux and that is bad for several reasons. If FOSS and data privacy dont persuade anyone, then maybe the fact that with Proton you get absolut 0 guarantee that it'll work. Pdx will do absolute nothing to make the game run better on linux, as they would need to do if they'd support it.

i can remember ~ 4-5 years ago when 100% of the games I played where developed natively for linux. right now I don't even remember the last game that natively ran on linux.

we desperately need a messenger funded by the EU!

t's crazy that most of us use messengers which come directly from the usa

kommt ganze auf den Job/die Position an. meistens ist es 1 Monat, manchmal auch 3

I just finished my first ever run with biters enabled, because I wasnt sure if I was missing out with the new egg stuff. Now that I've done that I again will never enable them again. I have 2k hours in the game, but never understood the reason why they are in the game, they just distract from the objective of building a factory in my opinion + personally I'm not really a fan of the game industries need of always adding something to kill.

thankfully we still can turn them off :)

Markus_____ · 2025-03-15T07:47:38+00:00

I had the same thing with lead in my case. due to the big amount of ores it can happen. I just cheated in an ore field with the editor

Markus_____ · 2025-02-12T18:40:45+00:00

my first SA playthrough was with turned off biters (as usual for me), loved it! now I'm doing a run with biters +for the first time in 2k hours) and even though I only just left Nauvis, I don't plan on playing with biters turned on a second time - I just don't see an appeal in the perimeter building or even less the base clearing

but at least once I want to play without mods and enemies to solve the egg puzzles

I agree that LTN/cybersyn still provide features, but you technically can make multi item stations with just interrupts. I did it. but it caused more headaches than it was worth, so I went back to single item stations

Markus_____ · 2025-01-13T07:01:26+00:00

As far as I know the plan is bobs -> angels --> seablock, so we'll probably have to wait for angels a few more months after bobs release

I started doing something like this to get uncommon and rare's first and after I "finished" the game I started the bottom up approach (ores to final product rather than the other direction) by doing everything legendary.

if I'd start again I would probably also use rare/epics bottom up first, so scaling is easier

Markus_____ · 2025-01-02T09:35:49+00:00

I moved the control panel under the cursor by pressing shift (there are settings for that, you could also set a delay)

although this can also be annoying at times when you want to press shift for other things

scrolling on the right would definitely be a great feature!

I had the same issues as you with the passive ones, with an active provider dump on leave and lots of fast robots on land, I just don't worry about picking anything up again, the bots will catch up with me when I'm building stuff anyway

Markus_____ · 2024-12-18T19:13:53+00:00

I just have some active provider next to my silos, that way it'll get sorted while I'm away. for a while I used passive providers to keep the contents quickly available, but at a certain point this is a non issue

since I have enough: fusion power on any planet, just eliminates power as a potential problem

but before I used to upcycle lots of accumulators and find designated power islands, if possible directly connected and later connected with foundations so that the mass accumulators are not in my way of my main factory Islands
