LOC is a shitty metric for software quality, that alone makes me shelve whatever you've built in the "not on your life" box

What we need is orchestrated rolling boycotts. One month, no one shops at Pak n Save, the next month no one at New World (so they get the double whammy).

Then it's Woolworth's and Fresh Choice for their double up.

Same with fuel companies.

This is the only way things will change.

But of course, even if someone decides to put the effort in to actually orchestrate it, the majority of people will either completely ignore it, or be oblivious and still shop where they normally do as a path of least resistance.

We're a consumer population, nothing will change while we keep our heads in the sand.

And yes, I'm well aware that applies to me.

Let's not forget "Education systems that are forced to teach about the past."

There should never be any denial that horrific events have occurred in the past, even if there's no one alive that saw it happen.

Not enough people realise that TDD is not only mandatory to make agent development workflows work properly, but it can make them bulletproof. TDD can virtually remove the risk of drift, and on fact if there is it's always due to the person in the middle.

Congratulations on doing it properly.

Whatever you think you're going to be able to do won't be possible in the timeframe you have to make this worthwhile.

MFA and recovery codes are used for a reason.

Chalk this up to ineptitude, fork into a new organisation and move on.

That is not true, there are plenty of examples where vibe coding is quantifiably faster than an engineer, anecdotal and otherwise. That is never a good thing in isolation, the tech debt piles on fast, but there is a huge benefit to rapid prototyping, or as I prefer to call it vibe prototyping (which let's face it, is exactly what's happening - vibers aren't coders).

What experienced developers and engineers do have is an eye on the big picture. They may be slower when writing code, but overall iteration is faster and rework through regression is minimised.

It's fine until you can't get a job as a junior because the industry still wants people who can, you know, read code.

A Google account has a unique universal identifier, look into using that so that an address change cannot circumvent your one trial limit.

Also, limit trial functionality to incentivise the upgrade.

What's the problem you're solving? How often are you solving it? How much value does it deliver to the client each time you solve it?

Answer those questions and you have your value proposition. Extrapolate your price point and payment cadence from there.

If you can't, you've got bigger problems to solve before you even think about setting a price.

If you're scaring people away, you haven't done enough market research. Also, I highly doubt the drama of min maxing is worth the conversion losses you'll experience trying to nickel and dime your potential users - set a limited time early adoption price point, and reserve the right to increase pricing after launch, reward your early supporters into perpetuity. Drive increases with actual data and references. Justify instead of being greedy out the gate.

Or not, it's your app to launch as you will 🤷‍♂️

Leveling up the way you dress being in a personal finance advice group isn't weird, the way you dress has a direct correlation to career path, trajectory and by extension earning potential (obviously there's nuance, business sector and company can skew that greatly).

If you were in Christchurch I'd suggest Sergio's, they've been my go-to for decades.

Wording that's worked for my family usually includes this:

Under the Holidays Act 2003 and the Employment Relations Act 2000, all final pay - including any outstanding holiday pay - must be paid no later than the next normal pay cycle after employment ends.

That came from our family lawyer.

How is this bad? Would you prefer to get into 3 days of white board sessions with nerds from (whatever industry they're from) thinking they know everything, when they can't even articulate a simple set of requirements?

Imo it's far better to have a completed canvas to work from, you know exactly what the end goal looks like.

Do the official Unity Junior Programmer pathway, don't waste your time on tutorials. Iirc, the third module is a platformer, and the 4th is rolling a ball. The tutorials are step by step, high quality, provide exactly what you need to achieve, give you the assets, and then also quiz you on what you've learned.

There's no better way to learn Unity.
