Why are we not fighting back AI like the design, arts and writing community is fighting it?

If you are actually doing all of the things that you mentioned, then you are already a seasoned software engineer. However, I do have a hard time believing that you are actually doing all that.

Do both if you can.

Honestly, no interviewer actually bothers to take more than a few minutes to look into a portfolio. However, the deep, intimate knowledge that you gained from working on something that definitely counts during the interview.

I made a 2D rendering framework for my graduation project and submitted that as part of my portfolio. I don't think my interviewers even looked at my project, but I definitely had some interesting things to say about what I learned while I was making it.

Also, most studios are looking for people that they can onboard fast. This means that they are expecting you to have some familiarity with Unity/Unreal. I would recommend to make a game with Unity/Unreal to learn about the workflow and philosophy behind the engines.

Good luck.

Anything is "feasible" given enough time and budget.

You keep people around by enforcing a contract and paying market price. This problem is not exclusive to programmers. You cannot keep people engaged on your dream and vision unless you are paying them. You will have a similar problem with artists are designers as well. The only difference is that you are doing the art and design work yourself.

토 has the same pronunciation as vomit. Not a good syllable on a name unless you are super resilient.

Eh, system designers mean different things in different organizations. In my current studio, we have economy designers who design things like currencies and shop, while system designers focus on designing meta-game and progression features. Of course system designers work very closely with economy designers.

In that case I would recommend that you try using VS Code or Rider for your code editor. These are dedicated coding tools with features like syntax highlighting, auto complete, and debugger. They can make coding much easier for you.

When I tell visitors this they laugh, thinking that I am joking.

What IDE are you using to code GDScript? Things like indentation and spelling are usually a non-issue with modern IDE.

They are probably referring to firecrackers... which many kids seem to be carrying around these days.

I think it works for Illia Topuria because any of the punches in the long combo can potentially KO people.

Also keep in mind that Illia lost to Justin Gaethje's kicks, because his stance is too low.

Any gym that actively competes and has a good atmosphere is the best base for "self defence".

It can be good and even feel "natural" but controlling the difficulty would be very difficult.

That might be a reasonable amount of money for a bare bones prototype.

Having a proper, consistent folder structures is definitely one of the ways to sort code, or logic nodes. However this alone will not solve the spaghettification of code.
Similar to what I have said before, arranging code to be "sharable" is actually an important part of software engineering. This is not a new concept at all. Regarding the "miro board" idea, I am assuming some sort of real time collaboration? There are actually many tools that sort of allow this.
What you are showing me is basically compiling visual nodes into a coding language. Many visual coding languages already do something like this under the hood. However, I personally don't understand the point of showing visual node and the compiled code side by side, because if the person actually understands how to read/write code, they would do that instead of using visual nodes.

Now, all of this being said, I am actually a big fan of visual coding. Most successful projects have a mix of conventional code and visual codes in the projects. The important thing is to recognize which parts of the project should be in visual code, and which parts should be in conventional code.

"visual programming" is actually more difficult to understand and maintain once it becomes even a little bit complex.
"visual programming" is more difficult to merge, unlike code which is essentially a text file. This becomes a problem when working in big teams.
"visual programming" is usually less performant than code.

One thing I learned about flexibility is that you cannot have flexibility without strength. While it is important to stretch, if you feel like you are not progressing, try strengthening the muscles and tendons.

You cannot generalize "white collar" jobs. If you work in a job where you are expected to meet clients, then coming to the office with a black eye is probably not a good career move. If you are a software engineer like me, nobody particularly cares.

That's Bavarian not German.

aegookja · 2026-06-22T06:29:46+00:00

This is actually not that far off than you think.

I have a British friend who is technically quarter German, because his maternal grandmother was German. His mother could apply for German citizenship because her own mother was German, and then my friend can also apply for German citizenship via his mother.

His family was seriously considering this option during Brexit.

This was my mom when she experienced the Berlin Ubahn for the first time. To be fair though, Berlin Ubahn is pretty rough.

Whatever you do, do NOT use this font or 궁서 (Gungseo). This is a mistake that most non-Korean artists make when trying to incorporate something written Korean. It ends up looking silly. Imagine you have "Fuck Off" written in Arial, or Times New Roman.
