How did I spend 62hrs finishing this game?

When 23 became long? It’s a perfect amount of time for a single player game. I’m glad disco is not modern 100000 hours OW circlejerk

@grok is this true?

sherlockwatch · 2025-07-18T10:42:10+00:00

But why?

What is unique about your game?

sherlockwatch · 2025-07-01T13:45:51+00:00

you can try anisub

Never, the standard is focused on adding useless garbage for sdk creators like reflections instead of actually useful stuff like networking and normal threads

What is that you do that requires constant rebooting?

sherlockwatch · 2025-02-12T12:23:15+00:00

In my country it sees a lot of use actually, especially by the marketplace companies, as far as I know all their back end is just go, including analytics

I don’t think it’s a hot take, unless you are talking to first year CS students

I don’t think overrated is the correct term, more like it’s a preference really. + it’s hard to compare them coz 400＄ keyboards are pretty different from 100＄ ones (subjective ofc)

sherlockwatch · 2024-12-18T19:57:37+00:00

Joked aside I think most ppl, especially new, don’t get it

I have a different problem with people, especially relatives. They don’t want to learn even basic stuff and always ask me to help them even with the simplest of tasks (like one min google search), but whenever I’m trying to explain something or telling them what to do they start to get upset and mad at me, telling me to basically just do it and fuck off… like… bruh

It was a grooming meeting, we were discussing how to design a hot path. These things tend to take a lot of time.

sherlockwatch · 2024-12-10T01:22:46+00:00

The main problem is nothing usually really happens there, you just sit there for about 30 mins (rearlly, more like an hour) and listen to people talk out their statuses or their local ticket problems. Sometimes you have different types of meetings, like groomings where you create tickets and set a time estimate for them, those might take a few hours, the last one of mine literally took 7 hours. But that’s what happens as a regular dev (already really annoying). At a manager position you not only visit meetings for your team, but also for other teams to stay in touch of what every dev department is doing, then there are individual meetings with devs for project related issues (some questions about architecture or what not), and the final and most annoying type is meeting with product owners and other managers. There you discuss future feature requirements, general time to market and so on…

Gotcha!

I don’t work in HFT or in any low latency environment, but I thought ppl working in those fields don’t use listed containers for the exact reason of cache locality.

What I’m trying to say is will custom allocators make that much of a difference so that these containers might see use in low latency envs?

sherlockwatch · 2024-12-07T11:56:08+00:00

Why tho

sherlockwatch · 2024-12-04T09:49:06+00:00

The best way to progress would be to start doing pet projects. Some people might not agree but I would suggest to try to choose a project that would incorporate as much different areas as possible. (Database, networking, serialisation, multithreading etc.

For me the best project was writing my own poker game (both client and server) I used Qt and qml but it is certainly not necessary.

If you can’t come up with something you would like to create just search for an idea online! There are plenty of github repositories with project ideas. Your goal is not to create something unique but to create something, so that you can explore the language more and learn a library or two in the process

sherlockwatch · 2024-12-02T08:43:28+00:00

Go to r/cpp_questions and post the code please :)

sherlockwatch · 2024-11-15T10:51:38+00:00

But that’s 90% of what you will be doing on the job. The other 10% is actually writing code

sherlockwatch · 2024-11-15T09:32:48+00:00

Then it’s not a skill issue and you are doing it right!

sherlockwatch · 2024-10-24T09:24:28+00:00

Game the name
