@MintBlitz By design! Our approach was "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." It was the first Halo online game though, so what wasn't broken?
LAN parties.
I always assumed everybody was losing aim assist on Halo Infinite at the same rate. Can't believe some people were experiencing it way less, and some not at all....I've been full windmilling 2-5 times a game and it's tied to VIDEO/MONITOR SETTINGS?!
golang with generics and now a sane std may have become the single best cli / web server language
before this i was pretty hesitant just because of the explosion of code based on type or switch type (which i hate)
now... its... ITS REALLY GOOD
“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.
Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through.
I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me.
I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.
@catalinmpit As a candidate, after you solve the Leetcode nonsense, I think it should be fair enough to turn around and have the interviewers solve a problem you have prepared.
