Nintendo proved again that gameplay and art direction matter more than anything

More like- Nintendo proved that in spite of barely listening to the fan base over literal decades, a solid brand will still get sales with just bleh content.

They barely caught onto the open world concept and sandbox - and it took years and years.

There are likely dozens of others out there that can lay claim to the same. What specifically do you define as the innovation behind this “invention”?

At least now people will start to focus on how bloated and slow software has become in the meantime. And stop referring to it as “tech”.

Not a very good source.

From the C section:

“We all study C in high school or intermediate. But, most of the aspirants or programmers struggle while coding”

“15 Tips to improve your coding skills for C”

This is borderline Engrish.

It would be nice if the people writing this used the “best practices” for the language the article is actually written in.

I love me some Python, trust me. But this is just putting lipstick on a pig. The language needs to be rewritten from the ground up. If you’ve ever analyzed the machine code a simple python script spits out you’ll see how helplessly bloated it is.

“ Where you fall is a discussion to be had, because like ALL product requirements, it comes with a cost to develop and maintain. I don't drive an F1 car to the grocery store. I don't take my minivan to the track”

No. The authors point is that you don’t have to drive an F1 car to the grocery store. All you have to do is stop slashing your tires, dumping sugar in your gas tank and driving a Kia.

The amount of mental gymnastics you people go through to keep your delicate little worldview from crumbling is truly a sight to behold. Thank god we have people like Casey in this world to balance out the bell curve.

The point is that performance is so important to customer satisfaction and the bottom line that even a horrendous company like facebook would begrudgingly spend time and money to improve performance. If anything your comment reinforces his point.

you realize that you are literally parroting talking points that we have already predicted you would come up with as additional excuses, right?

That's literally one of the excuses he debunks. Case in point: it is such a large factor on customer satisfaction and the bottom line that large companies such as Facebook would spend significant sums of time and money improving performance.

It’s all true and you know it. No more excuses folks.
