Why take this personally. They are a business. It’s one thing if they did something unethical, but I don’t think this is grudge worthy.

If anything this shows how small the gaming market really is for them. This opens the playing field for new companies to capture.

I find it admirable that they are able to intensify focus on an area they see the most value.

Pretty soon you’ll see people bridging audio with llm voice responses to their headset.

I’ve had interviews where people have their friend bridging calls and doing the lookups. Some were incredibly stupid that we heard the typing from the next room lol.

Anyway remote interviews are a nightmare already.

oh wow this looks great and thank you for the guide. Haven't played GW2 in over a decade but I do think about my time playing it every now and then. Made a lot of friends and great memories. Will have to login and see if any of them are still playing. Would be cool to print their characters too.

Due to the prevalence of forking and copy-pasting within the codebase, nearly 75% of files are completely duplicated.

This is surprisingly high. Does the include imported libraries and packages? Since you are hashing at the file level, I am not fully convinced that this is due to people copying entire files over without modification.

It reminded me of Berkshire Hathaway. Very old fashioned, run by sensible people, and hold a lot of cash (and very little debt%).

I view my work life to be a sandbox game. Like Minecraft, you can build w/e and be whoever. In the end it doesn’t really matter.

In my personal life, I do the things I enjoy. Try not to suppress desires, instead be open to the world and let life happen.
