It might be worth giving Helldivers 2 a try, it may not end up being his thing but it has a good few milsim elements

My suggestion? Pirate it. Play the full game and see if it’s worth your 30 bucks. If it is (and I believe it will be), then buy it on your platform of choice. If not, nothing lost.

Pretentiousness? Or developers charging a fair price for over a decade of development work, the quality of which makes Bethesda and Ubisoft seethe with rage?

Honestly I just open up a new project and start fucking around until I figure out syntax, language features, and how files relate to each other

I think it sounds like an excellent “deep dive” project, but don’t get your hopes up that a million people will use it. Ultimately I believe this will be a test of your statistics and math skills more than anything,

I think you could probably reasonably complete the application itself in 1-3 months, but I have no idea how long it would take to complete the matching/recommendation algorithm.

I need schedule interrupts for this hype train

If it’s available for you you could always stream instead. A lot of people will stream Factorio live, then assemble a narrated video for YouTube from the VODs.

Hey, not to discourage you at all, but from what I can tell most viewers are a bit bored by watching episodic Factorio videos. I would recommend creating longer-form videos that encompass your entire challenge rather than an entire series of it. It’s a lot less video output for the effort you put in, but you have the advantage of being able to narrate the entire challenge as a story. If you want some good examples of this, check out Dosh Doshington’s content. He doesn’t post too often, but when he does it always does well.

Svelte is the way to go

Can someone tell me why I should care about this rather than just continuing to use my password and 2FA?

I was entirely skeptical of the concept at first and honestly had to check to make sure this wasn’t an April Fool’s post, but after getting through the article I think it’ll be a great addition to the game lol

I’d argue the opposite - Rust is the perfect fit for the entire stack. We don’t even need JS with libraries like Yew

Might as well try my luck! Thanks mate 😁

Agile is legitimately good and is the bar for how software should be built as a team. Enterprise scrum is objectively bad and I don’t understand how anyone gets any amount of work done under it.
