On all the agile projects I’ve worked on, the teams have been very reluctant to make a specification in place before starting development. Often claiming that we can’t know the requirements up-front, because we’re agile.

Please don’t give them ideas.

Since the “new” version it has been shit. Typical big enterprises to break something the users like.

Perhaps they fixed it, but I experienced random crashes at least once an hour.

For most games. Tried Witcher 2 on Linux a few months ago, what an unstable mess.

Newsflash: Not everyone is a teenager on lemmy, many of us have spouses and children.

My wife is still playing this, going on 4 years.

Also Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Sea of Thieves. Revisiting it after several years of not playing it, and finding it just as much fun now as it uses to be.

So convience over privacy, got it. That is pretty much what made Facebook rise to fame.

The article states the layoffs will affect the UK division and EU division, I am assuming you are basing your statement on US laws. https://www.gov.uk/redundancy-your-rights/notice-periods states that you will get paid for X number of weeks depending on how long you have been in your job.

Powerline networking is often limited by the fact that a lot of houses/apartments have multiple circuits and circuit brakes are the nemesis of powerline networking.

How is this relevant to the article?

Earlier, multiple sources had indicated that Xbox is looking to foray into third party development, with ports of several first party titles rumored to arrive on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2

So I guess they know more about the next Switch console than the rest of us.

Yes Europe is mostly manual. You pay a heavy premium to get a car with automatic transmission. Anecdotally, I bought a Skoda ~5 years ago and had to pay ~20% more for automatic transmission than manual.

Did you even bother to read the article?

Luckily, the creators of the NERV App, Gehirn Inc, have created an app-based alternative for users to get information in real-time, as well as running a Mastodon account

Missing perhaps the most important skill: Human to human communication, allowing you to:

• Discover the real requirements for your task by talking to the end user/stakeholder.
• Be able to propose and discuss alternatives to the requested solution, after you learn the real requirements.
• Clearly and timely communicate obstacles that occur during any phase in the project.

I suspect it is missing because most developers, myself included, dislike human communication. We like computers because they give us honest and logical answers.

The same could be said about a lot of sources of income. It’s subjective what is considered a job.

If you have been gaining experience in the IT industry as a developer and have good hands-on experience on various issues that appear in any kind of application then you should consider moving higher in the corporate hierarchy.

Or, you know, keep doing what your enjoy and stay a developer.
