my guess is the software equivalent is the architect role - basically someone high level that doesn’t code much but does design the overall way that systems interact (or, to put it redundantly, designs the architecture of the full system)

however i don’t know if this term is en vogue as much anymore except for very large scale businesses (i would bet money that banks employ architects, for example)

wtf…can you charge someone with union busting when they run an entirely different company? this is particularly brazen of him…

feels like a warning shot against tesla workers for sure.

are unity and unreal so different that your 10 years of experience in one isn’t helpful for the other? i’m not a game developer but I had assumed it was similar to web frameworks - definitely high switching costs for porting an existing project, but as a developer looking for a job there are still many portable skills.

i’d guess it also depends on what parts of the engine you are working in?

ahhh. i thought for sure he was suing the fleshlight manufacturer!

can we take bets on what a “tweet” will be called now? my bets on “chi” (pronounced kai)

When I read the post I was initially focused on google search but man….if gmail were to die, the pile-on effects would be seriously catastrophic and it would take a very long time for things to stabilize again. It’s not just personal emails that are handled by gmail - their corporate offerings are used by a ton of companies, and there are plenty of school districts as well that rely on it for their email (and thus associated logins). If you’ve ever worked near education, you know what a cluster that would be as all the IT departments scrambled to figure out who would be responsible for a migration.

I don’t really see it happening, but it’s very scary to think about what would happen if gmail were to fall.

great point. don’t forget the books tho! that industry needs some reigns put on it and to prevent professors from preventing the use of used books!
