You cn totlly get by without them

Oh, nice. I can’t see that in the Boost app, but is plain to see on a web link. Thanks!

Which rule did that break?

My point was that denazification was not the reason. So you agree with my only point and then extrapolated a bunch if other stuff.

What are you on about? Seeing a line of code doesn’t make you a developer.

I feel like I only need to reply to this, because this is the second time I’ve directly replied to something you said using your own words, to then have you say those words don’t matter.

It also completely ignores the point I was making that some “QA” code, some pick through code, some may not understand it at all, but why are any of those not classed as developers?

You design a character? Not a developer. You test the game? Not a developer? You develop the story and draw the art? Not a developer. None of that is writing the game’s code. You can be both a developer and an artist, for sure, if you write the game’s code.

Oh I see, so you are indeed only calling programmers developers. Absolutely unhinged take.

Aha, but Azov is very powerful neo-nazi movement. They and their allies may hold no political seats, but the only way to be sure is full-scale invasion special military operation. Will only be few days weeks months years

Make random comparisons from other industries all you want, this whole conversation is about game devs and to think that people inherently involved in the development of a game “are not developers” is absolutely part of the industry’s current problems.

This ancient attitude is the same upper management position where cutting swathes of knowledgable established QA will bring short term profits only to later hire even more fresh QAs, often contractors or outsourced.

You think QA has never seen a line of code? If we ignore what another commenter mentioned that there are high level QA jobs that are very technical, or are literally coding positions, even a lot of entry level QA also have formal education on game design. Many go on to be designers, coders, artists. Do they only become actual developers then?

What’s the imaginary line to being part of game dev to you?

If you’re trying to hint that Quality Assurance doesn’t have “developer” in the title, therefore they aren’t part of development, I better tell all of the programmers, tech leads and game directors I know that they aren’t real developers either.

QA aren’t devs? I would like to know your definition of development.

Ahh America. Land of the free, home of the Union busting corporations literally making robot scabs

I imagine they mean like Ottoman coffeehouse rather than Starbucks, but still true about the lack of whiteboards

Never thought he would refer to himself as the wedge, but it’s an image of a three-way I never wanted in my mind

Sorry, next time I will look at all Ukrainian soldier social media accounts and then look up who Stepan Bandera is and worship him and I’m sure that will provide more context to the article you posted

You seem to be completely ignoring my analysis of the content and the source and the MPs background which I posted above. It seems like I’ve thought about it more than you.

That would be the “Source of the source”

Thanks for the additional context.

The additional context: “yes, I posted a propaganda article, but your investigation of the source and the source of the source wasn’t enough. You need to investigate more but I won’t provide any links or other sources.”

TIL its tOtALlY rANdOm to read the “About Us” page of a website that people are discussing the origin of.

Do you realise I’m a different person to the other poster? You told them to read the website and you are telling me not to read the website.

I already clicked through to the source, an RT article, which is clearly labelled as posted by the Russian part of BRICS.

I also looked up the MP, who was expelled from her liberal party for corrupt activities and now represents the party of an oligarch which has less than 1% of the national vote share.

So yes in conclusion, it is Russian propaganda. Who knows if the 100,000 figure is true, she is the only source, but without context it doesn’t really mean anything anyway.

Was I supposed to read all that or not?

What is BRICS? Very useful page, that…
