    Your claim was that it never happened, this was just a single well known example of it happening.

    At that point, Valve says a team of people will investigate those anomalies, and, if they determine that something fishy is afoot, they’ll “mark the time period it encompasses and notify the developer.” If Valve finds that coordinated review bombing has indeed occurred, any reviews posted during that time period won’t count toward the game’s review score.

    Also it isn’t fully automatic. Valve claims that people are involved ‘evaluating it’, and the result of the evaluation was that reviews were not counted.

    B2B contact is generally fine, unless you’re going to be a stalker about it. Had one the other day who messaged me on linkedin with her pitch and included the standard ‘If you have time and this is interesting feel free to reach out’ I saw the e-mail pop up just as I was stepping away to have lunch, as it was the standard lunch time. Before I even got downstairs (work from home) my company’s calling me out of the blue to tell me they have a call for me from this person. I declined the call, as we both agreed it was just business spam and after lunch responded and let them know we’d never be interested in their services. ‘Feel free to get in touch if you’re interested’ and ‘I’m going to track down your company’s phone number and call you 30 seconds after I send this’ just don’t vibe for me.

    I test all scripts as I generate them. I also generate them function by function and test. If I’m not getting the expected output it’s easy to catch that. I’m not doing super complicated stuff, but for the few I’ve had to do, it’s worked very well. Just because I don’t remember perfect syntax because I use it a couple of times a year doesn’t mean I won’t catch bugs.

    Gen AI is best used with languages that you don’t use that much. I might need a python script once a year or once every 6 months. Yeah I learned it ages ago, but don’t have much need to keep up on it. Still remember all the concepts so I can take the time to describe to the AI what I need step by step and verify each iteration. This way if it does make a mistake at some point that it can’t get itself out of, you’ve at least got a script complete to that point.
