It is important to remember that the legal power of unions was bought in blood. Both of the workers and the their bosses. I really hope we don't end up there again, but I do think that it can happen.

I recommend starting with basic YouTube tutorials, then do a game jam. The great thing about game jams is that it is zero pressure. The only goal is to try to make something playable. It doesn't have to be grand in scale, you don't have to write perfect code to make change and growth easier. Just slap something together in 48/72 hours or 2 weeks, depending on the jam, then move on.

No kidding. A nice ambiance.

It took me months of using Godot to realize that was there. It is really well buried. I came over from Unity and was distressed at the lack of feedback of the game while debugging, then I realized the "Remote" and "Local" tabs. It isn't quite as good as getting visual feedback in the debug window, but it at least lets me watch values and reset positions of objects.

That's an improvement for sure, but in case you all didn't know, when you are testing your game, you can switch back to the editor and change the tab on the scene node browser to see the live scene and edit it.

Nah, if you are racking computers, and they don't have built in lights out management, you open them up and connect remote triggers to the power button leads, allowing you to remotely start them if they get shut off. I'm sure lots of companies do have Mac farms for Mac and iOS development, but I doubt Apple give a crap one way or another about them.

Careful, some tech bro will take that and get a billion dollars in venture capital for "eScorts: Uber for hookers".

Stockholm syndrome was made up by the media to discredit women who criticized them. It's not a real thing.

Another fun fact: On the backend, Teams uses SharePoint to store files, and Exchange to store message. The whole M365 stack is a house of cards built on ancient tech. It's a wonder it works at all.

And Google? I'm sure some companies use Google Apps for Business or whatevere they are calling it now, but the vast majority use Microsoft 365. Which does basically tie you to Windows, annoyingly. Especially if they are following industry and Microsoft best practices with MDM and Conditional Access.

I recommend giving Sidebery a shot. It allows you to use a vertical list of tabs instead, that follow a tree hierarchy, so you can have an entire group together and collapsable. Before it was Tree Style Tabs, but development of that seems to have slowed to a stop.
