Forbidden desert! Great co-op game. We used to call it Die in The Desert because my group was so bad at it.

What's the advantage of running this server side?

I just switched to connect. It's pretty slick.

Get a can of black beans and some rice. Make the rice, put the beans on top. Black beans and rice.

Godot can run on fairly low end stuff, just use the opengl based renderer. The official Godot docs are actually pretty dang good nowadays. Join a game jam asap https://godotwildjam.com/ you'll probably find a team willing to take a newbie. You'll learn a lot. Good luck!

Totally, pretty much all browsers include a way to simulate network conditions. Chrome also includes a way to simulate CPU slowdown.

I've been trying out an IaC services' (Pulumi) chatbot to answer questions about how to spin up architecture. It's really bad. Totally makes up properties that don't exist and at times spins up code that doesn't even make sense syntactically. Not to mention that the code it generates has the potential to cost not insignificant amounts of money.

Definitely not a replacement for stack overflow, github, forums, or random blog posts. Not for a service that spins up critical infrastructure. Like, you have to know to some degree how that stuff works. And if you know how that stuff works, what's the point of the service? Saving a few minutes typing stuff out and looking at documentation?

Prioritizing developer experience is not the reason we use front-end frameworks. People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads). The initial request might take a little bit longer, but in the end a well written front-end app will feel faster.

The problem is that people don't worry about bundle size and cram every library off of npm into their website.

Dams are usually bad too.

Not 100% sure how this works, but dam and river usually means environmental consequences.

I'm a developer, so I didn't even think to check textbooks for certification courses. Interesting. I don't normally like video content, but that man's taste in hats is making me think twice.

Oh I feel silly now. I guess I'll go back to drinking from the tap.
