100% that.

Especially that working software over comprehensive documentation part, which can be automated so easily if done right.

There's so much value in TDD and providing a way to do integration and automated UI tests early on in a project, yet none of the companies I've worked at made use of it.

Also automated documentation tools like Swagger are almost criminally underutilised.

Bonus panel probably: Pig in super heaven with two halos above head.

Wahoo!

Unfortunately I can't help you with Nobara, but I'm surprised you're having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

Thanks for summarising.

I wish your anus well.

Am I out of the loop?

Why don't people like Pizzacake?

Not really. Exceptions are a controlled way of indicating something went wrong in an application.

The only point where you wouldn't know about the possibility of one is when you don't know enough about the language features you're using or when you use a badly documented library or framework.

Yeah, I had a similar case with some authentication middleware I used that was part of a library.

It would always throw an exception when a user wasn't authenticated instead of just giving me some flag I could check.

Wouldn't have done it that way, but it was okay for an API controller.

Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.

The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.

Depends on who you think the people are.

CTOs, technical team leads and such can make those decisions. And devs can also suggest migrating to simpler solutions.

If a tech giant like Amazon can do it like they did with Prime Video, I don't think it's impossible other companies can do so too.

I'd have recommended it as well.

Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.

You can have the best tool in the world and still find people just hitting their own face with it.

Meme is funny, but that exception used as flow control hurts.

Would you still love me if I were a millipede? 🥺👉👈

Well, you can only win against big corpo if you shoot them with their own guns.

Or literal guns.

Thanks for explaining. I was not arguing the point that closures happen, just expanding on why it's not easy for the studios to get back on their feet again as independents.

There will likely be non-disclosure agreements, non-competes or simply IP rights to take into consideration if we want to argue why these studios can't continue their work. In the end it comes down to legal stuff and money. The IP rights even for unreleased products very likely are with the parent corporation. The same goes for the codebase.

So yeah. The studios are left with nothing, except a severance pay if they're lucky.

Why even engage if you're not interested in discussion?

Misrepresenting what I'm saying is not nice of you.

If the studios had the resources they could easily become independent. But the corporate side owns the rights to their works, so the now independent studio doesn't have any incoming revenue.

The average employee won't work for scraps or nothing. So it's effectively over if big corpo cuts them off.

You better hope the sound is baffling when you're at a concert!
