To take up a career in programming is to be professionally confused on a day-to-day basis. It's normal to feel overwhelmed at times, but this is the advice I give younger engineers: accept that confusion, and try to channel it into curiosity instead of letting it fester into stress and anxiety.

I'm glad companies are continuing to innovate, but it feels wrong to be moving towards mechanical inventions again when we've finally nailed solid state tech. Have we forgotten how often printers used to break?

If the cost of implementing proper security is greater than the cost of the fallout from a serious vulnerability, I think we know how most companies will behave. Just take a look at Crowdstrike's share price, it's recovering nicely.

Pretty massive screw up from the marketing team involved. To try and sell a hero shooter for $40 upfront from an unknown dev studio in a crowded market of free-to-play hero shooters is pretty risky. Even Overwatch 2 saw the writing on the wall and went F2P.

This article seems misleading. It uses the loaded Western term "selfie" to generate these images of different cultures smiling. If you use the term "group photo" instead, you get much more natural looking results, where certain cultures are smiling and others aren't.

I'm not against these changes, but aren't physical footy cards and other types of trading cards the original loot box aimed at kids? Or have companies successfully argued that they're selling chewing gum and the cards are just freebies in the pack?

This has been the weirdest console generation. I'm still surprised they railroaded ahead with the PS5 and Xbox Series X launches right at the beginning of the pandemic.
