I'd imagine reddit could be profitable too if they stopped throwing money at stupid shit like NFTs and avatars. Selling API access for AI training was a good move in terms of bringing in income since it basically costs them nothing, and they could have totally pulled that off without pissing off half their userbase.

The reason I don't think it's all that in line with Diablo these days, though, is simply the pacing of the gameplay. You blow up screens of enemies at a time, and your deaths are often so fast that you're not really sure what killed you.

Yeah, that's why I don't care for POE anymore these days.

It is a classic Roguelike

I get that Roguelike is basically a vaguely defined genre now, and though Torchlight 2 in a great game it's definitely not a "classic Roguelike".

The more surprising part is that there are companies I've never heard of that cost even more.

Xterm supports multiple tabs right? Do that? If not then tmux.

It's one of the things that potentially prevent the technological singularity. That's undoubtedly why the self-important Musk has an interest in it.

This is like Black and White mixed with Civilization.

Me too. There's little challenge or risk. Progression is really slow and can't really be sped up. Borderline an interactive screensaver.

I thought it was killed for VSCode since they ended up under the same umbrella.

Don't be a contractor. Unless you're unusually skilled or have a very exotic and rare niche that you're an expert in then being a contractor is a step down for most people in the software field imo. Look for direct hire.
