  • If a tool were created that properly converted an UML diagram into a project without any need for code, all the programmers that lost their job to this tool would then be hired by the company that offered it, in order to give maintenance and support to everything the customers want in their programs.

    It would be removing programmers from they payroll of some companies but they would still be working for them, just further down in the chain.

    The same is true for AI. If AI could completely replace programmers in some area, it would need a lot of programmers itself to keep dealing with all the edge cases that would show up from being used everywhere that a programmer was needed before.














  • I’ve tried those games so you don’t have to:

    Reality is even worse than the worst thing you can imagine. You know all those games you’ve seen hundreds of ads for and do do a pretty shitty job at making the game itself feel interesting?

    Well that game content shown in the ads is actually the best part of those games. The actual game has nothing to do with what’s shown in the ad, but if you keep playing the super boring game, from time to time you get a chance to play a mini game inside of it which is still pretty boring but miles ahead of the rest of the game. Those mini games are what is shown in the ads.

    I don’t know how those games afford so many ads. Who is even playing them. I can only imagine some people actually play it just for fear of missing out because the constant ads for those games make the game itself appear popular.

    Reminds me of Alundra on the PS1, where at some point the game forced you to accept praying in a church; I tried to reject it but the game wouldn’t let me. It ended up being plot relevant in the end, as

    you prayed to some demon or something and that allowed him to enter your dreams or something like that, I don’t remember too well)

    I used to have an rpg on steam, with “fantasy” in the name. One day someone sent me an email asking if there was any way to remove all references to magic from the game so they could play it, as having witches and stuff was a big no for them, but they still wanted to try the game.
