Was Ben able to get the funding necessary for all the Wing Commander crap? Is he still obese? Haven't seen him in awhile. Edit: somebody pay my tax please.

Ben got the money. He's still obese, and probably hasn't seen his wiener in longer than it's been since you've seen him.

Did your software projects envision an ENTIRE ONLINE UNIVERSE where your employees would interact with computerized non-employees in order to navigate their day-to-day duties, complete with mo-capped janitors? I have about another dozen questions I could ask along this line, but you can fill in the blanks.

hi Ben I know you're struggling to make sense of your current circumstance. On the one hand, Sandi is your friend and you know you mean alot to her. On the other hand she seems to have side-lined you in a pretty significant way...just as she did with Wingman in years past. Chris doesn't give you the same energized conversations about obscure wing commander memorabilia like he once did. You've been assured its ok to lurk by the staff lounge area during the day even though you're technically not employed at CIG anymore....but people always seem to need to get back to work whenever you try to have a conversation. Hell, developers literally tell you to gently caress off whenever you offer input on anything now. It must feel like you were just on the greatest roller-coaster of all time, and now just as you were ready to take a second ride the railings collapsed right before your eyes and clipped into the "replace me" texture that represents planet earth. But all of that is ok. Because you can still be the hero Ben Lesnick. This can still be your story. All you have to do is tell the truth. Drop the dime on CIG and you will be the hero we deserve. It's needed now more than ever. Transcend your Oedipal conflict and leave Chris to handle the fallout. It's better late then never Lesnick. Take the hero's journey and make the Star Citizen Thread Great Again.

Wiz posted:A dream is not a design document. A vision is not a milestone. Without planning and direction you're not going to accomplish jack squat, no matter how great an idea sounds in your head. This is the best software engineering advice I've ever gotten from a dead comedy forum, bar none. On a slightly different topic, some pages back, Lazarin brought up the old saw about how CIG are doing groundbreaking work of the (kind|scope|audacity) never attempted before. Statements like this are laughable on their face if you've written pretty much any nontrivial software, and have been paying attention to the relatively small number of hard technical details which actually emerge from CIG. I'm sure there are different examples which jump out to people working in different fields; the one that has always jumped out at me is CIG's use of XML. At least a year ago (pre "StarNetwork" days) CIG blamed their initial network performance problems on the fact that they were shoving huge wads of XML over the wire. The "coming soon" solution they proposed at the time, which would enable the huge space battles everyone was waiting for, was "binary XML". Backers accepted this on faith, and spent quite a while talking about how binary XML was going to solve everything. Here is a list of things that went through my head in the few seconds after I first read this report about XML being the cause of CIG's woes:
You don't need to know anything about "game development" to see the problems and the bad decisions here. You just to (1) need to know what causes performance constraints in networked applications, and (2) have written software which serializes data, after 2001. I mention 2001, because that's when YAML became a thing and started taking mindshare from XML in some programming communities. JSON (which you may have heard of) followed in 2002, and had already de facto replaced XML in the now hilariously-misnamed XMLHttpRequest by 2005/6. BSON (Binary JSON) followed with MongoDB in 2009. Google, a company which definitely does know something about efficient use of networks at massive scale, started using ProtoBufs internally in 2001 and released them publically in 2008. And there are many more: MessagePack, Apache Thrift, CapnProto... all newer than XML and all having learned from its mistakes. I had to look up binary XML to see what it actually was. According to wikipedia, it's pretty much the BSON/MessagePack equivalent for XML. But there was never an agreed upon standard implementation, and according to this pretty boring article from 2008, binary XML was barking up the wrong tree to solve XML's performance problems anyway. But yeah, CIG is totally full of crazy geniuses, pushing the envelope of what's possible. By shoving huge, bloated wads of XML over the internet. In 201

So this developer thinks that "change a bunch of stuff" without a specific feature of bug assigned to it is a problem with the tracking software they are using? What the hell are they doing regularly making changes to their code in a way that isn't implementing something new or fixing something old? Seriously, the reason their software doesn't have a changed a bunch of stuff work item type is because that's loving retarded.

lol lazrin picking medical software experience as his trump card is amazing, there isn't an industry besides Roberts Industries that is better at wasting millions of dollars on poorly specced features. also medical field software dev is so drastically and remarkably unlike gamedev, it's a perfect example of not understanding how experiences you've had in one area do not necessarily translate to even beginning to understand the demands of another but hey medical software == computers, MMOFPS games == computers, ergo via the transitive property...
