Thoughts
Sniff Test Fail
I worry about the media consumed by aspiring game developers. Threat Interactive (Kevin Jimenez) and Pirate Software (Jason Hall) fail the same sniff test. They are far to often the loudest voice in the room, unfortunately.
Management Disconnect
I still maintain a strong belief that despite an individuals best efforts, once you stop doing IC work and move into management you loose touch with those teammates. I see it time and time again, through actions and words. I respect companies that attempt to enforce a 50/50 culture.
AI Pitch
I do find AI is useful, but only for things that exist already. I have yet to see it create something innovative, nor solve the coding challenges I put forth. The larger problem it introduces in the software engineering space (that I see) is the removal of the “eating your vegetables” learning of the next generation of developers.
