I did, but it wasn’t very good. If you really like the original, go ahead and give it a shot. Make sure you watch the Call To Arms movie, which is kind of a pilot for the spin-off.

Yes you should binge watch it.

Don’t skip season 1. There’s great character building in there. It does really set actual plot events in motion as well. I don’t know why anyone would say to skip it.

Now, you can decide whether to watch The Gathering (pilot episode, later released as a movie) before season 1 or not. They’ll make references to it in the show, but I don’t think most of the audience had seen it at the time those episodes aired, so skipping it might give you to “correct” experience. Some things are different that you’ll have to overlook, but there’s legitimate plot value there.

Stopping after season 4 is an ok thing to do, but I say go ahead and watch it. (Watch the Season 5 finale even if you do stop there, though).

Between seasons 4 and 5, you can watch or not watch the In The Beginning and Thirdspace movies. That’s the order they aired in. “in the beginning” is a prequel of sorts that adds some color to things we see flashbacks to throughout the show. Thirdspace was a season 4 episode that got cut when they rushed to finish the series early, I think?

The other movies…. Meh. The recent animated one was better than I expected, but I wasn’t expecting much…

My salary, I guess.

Everybody on my team is required to do on-call once they have enough experience (except for the low budget offshore contractors who I wouldn’t trust to do it anyhow…)

We have 2 people on call at a time, 1 primary and one backup. You do a week on backup, then the next week you’re primary.

There’s no set time limits etc, but if you get sucked into some fire, people are reasonable about letting you take some time off the next day or whatever.

All in all, there are very rarely fires that happen inside or outside of normal working hours. Making the whole team be on call helps incentivize everyone to write more stable code since it’s your own ass on the line.

I always wondered if those rocks they’re sitting on (and the one he was skipping, I guess) were changelings who lost a bet.

My favorite pastime is arguing about which JavaScript runtime is faster while I wait for my app to finish running O(n^n) table scans of my database.

Mainstream news outlets are just copying what their corporate sponsors ask them to say 99% of the time anyhow

What kind of use cases do people have for AI assistants in their web browsers?

If I haven't played either RDR game, should I start here or play 2 first? It seems like 2 might be a better game and I don't have to worry too much about knowing the story from the first one?
