For me it all depends on how often a project changes. If it's constantly in flux, I don't bother remembering any of it because I might not be the last one who touched it. The more you try to remember everything, the more wrong you become due to the successive work of your coworkers.

Given that "existing outside" is harmful to it, I'm guessing that the covering is basically required.

There are so many ways to be a hero for those around you. Why end your life when you could dedicate your life to help those in need? When you feel at your lowest, remember that there is someone, right now, who wants to know and believe in you and who hopes that you could do your very best to help them and others.

This is intended to be motivating. Instead of leaving a hole in the world, you could become a role model for others.

There's a patent on the game mechanic?

googled it

Yup, that is crazy. At least it's only for another 11 years. Just think about how old you will be before you'll ever see that game mechanic again.

Which games are those?

That sounds really cool.

Thanks for the reply.

This seems like a great way to ensure that the player can't beat the level. I assume there's a maximum difficulty where the enemy is still possible to beat?

Also, when does the boosted difficulty reset for the level? After beating it? I am not a fan of frustrating games, so I can't even imagine playing a game like this without just quitting.

What is the mechanic? I've never played it.

It happened to a friend who wasn't passing in the proper types into their stored procedures, all strings, and "null" (not case sensitive) conflicted with actual null values. Everything in the web interface were strings, and so was null.

For some people it takes this mistake before they learn to always care about the data types you're passing in.
