I've been playing the early access for it a fair bit and I think it's gonna polish up really nicely

I plan on escaping the cycle by ceasing existence tbh

I have had a very similar experience. I still avoid driving whwnever I can. A different take on what your father said, I think a car accident is just another, fairly common, lesson in how to drive. It can be true both that almost everyone has had an accident AND that being in an accident can be traumatic and very off-putting. Your feelings are absolutely valid. Sadly, in the U.S., being able to drive is more or less required to be able to participate in pretty much anything.

Ultimately, my crash drove me to be a much more careful and aware driver, and while I still hate to drive, looking back I think being in an accident was probably inevitable for me. I don't know where I'm going with this, I can't give advice or anything, just wanted to share.

No, it's the difference between software engineering and software development. If your project manager is handling that, your org is wack

If you're not understanding why the spec is the way it is, you're just creating job security for your replacement lol

Lmfao the hardest part of building a product is understanding customer wants and needs. LLMs are incapable of understanding

40 hours per book, I mean. For reference, the stormlight archive books are about 55 hours apiece

Yep! Just edited my comment with a bit more info. The main series is 8 books, 40 hours in audiobook form, with an extra half length book about a side character after 7. It's still being written.

It's not 40k! It's a physics professor who gets turned into a vampire, learns magic, and get isekai'd. Every book is a hard left turn from the one before, so I can't tell you a ton about them without major spoilers, but they're really really great. Specifically topical is magicians are different from wizards. Magicians learn spells by rote and are like phd engineers, they might only make one new spell every few years but it's gonna be damn efficient and effective. Wizards are the magical garage tinkerers, rarely learning spells academically like magicians do but cobbling together what they need on the fly. It's a fascinating setting because it is sort of magically learning stagnant, with the people capable of the highest feats of magic incredibly specialized in a domain not develping much new, while the innovators are the ones who are weaker and more downtrodden. I cannot recommend it enough.

You would enjoy the nightlord series. First book is a bit rough though
