You're a small, scrappy, tech team working on a large and very complicated code base.
The CTO hasn't implemented git yet. Straight ftp to prod.
You suggest git.
CTO says git is a sign of skill issues.
What do you do?

Ok hear me out...
A completely browser based video game. Always free. Light multi-player.
* Zig
* HTMX
* WebAssembly
* Pure DOM
Why? To learn by doing crazy things.
I think it's doable.
@htmx_org
better be ready for the massive attention this is clearly going to get.

I've been pretty quiet on a lot of personal opinions.
Hey, uh, Unreal Engine, how about a nice big bowl of "fuck you"? Fresh, from me to you.
I know these are *guidelines* but this is the stupidest shit I've ever seen "suggested" to me in terms of code I should write.
Ever.

In my opinion, the best way to learn a massive amount of programming concepts, solve interesting problems, with huge overlap to real life problems. I've been building my own game with my viewers. It's been eye opening. Also, a lot of fun.

It doesn't. You get breaks, though. Here's the deal: kids are a good way to find out what you, as a parent and general human being, are made of. You already know this to be true. You already have done things you didn't think you were capable of. Lean into it.

I think I'm crazy because I'm about to implement HTMX web components such that the components are usable with Laravel via server side rendering and can also use a REST API and you can also mix and match components from any other framework and... it will all just work.

I did a 72 hour stream for the dev community because Twitch isn't doing enough for the category.
12 hours since the stream ended and nothings been done.
Engineers are still out in the cold.

I'm a self taught developer. No high school degree. I slept on the streets and park benches while working for free on borrowed computers to get experience.
If a company is saying they're not hiring self taught devs anymore, I can understand why, but, like anything... nuance.

Not doing react content no more. I have a lot to offer the dev community and re-reading/watching existing stuff (a) doesn't do the original stuff justice and (b) I want to speak from my own experiences.
