Content Replying to If you knew how game development goes, you'd know that visuals are one of the first things done. This game is 4 years into planning development. What you see is almost exactly what you will get. The next year is mission coding and debugging. All backend stuff. It does look ass. 01:13 19092022 Twitter for Android 61 Quote Tweets 9 Likes ProdrammerHumor.io

That beautiful moment when you hand over your legacy codebase like a soggy cardboard box on a clothesline. "Here's that microservice I built at 3 AM during a production outage. No documentation, just vibes. Good luck figuring out why it crashes every third Tuesday!" Meanwhile you're skipping away to greener pastures while your replacement stares at 5,000 lines of uncommented spaghetti code with variable names like 'temp1' and 'finalFinalREALLYfinal2'. The digital equivalent of leaving a time bomb with a sticky note that says "it works on my machine!"

Game developers know the pain. You spend hours optimizing your code, squeezing every last frame out of your game, when suddenly your own "brilliant" feature idea comes along and murders your performance in cold blood. Then you have the audacity to blame the engine! Classic developer self-sabotage at its finest. Unity gets a bad rap, but let's be honest—we're the ones adding particle systems that spawn 10,000 objects with real-time shadows while wondering why our game runs at 3 FPS. The duality of game dev: creating the problem, then being shocked when it exists.

The eternal Google search for "regex for email validation" is the tech equivalent of forgetting how to spell "necessary" - no matter how many times you learn it, your brain refuses to store that information. After a decade of coding, you'd think your brain would finally commit regex patterns to memory. Nope. That neural pathway is permanently replaced with useless trivia and coffee brewing techniques. The regex heroes on Stack Overflow who can write these patterns from memory deserve hazard pay. The rest of us will forever be copying and pasting cryptic incantations like ^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$ while silently praying it actually works.
