The Glass Is Deprecated

The eternal duality of game development! At the top, AAA studios with billion-dollar budgets somehow still blame their "proprietary engines" for basic loading issues. Meanwhile, indie devs are just frantically duct-taping together code snippets from StackOverflow and YouTube tutorials, ready to disown any part that doesn't work with the classic "not my code" defense. The true secret sauce of game development isn't elegant architecture—it's finding increasingly creative ways to blame your tools while praying nobody looks too closely at that spaghetti code monster you've summoned into existence!

The programmer's journey to enlightenment, visualized as expanding brain memes. Starting with the lazy "just ask ChatGPT" approach, then graduating to StackOverflow searches (the industry standard). But true galaxy brains dig deeper—from ancient forum threads to dusty textbooks to ISO standards documents. And for those problems that make you question reality itself? Track down the language creator's hometown for clues, or the nuclear option—talk to his mom. "Yes Mrs. Stroustrup, your son's multiple inheritance implementation is giving me nightmares again." The irony? We've all done the bottom one at 3am when nothing else works. Desperation breeds creativity.

The evolution of our code is like Noah's bizarre coding ark. At the top, we've got the majestic StackOverflow elephant carrying us through deadlines, the documentation rabbit that nobody reads, GitHub's bear-minimum code contributions, the professor's penguin-perfect examples that never work in real life, your friend's crocodile code (dangerous but sometimes useful), and your actual code... just lying there, barely alive. Then suddenly—a miracle! That unholy chimera of copy-pasted snippets, caffeine-fueled 3AM hacks, and pure desperation somehow WORKS. The client stares at your Frankenstein's monster of code with the same bewilderment you have. Nobody knows how or why it runs, but it does, and we're all too afraid to refactor it.
