Like we've got the most brilliant minds in computer science figuring out how to make cool explosions and slick sword fighting mechanics and then we're leaving the regular devs to build accounting software.
I understand why in the sense of what the difference is in complexity between programming an entire physics engine vs putting together a SQL database. Just seems kinda funny that it's gamerz pushing the envelope of human achievement in this space. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

Same thing happens in the advertising industry. The best and brightest are being recruited to figure out new ways to make people click on ads.

I gave up working in marketing because I realised that the most challenging aspect of that job would be to figure out exactly how to mine as much data about other people as possible in order to make them buy more shoes.

If a developer has a passion for games, they will make games.
Understanding how the software works and being inspired to create are two separate things. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM ... Copied to Clipboard!

Devs don't work in games for the money, they typically take a pay cut for working in the field. They do it because the challenges are usually more interesting, and because video games are fun.

When I gave up my faith in the tech industry was when I saw an ad in like 2013 for "Microsoft Kinect" informing me that it had medical applications.
It's sad af that the cutting edge is for entertainment and years and years after the fact people finally decide to ask if this thing could be used to safe effing lives. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...

Best devs work for giant megacorps like google, microsoft, amazon, etc.This is the other problem. You can dev something cool for pennies a year or you can accept a nice salary and dev something that moves files around. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...
