- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 5 weeks ago:
These people have made a bajillion Assassin’s Creed games. I guess sequels excite the existing player base, but I always felt that was a double edge sword because they often fail to engage new players. I personally missed Assassin’s Creed 1 through 8636292, so it’s hard to see why I should start at 8636293. Also, I’m think existing players also get tired of a franchise some times and aren’t always excited for the next one.

- Comment on Why Japan's internet is weirdly designed 2 months ago:
Yea, visiting Japan does feel like they are stuck in a retro vision of the future where everything by was going to be driven by buttons. There are buttons everywhere, including at your table in a restaurant and on every toilet too. The toilets even have heated seats, bidets, and play music, all driven by buttons. They also have vending machines everywhere, which are covered in buttons. Ordering ramen at a restaurant? Make sure you tap all the buttons at the machine in the front to make your order.
They still haven’t quite adopted the touch screen fully.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 months ago:
Part of this is related to how the 2017 tax law changed how companies can write off the costs of software development. Those rules didn’t kick in until 2022, which is when things started to get messy for the tech industry.
cooley.com/…/2023-09-25-irs-publishes-guidance-on…
As I understand it, the rule reverted in the most recent tax bill this year. Of course, that will take some time to kick in. We are also in a recession, which no one is acknowledging yet. So, may take some time to recover.
