More like the prime guideline

The thing about being straight is that it’s really easy to get bent out of shape apparently.

Just say Denuvno

I sense a great disturbance in the economy, as though a million souls suddenly took leave and were suddenly gaming.

I own a switch and a steam deck and I’ve bought my switch games. Nintendo is telling me I’m not allowed to run the games I legally purchased from them on my steam deck. Fuck 'em. Piracy isn’t a new thing, you don’t even need emulation to pirate games on the PC but PC gaming is thriving.

Sounds like you need to add some sleep statements somewhere in your deployment scripts if you want to deploy in 10 seconds

There were quite a lot of people trying it out at Pax here. Hopefully it sells well so we get future hardware in a more timely manner 🤞

Non DRM Steam games also cannot be taken away from you once downloaded. To be fair GoG installers are a lot more accessible though.

For me single player is number one followed by low pressure multiplayer with friends. Can be co op or PvP but the main thing is casual and low stress. Already have enough of that in my real life.

Has anyone told them they can probably use AI to search for opportunities for lawsuits?

No worries, sounds like you’re definitely on the right track with your approach.

In terms of the style of editor I don’t have a strong preference, I think the most important thing is discoverability which generally means putting docs where they are expected to be found and using whatever your team or org is using. Personally I have a slight preference for markdown mainly because it’s easy to version control, see who wrote what (so I can ask them questions) and use all the tools I’m used to that work well with plain text. Tools that use more WYSIWYG style can be good too though and many of them like Notion have the advantage of making it relatively easy to search across your entire companies documentation assuming everyone uses the one tool.

For my personal notes I use Logseq which I highly recommend. It’s a bit of both, markdown under the hood but with a simple editor that lets you focus on writing notes, tasks and links.

I would say as a new junior dev you are uniquely placed to help with this. Documentation tends to be written by people who know a lot about a thing and they try to imagine what might be useful for someone. Someone new coming in with a fresh perspective can help uncover assumed knowledge or missing leaps to make the documentation better. One of the common onboarding steps I’ve seen is to go back and update/improve the onboarding docs after you’ve just been onboarded for example.

I would say pick your battles though because documentation can be a never ending task and documents are almost always out of date shortly after they are written. Think about what would have saved you time or mental overhead if it was just written down and fix those first.

As far as organising and writing, every place is different and it can depend on the tools your org is using. In general I’d at least have links to relevant docs as close to where they might be needed as possible. Like how to set up and get up and running with a code base should probably be documented directly in the readme, or at least linked to if it’s overly complicated.

Hopefully that’s at least somewhat helpful. It’s definitely a problem basically everywhere I have worked though, you have to do what you can and not stress too much about it.

I hope they finally launch it officially, it’s been such a long time. I’m mostly hopeful that if they do launch the Steam Deck then they might also launch future hardware as well without such a big delay.

Lol indeed. Well this has been fun, you have a particularly delicious lack of self awareness that I always appreciate in these sorts of discussions so I look forward to seeing your next very helpful and clever contribution in future threads.

Have fun!

I’m not expecting to make any kind of point, I’m just giving you a well deserved ribbing for being an asshole. It’s strictly for entertainment purposes.

If you think the only explanation for someone taking issue with you is they are stupid or don’t understand sarcasm, I really don’t know what to tell you.

As I said before, I admire your confidence even if it is sorely misplaced. If you don’t want to listen to me though there’s this neat button right under my comment there that says ‘block user’ if you don’t wish to read my replies. Just trying to be helpful, of course!

It’s not that I don’t like your tone, I’m always down for a sarcastic quip. What I don’t like is dishonest people. You must think we’re all incredibly stupid if you expect anyone to believe your intent was to help by pointing out the upvote button.

I do admire your confidence, however misplaced, and your commitment to embodying your username though.

I really hope you’re not suggesting that you honestly think someone didn’t know about the upvote button? What a silly thing to imply that your sarcastic comment was supposed to be in some way actually helpful to someone.

You know if you don’t think a comment adds to the discussion there’s a purpose built button for you to express that exact sentiment? It’s right below the one you pointed out in your very helpful diagram.
