Offworld Trading Company. Haven’t played the game but it’s a great sci-fi soundtrack by Christopher Tin of Civ IV fame.

Awesome work! I like the green camo pattern.

I program for a living and I think of it more as doing the interesting tasks all day, rather than the mundane and repetitive. Chat GPT and GitHub Copilot are great for getting something roughly right that you can tweak to work the way you want.

I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those “grown up” games I couldn’t play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it’s like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!

Best of luck, get well soon

As a software developer I promise you that software development is very much not an exact science.

Programs are complex and there are so many different ways of achieving the same thing that all code has problems and gets a bit messy in places. You can test, but it’s not easy to ensure that everything works the way it should.

The best code you’re going to get will probably be in the space industry, but even that will have bugs. The best you can do is make the code robust even when bugs make things go wrong.

In many cases copilot will do just as well as a junior developer. It’s very good at repetitive tasks and filling gaps in your existing code.

The book is Sacred and Terrible Air, it was written in Estonian but there are a couple of English fan translations. I enjoyed it. https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscoElysium/s/iVcX04yIRV

Me too! First game console and the only game I had for a while. I played that game to death.
