I've struggled with "This is bad for art" being used to indirectly say "it can do code though!" A lot of good points in this. An alternative part of "the wedge" is we (as engineers) are repeatedly asked to implement this process to take jobs/skills/fulfillment from our friends.
Minimal searching gives some good lists jobs.ffwd.org/jobs techjobsforgood.com I'll be keeping an eye on em and trying to figure out how to make "made it so a lot of animated guys can fight each other" applicable.... haha

People Make Games is such a great look into game dev. Watch and ask yourself if you think Rockstar fired them for saying "a game with 32 players in it" or if they were participating in forming a union. For me both seem ridiculous, but one seems more likely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnui...
My friend Jim wrote an article about his journey. It's pretty cool. medium.com/@jdeegz/buil...

language like this is so insulting, imo. is it a compulsory thing for CEOs to need to brag while laying people off?
Microsoft is laying off as many as 9,000 employees. Xbox chief Phil Spencer says the company โwill end or decrease work in certain areasโ of Microsoft Gaming. Full memo and details ๐ www.theverge.com/news/693535/...
