    PBRT, Writing my own emulators, engines and games made me appreciate computer science so much so that I found webdev to be monotonous and boring enough to leave the industry.

    I’ve been out of the loop regarding game dev for the last few years, but I somewhat share the “fuck Unity” sentiment. Any one of you folks using Godot? I’ve heard pretty good stuff about it.

    Is Ruby on Rails known for crashing often? I’ve been a developer for something like 15 years and don’t understand the backend portion of this meme. Am I missing something?

      It’s been ages since I did Rails, but I remember that back then memory leaks were just a fact of life and you had to have a system that monitors the server processes and restarts them when the memory usage gets too high.

      I truly hope that’s not still the case.

        Lol with kubernetes et al style container orchestration + service architecture, I’d say this is almost becoming more common. It’s just so easy to automatically recycle a pod if one of the processes starts being too greedy.
