I hear you. It’s amazing how much some company’s code / projects is allowed to suck.

Not even “my” tiny-little-side-module inside the project source recompiles within 20 seconds… because of absurdly complex and large dependencies to the actual project code.

Dude shouldn’t worry. Kids will understand that he has or had a boring job with not much to talk about… and still be the greatest dad in the world. Kids don’t care about the job of their parents.

My current project is building a (almost) 1gb Java rich client which takes around 2minites to load… while it’s merely a gui with some small client to client capabilities. The technical debt is insane, and it’s only getting worse because neither can they afford to rebuild it from scratch.

It does have that vibe, but it’s unarguably true that a lot of software and websites are ridiculously bloated and slow.

Cosmic Encounter is my perfect game. Endless replayability.

Azul is my perfect family game. Runner up: Alhambra

Quacksalber von Quedlinburg is my newest “Do you know this game? No? Let’s play a round”-game.
