They're pulling in ludicrous amounts of money, and it's pretty clear from the quality of content over the last 8 years or so that they're not investing more than a tiny fraction of it back into the game

They'll just continue to invest less and less in actual playable desktop games and more and more in toxic mobile dogshit as time goes on

So you're saying that you're single-handedly pulling in between 2x and 5x the median household US income, yet can't set aside $20k a year for your 401k?

That means you're either not living on a budget at all, or you're doing something ridiculous like paying out of pocket for prescription medication without using the ACA.

If you're writing so much software you hang out on HackerNews for fun, and you're not saving enough to max out your 401k AND have savings left over for 6 months off, you're doing your finances wrong (and/or you can get a 4x pay bump in a new job)

As someone with an Asian background, you should go read some of Seuss' newspaper comics where he argues for Japanese internment, and then look at that picture again in that context

Is it really so hard to include the few women who've managed to get anywhere in the industry?

The whining in this thread sounds like my white southern grandma getting mad about having to call "n**s" people

If you don't like it, go ahead and quit.

I REALLY doubt that anyone's going to get in trouble for addressing a group of 5 or 10 men as "you guys", but it's not the hardest thing in the world to just swap out "you guys" with "team" or "friends" or whatever

Lysol can destroy delicate coatings, so your screen won't be as anti-reflective, or your device's innards might be less waterproof, etc

Some cleaners can mess up the texture of rubber parts too

You can disinfect your electronics with rubbing alcohol and/or removable covers, but don't put Lysol or other harsh cleaning agents on them

It's like you ask someone if you can borrow their pen, and they say "Sure, but only if I can rifle through your wallet and attach this GPS tracker to you"

You guys should quit wasting your time on this BigCo BS and do something that will actually benefit your real career.

Yeah, a lot of humanity's potential is wasted on advertising, commodities market analysis, and developing javascript frontend code
