Doesn’t matter, still driving up prices of old Toyota trucks and when you can say “hey look they last forever and don’t depreciate much”, it’s easier to sell new trucks, even if they’re mechanically very different.

Just fork it from before 2025 when Claude Code was released?

Working as a game dev is just uh… dumb.

Triple A at least guarantees your paycheck until you’re laid off and then you get a severance. Which can happen at any moment. Also you have to do crunch.

Indie games don’t even guarantee you a stable paycheck. It’s sorta contingent on how well the game does. Unless it’s an established indie company in which case it’ll be triple A soon.

Nobody should be a game dev as their day job unless they’re a millionaire already. Otherwise, it works best as a side project to do while working as a dev in literally any other industry that requires devs.

Funnily enough, you can use Vibe, Claude and Codex with local models if you configure them so. OpenCode supports it explicitly (while still retaining a cloud option because dev wants to make money)

So this isn’t anything too new, but eh, at least it’s more attention to the self-hosting capability of LLMs for code agents.

I don’t know if I could pick three favourites like that. Grep, cat, ls probably.

I’m a software engineer though, I don’t have to use ssh on a daily basis for work (thanks to all the work devops people have done)

I mean I can’t see what the comment was and I’m assuming it must’ve been downright hateful, but that person almost certainly has learned a foreign language just to communicate with the world and in fact had to learn another foreign language in school because their name is Estonian for “gypsy” and learning two foreign languages (usually English and Russian, sometimes German or something else for the second foreign language) is required. Likely they speak 2.5 languages as is common here (my German is so bad I count it as half a language - native speakers speak too fast for me, but I can kinda get my point across if needed), but could be more.

Just pointing out that even when trying to be accepting of others, subtle anglo-defaultism can show up in your comment, not that I necessarily agree with whatever the comment was.

Why if I already need to know Docker for work, but not the others

I’ve used Kunernetes but not Ansible lol

Yes, that was my point, you (generally) link statically in Rust because that resolves dependency issues between the different applications you need to run. Cost is a slightly bigger, bloatier binary, but generally it’s a very good tradeoff because a slightly bigger binary isn’t an inconvenience these days.

Docker achieves the same for everything, including dynamically linked projects that default to using shared libraries which can have dependency nightmares, other binaries that are being called, etc. It doesn’t virtualize an entire OS unless you’re using it on MacOS or Windows, so the performance overhead is not as big as people seem to think (disk space overhead, though… can get slightly bigger). It’s also great for dev environments because you can have different devs using whatever the fuck they prefer as their main OS and Docker will make everyone’s environment the same.

I generally wouldn’t put a Rust/Cargo project in docker by default since it’s pretty rare to run into external dependency issues with those, but might still do it for the tooling (docker compose, mainly).

True, Docker does it better because any executables also have redundant copies. Running two different node applications on bare metal, they can still disagree about the node version, etc.

The actual old-school bloat-free way to do it is shared libraries of course. And that shit sucks.

Main benefit of Docker for home is Docker compose IMO. Makes it so easy to reuse your configuration

Actually docker is excellent for building from source. Some projects only come with instructions for building in Docker because it’s easier to make sure you have tested versions of tools.

Both your examples actually include their own bloat to accomplish the same thing that Docker would. They both bundle the libraries they depend on as part of the build

This seems to be an ad for a windows based product. I agree with your points though.
