From what i've heard of the game industry, being a gamedev is already survival horror.

[-] noobdoomguy8658@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

I had a friend doing mobile gamedev, making near unheard-of money for their then city of residence, had everything going well for them... except the job was soul-crushing and draining, eventually giving them severe depression.

When I was getting my first dev job, they said I'd be really sorry about doing outsource, and I just thought that out of us two, I'd be the really happy one, even making much less than them.

Not really visual anymore innit

Spotlight studio

[-] Nightwind@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago

Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don't know how he did it.

[-] 2deck@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

Programming happens in the mind. Whats on the screen is a pale and lifeless polaroid devoid of the moving, complex soul of real code.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

That feels like that scene in Amadeus, when Mozart dictates his music to Salieri.

[-] Nightwind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.

[-] 2deck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed; or their mind and style style.

Auto formatting is often too rigid for me and gets in the way of context driving the style.

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Albino? There was an albino in my IT and the poor dude would literally be like 4 inches from the screen at all times. I guess that must be pretty close to his experience, yeah.

[-] locuester@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I worked with an albino like that who used a handheld magnifying glass. It actually inspired me to write a magnifier application for windows (which didn’t have one at the time, this was in 2006). That then led me to write little windows apps every day for a month, which got a lot of attention.

Yeah so you gotta buy the lumafly lantern before you go in that area

I never expected a Hollow Knight reference here

non-AMOLED devices spreading misinfo by enabling dark mode by default on low battery and it's consequences...

TFW when all of your bugs are like cockroaches that run away from the light but hide in the dark where you can’t see them.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

This is a blessing. You won't have to look at the spaghetti the last dev left behind.

[-] BurningnnTree@lemmy.one 26 points 1 year ago

It should play a jump scare sound when you get an exception

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 year ago

With a good eye-tracker and some tweaking, this might be usable...

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

...and OLED screens the price of LEDs...

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 20 points 1 year ago

I use an LCD monitor so there is no difference in power consumption. I preferred the old view, how do I go back?

[-] Poxlox@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago
[-] thechadwick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Just have to delete the system32 directory. That gets rid of the changed settings the fastest.

[-] HaveYouPaidYourDues@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

That's a $10.99/month subscription

[-] flameguy21@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This should be considered a war crime

laughs in IntelliJ multi cursor mode

[-] Eonandahalf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What…. Why..?!

Is it for double speed ?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It does get its uses. Mostly editing similar lines, multiple methods at the same time, etc. Makes you look like a ninja too

[-] fsr1967@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If you have multiple similar lines, you can perform the same editing on them all at once.

Coincidentally, there are writing (as in fiction, not code) apps just like this.

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

The animation that goes with this is pretty slick: https://x.com/Phantom_TheGame/status/1748457358521426375?s=20

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

The real horror is when you discover the monster behind all those errors haunting your sleepless nights... Was you all long

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Is it 1st of April already? Damn, time flies

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Oh hey, it's modern ed!

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Makes a change from Visual Studio turning white because it has hung yet again.

[-] Feyr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You have been eaten by a grue

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Anti-peeking filter is looking dope! Nobody will be able to look at my screen anymore, me included!

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of when CodeBullet turned Pacman into a first person horror game

[-] SomeoneWhoIsntMe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I kinda want this to be real…

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

It's not too far off from how ed works!

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

ed, the "standard editor" (according to its man page) and the predecessor of vi (the "visual editor"), is a terminal editor that doesn't automatically display any of the text you're working on; you have to use the p ("print") command to display the lines your wish to see.

[-] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

If you have a Linux or Mac handy, you can trying it out! It's...kinda wild. If you know some Vim commands that start with :, there's a good chance they'll work in ed, except you don't type : itself (effectively you're always in "command mode").

There's also a novelty Twitter account, @ed1conf, that tweets about ed.

Some coworkers told me a story about a previous job candidate who said his preferred editor was ed. They thought it would be really interesting to see someone actually use it. But during the actual interview, when he opened ed, he didn't recognize or understand it; he was actually accustomed to a graphical editor that he thought was called ed because he apparently did all his work on a system where someone had symlinked or aliased ed to a modern tool.

Have fun:

Does anyone remember when something like this actually happened? Maybe it's the Mandela effect but U sweat at one stage a whole heap of sites were using black/dark mode to save the planet

[-] SqueakyBeaver 2 points 1 year ago

I use it to save my eyeballs
