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.

I have enjoyed using gamemaker, but they changed to a subscription model I heard.

Completed several smaller games with Godot and I love it. But I am also big on the whole Fuck-Corporate-Mostly-Everything which makes me like Godot even more, since it is open source and community driven.

I tried it and I like it a lot. It's so light there is a website you can use godot online in. I like light tools.

"CARSHING"? Yeah... That tracks.

Fuck Rails, which is why some people made their own Ruby env manager.

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.

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.

Oh, so like tomcat then.

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.

Cattle, not pets.

But also, stop building stupid and inefficient software. We have these immensely powerful platforms that pervade server farms and consumer devices alike fucking everywhere these days. One of the marked downsides is that now everyone who just wants to finish the MVP and doesn’t care about system efficiency, reliability, and robustness just throws a pile of ass-tier frameworks at the problem and calls it done.

Use more Rust. It’s good for you. It’s good for the practice of computer science writ large. It’s good for the world.

I spent some time dabbling with it about six months back. Never had any issues

Run it in production.

Carshing

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 hours ago

yes, the typo

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

more like SQLAlchemy is always "carshing".

rails, although slow, is pretty damn stable if your code isn't absolute trash.

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

this was made by a friend who uses rails with ruby...and is ass at ruby

[–] fmixolydian@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago

understandable, given i picked up that language barely a week ago.

also, about rails crashing - it was bc rails wasn't importing ActiveSupport::LoggerThreadSafeLevel::Logger properly.

another reason i dont like rails is the sheer complexity of its project structure (seriously, 20 dirs/files for an empty project? django compared to that is like a feather to an anvil) - although some of its components (like active record) are admittedly fairly good, when used in isolation (if it wasn't for the fact that migrations don't work as rails is broken)
