          same, man. It's fricking infuriating to see that almost nobody has the brains to be on his level when it comes to something as simple as seeing the world for what it is.

            The guy is a ridiculous whiner - I saw a video of his, where he claimed nothing impressive has been done in engineering and technology in the last 40 years.

              this is true though. we have smaller computers, that's nice, but they're still just 1980s tech. other fields don't even have that much to brag about.

                Yeah, the computers still have logic gates inside of them but the machinery needed to create them at 5nm scale are an engineering marvel.

                sure, what the photolithography people did is insane, but it's just used to make smaller versions of things that were around in the 1980s. also, it's pretty much the only thing you can point to.
                if you fell asleep in 1940 and woke up in 1980 your mind would actually explode. if you fell asleep in 1980 and woke up today you would be... kind of let down?
                we don't even have some of the luxuries they had back then. does having an ipotato in everyone's pocket make up for not having the concorde? i dunno. seems like they did more harm than good if anything.

                I understand that whining is an ego-defence mechanism and when you haven't achieved anything yourself it's easy to cope that others aren't doing great either. My advice - pull your head out of your ass and get to work.

        a game developer would certainly think so. I don't really see it myself. if you gave me a choice between working on unreal and doing modern webdev, I'd pick unreal any fricking day of the week.

          that's because we've purposefully made it more difficult than it needs to be. web development is full of "fake" problems

    you'll get pros and cons with an attribute like that, if an autist is going after an autist audience then they'd probably do better than a general developer. an autist going after a general audience might not be able to understand what a general audience wants

    idt any famous game developer you can think of is actually autistic just highly intelligent

    No, they just probably excel in certain tasks. I know a guy who works for Blizzard (or he did last time we spoke a year ago), and he's incredibly autistic about backend networking management. Last time we spoke he went on like a fifteen minute rant about how the dev teams working with CoD should kill themselves for using substandard UDP methods.

    Then he decided to focus on vapor-ware unoriginal programming language with no interesting or differentiating features.
