I mean for a hobby project that no one cares about sure. Otherwise the whole CI/CD process was invented exactly to avoid having devs push untested and untrackable crap on production servers. So once there are more than two people in a team and paying customers with access to a lawyer that's going to be a hard pass.

Anyway the main reason your CI/CD are slow is that you're using $5 workers with 1Gb ram. There's a reason the build is faster on your 12 core/64Gb laptop, the issue is usually not the process, the issue is being cheap on the infrastructure. The only good thing about GitHub CI workers is that they are cheap but performance wise they are garbage.

You don't technically need docker though. It's just a convenience layer.

Something amorphous talking about donuts.

Elder Scroll Arena 12 ftw !

And I don't understand why we should care if it's unique as long as it's fun.

I'll tell you if you give me the dimension of the pool in standard banana units.

Seems aligned with Trump's habit of shafting his sub-contractors.

Oh don't get me started on modern "CS" curriculum of some schools, it's atrocious. I see them start learning about react and nodejs in year 1 because "that's what companies need" but that leaves them with massive fundamental knowledge gaps. I've seen people 5 years in their degree who struggled with Boolean logic.

I believe they should start at the bottom of the stack and climb up instead of starting somewhere at the top and being left oblivious about the massive amount of stuff going on below. And the "internship" system we have in my country is massive BS. Basically instead of learning they spend 1/2 of their education time doing menial job in companies. Which means their 5 years degrees is barely 2.5 of actual school time but we still like to pretend it's equivalent to a normal masters degree.

The "need of the industry" for "IT people" has lead to the proliferation of diploma mill curriculum that churn out monkeys lightly trained on the proverbial typewriter and calls them "software engineers".

But we still have excellent schools that produce very well trained people, and I do not believe they produce less of them, it's just that we also produce a lot more that went through bad curriculums.

You make the same mistake as the previous person. You take the exemple of the minority of people who cared to try to understand how computer worked and generalize it to the entire gen.

I have thousands of people in my office that prove everyday that millenial are for the most part tech illiterate and do not care about how thing works. I've seen the millenial arrive in the work env and the gen-z and there is absolutely no difference. Millenial were exactly as dumb (or as smart). If anything, I think gen-z are actually smarter because they come in not believing the corporate bullshit the X and the Y drank like cool-aid. But that's another topic.

In any case, all the stuff we had to go through didn't make us smarter, for every 10,000 of people of my gen who learned they had to edit autoexec.bat to launch a game, I'd bet that barely one knew what the heck himem.sys actually was. That didn't make them smarter, just monkeys who learned a trick.

So yeah, geeky gen-Z don't need to tweak as many parameters, they can directly launch fusion 360 and start designing parts for their 3D printers. Tech has moved on. Gen-Z geeks fiddle with other stuff than shitty windows drivers.

I don't know how many time I answered the same thing to the exact same argument but here goes:

In short, it's most likely not true. You're implying the the millennials were generally more competent but it's very likely wrong, the vast majority of people in that gen had absolutely no clue what they were doing on a computer most of the time they just knew how to do a few limited things with them.

The apps didn't make the masses tech illiterate, the app adjusted to the existing ones and removed the stuff they couldn't never understand, like where to save a file to be able to find it later. (I've worked in a support call center and I can tell you with 98.5% accuracy that the lost file is in system32).

The gen-z has quite a lot of smart, curious tech savvy people, and a vast majority of tech-illiterate people, so did the millenial, and the X, and the boomers.

This whole generational superiority argument is just as baseless as it was when my gen was blaming yours for being lazy, not able to learn anything due to a short attention span and an obsession for brunch and avocado toast.

They have both shrimp and pork flavor.
