I bought Minecraft when it was first purchaseable. Only converted my account last month as my new-school-entrant kid has asked what it is.
And honestly, I wish I didn’t. The MS launcher is an absolute shit show in usability for adults, let alone kids. Next time it forces me to log back in I’m just pirating it.
I bought two copies, I’ll fucking run them how I please.
CGNAT is good. One more layer of obfuscation between me and the internet.
Sucks for those wanting to run services from home I guess.
He was a shareholder and board member too. He 100% was an instigator.
I worked for a tech company that went through an acquisition. The GM for my department knew what was up and insulated everyone from it.
6 months later, redundencies for every department but ours.

“When will X be delivered?” Look at X and all its dependencies, add up all the points, and guesstimate the time equivalence.
Kanban isn’t a free for all, you still need structure and some planning. But you take most of that away from the do-ers and let them do what they do best… do.

Then when competitors caught up, they made it as hard as possible to transition away from their ecosystem.
Like Apple, but worse.
I guess they learned from their Gaming heyday that not controlling the abstraction layer (eg OpenGL, DirectX, etc) means they can’t do lock in.
While suing everyone else that makes shovel handles that work with your shovel heads.
Is “lux touch marble” really a material? It’s a designer tile made from a number of other materials sold with an extravagant markup to part rich idiots with their money.
They’re just regular diamonds, but with flaws in the carbon lattice that just so happens to make them appear red.
I should probably be doing it anyway, but back to wearing masks in store.
If it’s making explosions your engine has too much compression.
Nah we want you to start all your fucking about, get any beverage or condiments you might want, wash your hands, and have everyone at the table ready to eat when the food is ready.
And subsequently, not get any criticism while we’ve finished our meal and you’ve just sat down because you had to go to the garage to get a new bottle of OJ, pee that became a poop, wash your hands, and find the sauce you’ve suddenly decided to dig out from the back of the pantry.
