They don’t even need engineers. Here’s how to make these systems safer:

Or we could just make it illegal for car manufacturers to make “hackable cars”....

Yup, this is exactly right on every count. I had a 92 SHO with a manual in dark green. Great car.

I’m more frustrated that they don’t simply try to apply this to a physically moving object and end the debate. Seriously, if it can make a 10 lbs prototype model slide along an indoor track (not downhill) at more than 5 mph. Well then, we have more thrust than ZERO.

I think you were at bigger studios than me and that’s reflected in the problems you experienced that I did not. I never dealt with the bad middle management folks re-guessing design decisions except on indie-free projects.

I still think he should have gone without the flag. I think there’s a bigger impact when you realize the person confronting you is a normal regular person first, activist/ambassador second.

I agree it’s good to have some passion, but in my time as a developer, I noticed there were “peak hours” of productivity in which I could blaze ahead with incredible quality compared to what I could produce later on in the day. I only do my “amazing 2 am miracle work” when I’m doing personal work at home or on an…

Yeah but she’s a white girl doing “bling-rapping”. How can you not feel it? This has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

I didn’t say “paint it black”. I’m just saying ANY OTHER COLORS THAN BRIGHT ASS RED.

Yes, but when will they lop off a cylinder or two from the Miata and turbocharge the living bejeezus out of it until it’s mildly faster at unexpected times and goes faster to 60 mph? I know that sports car purists like Boxter and Miata owners only want two things - fuel economy, and powerfully erratic throttle…

It’s not just that, it makes it look really civilian-looking. It seems so harmless in its current guise.

You’re thinking of Hero’s Journey type stuff.

Yeah pizza and ping pong and beer. Good memories. We once had a margarita machine + nacho thing rented out.

Hehe, you may have already seeing as you’re in Austin. Mike McShaffry was the producer I was referring to. Great guy to work with.

Good article. My last studio had a GOOD producer. That meant I could go home on time, crunch wasn’t frequent...AND our games hit our milestones on time so we could RELEASE THE GAME!!! People have no idea how hard it is to actually FINISH a game. Without a good producer, it’s like having 10 jugglers who just keep…

Yes, quite nasty. But is she nasty enough that she’s finally a Witch?

Ah, you missed the point. Let me put you at ease. I AM UNCONSCIOUSLY RACIST. YOU ARE UNCONSCIOUSLY RACIST. WE ARE ALL UNCONSCIOUSLY RACIST.

No, I don’t really, I just pay attention. Being racist doesn’t mean being open about it 100% of the time.

You’re not doing a very good job of convincing me of your intent. If you stopped at “reminding everyone to be skeptical of online reviews” I might have started to think you were on something.

What if your own personal anecdote was actually completely unrelated to this story?
