@Cyanite yeah that's fair, I've got 12 tb or smtn at home (nas + main pc), but this is work. And it's for frontend web development. Kinda wtf.
-
@yusijs So you're litetally just writing HTML/CSS files?
-
@Cyanite and javascript! But on that pc, yeah. I'm hired as a frontend engineer, so I dont touch the backend unless I absolutely have to.
-
@yusijs Okay, I'm a self-tought programmer.. Soo.. 'Front-end' is just what you see, right? 'Back-end' is the functions?
-
@yusijs OHHHHHH okay.. What about non-web? Lets say.. Building a (minimal) game engine(more like a framework), and then writing a game on top of it by ones-self?
-
@yusijs a few VMs / emulators to test things on various platforms/browsers, Chrome eating up lots of ram.
If you cost them ~$100 / hour and work 8 hours / day 225 days / year you will cost them $180.000 in a year. If you spend 15 minutes per day waiting for your computer or performing unnecessary actions like having to close down one VM/Emulator to launch another the wasted time would cost them $5625 in a year. (It is also likely that such an expensive computer can be used by someone else once you're done with it) -
@Cyanite building a game is generally a teamwork. Their are people who specialize in designing skins and maps and then there are those who work in system level. But web games now thats a front-end developer task. Building a game engine or framework even a web one like phaser is different.

@KartikShetty I've never tried to work in a team. Never had to. I just do everything on my own, and turn to Stacks when I need help.
-
@Cyanite I am not saying it is necessarily a team game. You can go for it all alone, but that's just lot of work. Especially for lazy people like me.
-
@KartikShetty Not me. I prefer coding to gaming, or.. Anything else. I spend most of my working on my game. Even more so the past few days, now that I have a Patreon and I'm actually geting paid to work(be it only $9/mo atm). :P
Last I started my new job, and I got 2 new laptops (one from my job, amd a separate from the client, as I'll be there full time for at least a year). The work one was pricy af imo (P50, ~2500$ ex. VAT), then I got the client one... wtf is wrong with these people, the laptop cost fucking 6000$ (again, ex. VAT).
Now on the personal side I'm cheap as fuck, and the current laptop I use is one that was meant to be scrapped at my old job that I took home to fix. While it's fun getting those laptops, my brain cannot stop thinking "why the fuck do I need 64 gb ram, 2tb storage and 500gb NVME ssd to basically write text?"
