Google.... yawn...
Big Tech... yawn...

What's new and exciting these days?

Deez nuts

create something new we could all be excited about ;)

Honestly, we innovated and disrupted so fast, that our attention span reduced significantly while we constantly seek dopamine shots.

Having said that, there's nothing in tech that excites me anymore.

@Floydimus yes and no... The end products of these innovations are buggy and half assed.

It's like that tree and swing analogy...

Promising too much but not delivering...

These niche yet open devices that have been released lately (Steam Deck, Panic Playdate etc.)

Icq app ah oh

@Stuxnet that joke died a century ago

@Floydimus replace tech with life

Started creating VR games in Unity. Having fun so far!

@DEVil666 GOT EEM!!

@DEVil666 cry about it.

@Nihil75 also check UE 5.
Im having fun with the AR tutorials

@bioDan It's got too many features, and takes a strong machine to run.

With Unity I can focus on the actual game, it's light so I can leave it open in the background and get back to it when I have a moment.

Plus it uses C# which I'm having a lot of fun with.

@gogokun Super easy.

There's a lot of game-specific stuff to learn,

But I find my previous experience translates well to programming for games.

On infra/ops/networking/security - the game world actually feels a bit behind!

They don't use many tests, no cicd builds, basic collab workflows, and client/server networking is either simple HTTP requests or black-magick.

You won't get to use a lot of your infra/ops skills, but security you might.

Edit: mind you I'm working solo. Actually getting a job with no experience is tricky.
