Yeah it’s why at later jobs I advocate for complexity points and don’t do consulting anymore.
Tying money to hours spent on a task just encourages all the wrong behavior.

I just don’t work at places that do time tracking like that anymore.
My favorite was getting reamed because you put 30 minutes over the estimated hours on a task.
It made task accounting a nightmare as you’d have to dump hours onto unrelated task whenever something inevitably took longer than expected.
Yeah like the default is 1 dollar for 20 or something pathetic.
And there’s a mandatory humble bundle tip that used to not be there.
People that advocate for presentation naming haven’t endured a major company rebrand.
Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn’t actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard that term before in my life and I’ve been doing this for a while.
And I don’t think I ever wanna hear it again.

Was just about to cancel gamepass and then saw this dropped. I can hold onto it for one more month to check this out.

IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.
As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only “choice” is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn’t have time to so any of those branching paths.
I appreciate it like I would a visual novel more than I do an interactive game.
I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you’re heavily familiar with that time.
I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don’t have that experience though I agree it does not land.
I can’t unsee that noodle hand now
No Starch Press usually does good stuff.
No Starch, Manning, and O’Reilly are my go to publishers for tech books.
I try to avoid Packt like the plague.
And not make the site impossible to use.
Most sites nowadays its impossible to actually read a goddamn article without 5 pop in videos and ad breaks.
The modern internet is a fucking nightmare
