Name a better retro dev than Derek Smart, known for such classics as Battlecruiser 3000AD.

>> No.5290120

Couldn't have picked a worse way to say, "Hey, let's talk about a developer I find interesting. Here are some talking points..."

>> No.5290145

>>5290136
Well I can assure you that I never look at other threads to see if anyone else has created a thread about the same subject because I have an enormous sense of self-importance so if there are indeed other threads it is a coincidence that I created one as well. However Derek Smart is known for being very outspoken so it's possible that he said something recently that put him in a lot of people's minds.

The people who "push him in" are not the first, nor the last. They shall fade from history, and only Derek shall remain. You cannot harm a god. His body may be flesh and blood, but you cannot kill his story.

He was fucking mad when Dwayne Johnson's Rampage turned out to be a huge success because he felt like his Rampage movies were being erased. Frankly it always irritated me that there was a series of movies called Rampage and it wasn't an adaptation of the video games so I'm happy that changed.

Not that Rampage (2018) is very accurate to the video games, but it was acceptably fun.

My university had "software development" and "software engineering" programs, development was school of CS but engineering belonged to the school of engineering, and graduates came out as licensed (junior) engineers (they had to pass the FE equivalent exam to graduate uni). Then they can go work on implanted medical devices and other stuff that's life/safety critical.

It's overused and should be more strictly regulated but software engineering is a real discipline.
