Lol good one. Thank you for brightening up my Monday.

In fairness to your cringey efforts we had a few weird obsessives from here trying to pin him down about LoD relentlessly for a while in the hopes they would be "the ones" and they pretty much vanished when people said they were accounts of people who worked for CIG.

Not because it was true of course. The shame of being inadvertently associated with that place is too much for a few of people. It's like the Star Wars The Old Republic launch tattoos.

They essentially do that when developing engine features. They branch the code, work on the feature until it's finished, and merge it back into the next release branch. The difference is that citizens think it will accelerate deployment, when the roadblock is QA.

The reason QA is the roadblock is because CIG development can be summed up as

"We've changed some poo poo, poo poo be happenin, we have no clue why, so we'll change some other poo poo and see what poo poo happens next."

The difference is that citizens think it will accelerate deployment, when the roadblock is QA. CIG doesn't have a large enough QA team to test two builds at once. So even if 3.0 is pretty much done, they still need to push 2.6 to live before even starting to test 3.0.

Given the number of major features being touted for 3.0, it will not be shocking if a number of them are behind. If 2.6 was hyped up as being weeks, not months away, and there are still major technical issues holding it up, 3.0 is probably in a sad state.
My knowledge of computers is pretty much "If it stops working, reboot it. If still not working, google the problem on another machine," so please correct me if I'm stupidly wrong here, but I'm assuming this approach is normally used with code that basically works? I can see how it would be possible to work on two updates at once if the two things won't affect each other, but the issue CIG seems to have is that their code is so hosed up that no one really knows why or how different parts are connected. So someone fixes a door somewhere, and suddenly all Mustangs explode if you try to bank right, or getting out of the pilot seat turns your character into a Lovecraftian nightmare.

In a sane environment you wouldn't bother branching because it was clearly not worth the time. Any time you add new code, you will end up having to test it - if your team doesn't do it, your customers end up doing it instead - and proper testing usually takes at least as long as development. So you create these two separate branches that will either...
  • add redundant test time plus the extra testing for when they finally get merged, or
  • slopped out to the public with no real testing, then do an untested merge that is also slopped out to the public

A normal team would then ask "what do we gain by doing this", then not do it because the answer is nothing in the best case and a PR disaster in the worst, but a normal team doesn't get a whole subforum dedicated to their antics.

I feel like everybody loves to get into Internet fights because they all think they are the smartest person on the planet.

They usually don't even have Smart in their name, so they're already losing.

But really, if people could just say "I'm sorry, you're right" or even "no, turns out I was wrong about that" I feel like Internet life would be so much easier.

I never really had this motivation to prove how right I was about anything. If people listened or didn't it's ok.

Pro tip: you can buy cans of minced garlic in the produce section of your grocery store and never have to worry about cloves again!

So many happy, smiling faces, and... is that Derek Smart in whiteface in the middle of the bottom row?


I believe this is Chris Roberts real office.

The keyboard is at a completely unusable angle.

The keyboard keys don't look at all used.

The wrist rest of the keyboard looks like it's never been touched by a wrist or body part ever.

The desk is unusable for any amount of time.

The polished steel/aluminum looks as though body parts have never touched its gleaming and unmarred surface before.

There is no blood around the exposed Phillips head screws poking out at hideous angles for a "work desk".

All in all, looks exactly like I'd expect the desk of somebody who doesn't do any real work on a computer or office to look like.

Also, it's a Razer keyboard.
Real people don't use Razer keyboards.
I therefore conclude Chris either isn't real, or he's not using the keyboard.

Because Robert Space is an expert in creating a work environment where people are either-

a) Too scared to voice dissent or offer advice.

b) Have given up and no further fucks are given

c) Are hanging around to watch it burn, and perhaps add combustible material periodically.
