I'm trying to comment on this without being hyperbolic.

As a manager, insisting on deadlines that you and your ICs straight up don't believe are possible almost GUARANTEES that a) their work will be thrown out or completely redone and b) you will put them in danger of burning out.

Iโ€™m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly itโ€™s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

Two new Cooker command line flags I found useful were -HiddenDependenciesDebug and -OnlyEditorOnlyDebug - your mileage may vary, of course!

It may be worth cooking your project to see if that spits out any new warnings or errors - theyโ€™ve added some new checks.

We ran into cooking bugs related to async loading when moving to 5.5, which I mitigated by back-porting some fixes slated for 5.6. Epic seems to be โ€œasyncโ€-ifying more parts of asset loading and so weโ€™re hitting bugs related to loading dependent assets.

I love making chili because I can constantly eat spoonfuls all day under the guise of โ€œmaking sure the flavours are blending okโ€

โ€œAt this point fixing this problem might be really hard because it's a social problem more than a technical oneโ€

Thatโ€™s such a key issue that comes up again and again and again in so many circumstances. And engineers looove to reach for technical solutions to social problems!
