And are they on the hook for fixes and follow-ups from the postmortem?
It doesn't matter how the code was written, you can't just ship things and forget about them.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
I...don't hate it? The concept, at least. The execution might be bad, I guess I'll find out if and when I see one of these things in real life.
I truly wonder how many errors (implementation or architectural) are silently getting merged into prod with every passing day, given how many people out there are totally convinced that they're zooming along at 10x velocity now.

Unemployment has skyrocketed in Finland, aided by massive and badly timed (procyclical) cuts that demolished domestic consumption, and is now the highest of all OECD countries.

The player actor class in the code for this game was named CBruce, which makes sense.
It gets a little weirder when you learn that they kept that name in the codebase for the follow-up game...

Yeah, this is similar to why I think people who expect AI to replace creative industries are fundamentally wrong. The novelty of something new, never before seen, is what sustains these art forms, and it's fundamentally at odds with the technical foundations of current AI technologies.

BART's newly released concepts for what they'll do if Connect Bay Area transit funding measure fails are terrifying.
Phase 1: 63% train hours cut & 10 station closures
Phase 2: Cumulative 70% train hours cut, 15 station closures
Phase 3 (if required): END BART SERVICE
We must pass the measure!

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...
"queueing up in their millions"? what does that even mean?

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."
