"If Tetris has taught me anything, it's that errors pile up and accomplishments disappear."

@fribbledom Oh well, that's true.

I've seen a similar, but more positive phrase once:

> Tetris teaches you that when you try to fit in, you'll disappear.

@fribbledom

Tech debt is like tetris. You can't win, you can only delay when you lose. And you'd better to constantly work on it.

@gram @muesli one can actually win Tetris 😅 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=6j26zKNek4k

(Yes, I'm fun at parties, too)

"The Video Game History Foundation says that about 87% of all commercial games written prior to 2010 are now unavailable. This is a failure of our field. We're in a moment in time when people spend their adult life making one game, and 5 years later it is unplayable because of DRMs, system complexity."

@fribbledom when we obsess about the mountains ahead of us, we forget the mountains behind us.
@fribbledom Stop it, I am trying to stay positive here and all you do is being RELATEABLE 😤
@fribbledom The difference being that in real life, you can change your positions and when yo get your shit together, problems will disappear.
@fribbledom and loosing is unavoidable, because things get faster and faster until you fail.
@fribbledom @lisamelton I initially misread this as “Tesla” and it didn’t even seem that wrong.
@fribbledom The only winning move is not to play.
