they should make games that are more fun than programming
[note: this is not a glowing recommendation of programming]

i'm looking at my steam library and my thoughts are "i'd rather write a webdav server"

do you understand
(please recommend me multiplayer coop games that are actually fun. team pvp is fine too if i can make a team with like 2 people total and have it work)

have you _seen_ webdav xml. it's almost as bad as soap. and i hated soap

@whitequark SOAP itself was... OK, I guess? for a rehash of all the previous attempts at RPC protocols.

The thing that got me was all the "extensibility" stuff it: the security layers that couldn't work (because XML), the attempts at registries, the belief that you only needed the WSDL to access an arbitrary service...

(I did once write a vnc-over-soap service. It was slooooow.)
