Robin WardThis redditor just showed off their game which is just one main.cpp file and is over 600k lines long.
Now, I’m not saying this is a good pattern to follow, but it worked for him, his game got finished and he’s sold 30k copies on steam. I think he should be proud.
Too many people obsess over implantation details and never ship anything. This is good software!
I hear you guys like large files... I raise 623,000 lines of code. My first ever game project, I was meant to carry on learning how to code properly but I have pretty bad ADHD so I just kept adding features and 8 years later here we are... It's sold over 30k copies on steam though lol

Maybe @dgentry knows 🙏
Every year during power outage season in the Seattle area, I think that this might be the year to invest in home-energy storage + solar. It really does look like Tesla's Powerwall is probably the best energy storage option for me but yikes. Anyone have experience with alternatives?
However for those seeking schadenfreude, a more likely outcome is Twitter making some modest change; and Elon heralding the completion of "some codename" project and making a bunch of unverifiable claims.
Saw that Elon and George Hotz were on Twitter Spaces last night discussing how Twitter 2.0 needs a total rewrite and immediately thought of this 22-year-old @spolsky blog: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/
I was not in the "Twitter will immediately fall over because 80% of the engineers are gone" camp; but am definitely in the "Twitter will fall over repeatedly if they try to migrate to a total rewrite" camp.
Grateful for progressive techies bootstrapping the community here; but I'm also excited to see a little more diverse content coming in during the latest exodus.
Great comeback 3-2 win!
2-1 Winnipeg now. PK not looking great tonight.
@Alisonl 1-1 .. tremendous goal by Eberle. Also I hear we were on TV!
