  • the term normally refers to a developer that can be productive in every layer required for a typical application to work.

    They can do the front end design/styling/implementation and are familiar with front end languages and frameworks

    They can do the backend API design and are familiar with the typical backend languages and patterns.

    They can do the database table design, write and optimize queries.

    They can handle the ci/cd scripting that handles building and deploying the application

    They can design and write the automation tests and are familiar with the libraries used for that.

    And a bunch of other crap like load testing or familiarity with cloud services.

    The latest thing added to the list is AI model creation which is a nightmare… but, I can’t say no 🤷‍♂️









  • Goldeneye and its spiritual sequel Perfect Dark (my favorite game of all time) do this varying AI skill thing along with the mission objectives expanding across difficulties. An argument can be made against it because someone playing on “easy” doesn’t really experience the whole game but it’s also cool to replay levels on a higher difficulty where the map is larger or you’re interacting with more things or you’re starting in a different location.








  • it’s a really long article that goes into depth on the issue with a lot of anecdotes and research. The gist of it is though that while these people have committed negligence, it happens to people who are otherwise not negligent. It can really happen to anyone, all it takes is some stress or unexpected plans changing.

    People should be aware of how easy it can happen to anyone and not pass it off as just bad parents getting what they deserve.
