More nuanced reply: I do tend to complain

• less about certain bugs and limitations, where I can understand that the problem is harder than it seems
• and more about others, where I have to imagine a poor intern dragged around by bad advice for several sprints, finally marking the task done (forehead sweating and all), even though they did not really know what they were doing even for a minute.

Understanding how software is made, and what are best software engineering practices to make stable software only makes hate AAA studios that release overpriced crashy messes even more.

As someone who had a career as a web developer and had to build sites that worked pixel perfect on multiple devices and clients I think game developers are jokers

Knowing how to code and interacting with stuff like the nintendo e shop scrollimg performance being super shit makes me think I would absolutely be fired if I deployed shit like that in prod for millions of users.

learn to code and you'll forever more be going "i could probably fix this if i could be fucked to get familiar with the codebase"

At minimum I think it would stop people from calling devs lazy. I don’t code, but even I know for how boring Ubisoft games are, none of them were “lazy” outputs.

Instead they'll become curiosities leading down rabbit holes to understand why and how they happened.

Lies

Just know a human developer and remember they're all humans

Nah I just changed from "these game devs" to "these game studios"

Give a man a fish, and he'll be fed for a day
Teach a man to fish, and he'll be training orcas to attack shipping vessels

Learn to code and you’ll be too busy complaining about your own bugs everyday.

I only chose this career path because I heard there were a lot of hugs. 🥲

Become an entomologist and never complain about them ever.

Looks at Undertail and Balatro just being a collection of IF statements…

Hahahaha
