  • You could most likely find some damn spicy contracts. The real question is, is it worth it?

    You’re going to retrofit some old code to fix an upcoming date bug, or try to make some changes wrapped around security vulnerabilities. But these systems we’re relying on, they’re in banks, air traffic control, and in hospitals, we’re not just depending on these boxes but critically depending on these boxes. There’s almost nobody sitting around to give you a second set of eyes on the code, probably almost nobody capable of doing proper QA on the systems you’re working on.

    With the exception of Girl Scout cookies, I don’t buy anything from anyone that shows up unannounced.

    If I didn’t know I needed it until now, I need to do research before I buy into it.

    If I did know I needed it and you showed up randomly, I have no reason to expect that you provide any reasonable value with your services.

    Door to door sales are as dead as cold calls and email.







  • requires less development time

    Here, step into this 200GB repo with about 50 third party plugins and someone else’s game engine and find all the states that aren’t exactly like they are on the design docs, and do it at scale, across a cluster of servers that all have to interact.

    20 years ago, i’d be right there with you.

    It’s actually hard for a big game to do those things. The people making the cheats are as good as the developers and only need to find one nick it the armor every time.

    FWIW, I’m against kernel-level anticheat, and I didn’t downvote you :)
