Have reviewed 16 year old code for a very well known company in the last week with this exact comment peppered throughout, alongside delightfully helpful comments like:

// do not delete or change this it just works

// TODO temporary fix added 12/09/11 to fix incident must be removed ASAP

// CAUTION this returns false here instead of true like it normally does, not sure why

// if true then matched to valid account not is true

Interesting! The university I attended had a similar room using projectors, but it was never as impressive as this. They did have it rigged to play Doom, though!

Ahh amazing, thank you! I went searching for other videos but couldn’t find any. Somehow didn’t occur to me that the objects on the ceiling in OP’s video, with the exception of the speakers, were images on a video wall too :). Explains the weird way it looks!

May be stating the obvious or missing the point, but this is just a 3d render, right? Nothing about this looks like it exists in the real world.

It was fun to discover that contact lenses are like a superpower when it comes to cutting onions. Finally, a benefit to being utterly blind!

Currently working on a programme of work for a huge client whose core system is still running the same COBOL spaghetti that was written in the 80s. The demand for COBOL developers to support or update these systems, and the compensation they get, is wild.

UX / UI work lends itself to designers with IT skills in a similar way. I ended up falling into Business Analysis ultimately, but graphic design experience mixed with IT skills have helped immeasurably throughout the twisting path my career took.

A friend of mine moved to Japan about 10 years ago and has spent a lot of time solo developing his site, Kanpeki Study, for efficiently learning Japanese kanji and vocabulary in bitesize, daily chunks. I’d be doing all his effort a massive disservice if I didn’t mention it - hopefully turns out to be a good fit for you 😄.

Absolutely the same experience as you. I’d spend weeks (or months, in the case of my final dissertation) mulling things over without being able to write anything, then the night before it’d just click into place and I’d write it all out. I’d end up with good grades as well, but the stress at the time from my frustration at not being able to just “get things done sooner” wasn’t fun!
