It was always a “best effort”, but also very rewarding if you got a specific fight “somewhat” close how it was on the official servers.

Previously I was (and still am in the team) a full stack developer with strengths on the technical side as well as very good problem understanding and solving skills.

After the previous months I more and More understood that in my role I have to manage a team, talk more with stakeholders and getting more involved into “politics”, which is not something I’ve did previously very much.

I know that I have to improve my communication skills, getting better in understanding how I can protect my team and how to lead my team to get out of disruptions or things that are impacting our team, but sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed. It is definitely a challenge, but one that I want to grow on.

Thereby I am asking: Has someone of you being in a similar position and what helped you to become the team lead that you wanted to have? Were there useful resources, books, programs that taught you valuable skills for this kind of role?

Thank you :)

I’ve tried multiple different tools, but none really felt right - probably because I was using i3 on my desktop. And then I found aerospace, which is inspired by i3 and uses a lot of clever tricks to achieve this

But one thing: If you record demos please try to setup your mic correctly. In the demo you've shared the audio is pretty often clipping (which does not really sound great/ sounds unprofessional)

Otherwise: Good luck on your journey!

If you have such a Switch you can use a tool that overwrites/unions the content of the game cartridge with content of a folder on your SD card. That means you could add some files (e.G. maps) into the game.

From the top of my head you can definitely mod the Skyrim Switch version as well as the Star Wars Jedi Knight Games (at least these were the two games which I've played around it). But I am pretty sure that there are Mods for the mario games.

From my point of view it was really a game changer. The first time debugging and understanding web-applications became accessible. Probably all browser dev tools were inspired by this tool

Yeah, you are right, it is lesser used than e.g JavaScript, but tbh it also has a different target audience. You probably can build UI by using wasm. But why don't use JavaScript, which is way more comfortable and has a bigger community around it? (Unless you have some specific needs) As a web developer you don't need wasm right now. If you are doing some lower level work (like trying to run AI models/training) and you really need the performance, then wasm gets pretty interesting.

Most of the cool wasm projects I've seen in the past few months/ years were open source ports of games or emulators compiled to wasm (like Doom 3 ), which really ran very great. And my guess is that the broader development community is currently doing exactly this: they are playing around with wasm to learn for what use cases wasm could be a great fit.

(more known Wasm users are for example Figma or Google Earth. Iirc I've read that BBC is currently exploring if they can use wasm for their media players)

It is a kinda short (~5-6h) feel good game in which you more or less just have to explore a holiday island and meet different other Animals

The developer held a talk on the GDC how he made the game: https://youtu.be/ZW8gWgpptI8

Today more and more people without a background in IT which got in the "Web3"/Crypto ecosystem get in touch with public key authentication mostly used with wallets like Metamask. It get's understandable and usable for the average user.

If you are a solo Dev and really want/ need data streams than you can only chose between Kafka and Redis Streams at the moment. While there are a lot of client libraries for Kafka for nearly every programming language, you really don't wanna manage your own Kafka instance and, to be fair, it really feels like overkill.

So RabbitMQ seems to fit into the same spot as the Redis Streams do: Easy manageable and usable streams, even for smaller projects. Really hope that this will be usable in many different client libraries soon.

I stumbled upon the channel one or two years ago, very interesting stuff if you are into math and computer graphics

Now one of my mates switched from LoL to CS:GO and plays on a semi-professional level (national league). We try to watch every game via Twitch.tv together while talking via Teamspeak. We are not playing that much anymore, but because we grew up with these games and still know the rules watching E-Sports feels natural and we are more connected to it than to regular sport.

Another cool fact is that we all know the game and sometimes come together to play one or two rounds of League of Legends together. It is the game everyone at my age played.

Currently we are storing our yml-API definition inside of an git repository. Any build which depends on these definitions (e.g. webapp and server) will download the source and genereates the specific necessary code.

I asked myself if there could be a better way of distributing these definitions using our internal GitLab CI/CD and package repositories, but I am not sure if this idea would be some kind of an antipattern.

My idea is that we could use the GitLab CI/CD to trigger automatic builds/code generations after each change for the different necessary modules. The generated code could be automatically pushed into different package repositories (our internal maven or internal npm package repository). The applications could then just import the generated code by using the pushed modules as dependencies.

For me this approach seems good on paper, but as I said before: I am not sure if this is the best way to deal with OpenAPI generated code. I researched a little bit (google and colleagues), but was not able to find a good answer. Maybe someone here could help me figuring out if this approach is a good way to handle it. Thanks :)
