do you think shifting careers is gonna make us to avoid AIshitfication? I thought that was spreading on all areas.

not yet, I'm just starting. In the past (like 3 years ago) I've sent a couple of CVs around for specifics companies. Mostly the ones I was playng a game (like Rare for Sea of Thieves).

Looking for any kind of advice (links to good job boards, company names, people to contact, blogs to read, general tips) about migrating to the games industry.

I'm a senior software engineer, working on random web stuff forever, and I want to work in the games industry. I'm not in a rush, so anything I can do between now and the next two years I'll consider. I have some constraints though: I would like to stay remote, and have a "safe" job (I say that because I've heard many stories where people are hired to make a single game and are fired right after launch, which would be too risky for me).

Gaming has been my passion forever, and I even make some minigames in my free time. Right now I'm just trying to mix things up, to put my engineering skills into something I might like more. I understand that's a bit naive, but I have no reason not to try.

Yah, making it clear, I def get more than a couple of bugs yearly hehe. You sound right for me, and I heard stuff like that from companies here and there. Stuff like "delivery it first, make it better later", like focusing on putting it together on front of our users besides of over engineering the right thing. This is cool, till dozens of bugs appears

Good advice, really. love it. Maybe I can try harder to control these issues. One challenge with this is finding a way to talk about it without it sounding like I'm just complaining all the time

Interesting point, but unfortunately not possible in all code bases. You know the drill, old code base, tight deadlines. But I can see the point, and I'll advocate to that for sure!

This makes sense. It's just like, sometimes is really hard to see how to keep improving on the quality besides failing and learning with it.

About asking feedback, what would be good points to ask exactly? I didnt have good experiences with feedbacks in my career, usually they were too vague.

I've been working with js stuff so compiling is not a big deal, sometimes on the frontend there are a lot of steps to test something, though, I def feel the procrastinate call

Interesting idea of keeping the daily log. I thought about but feels like a lot of work. Today I keep a "gotchas" list with some of these stuff, which is someway similar

Yes, interestingly enough, these bad times usually come along with tight deadlines.

haha, yeah perhaps I removed some examples from my counting. I see your point, we dont know what we dont know

oh, that's a good pov! thanks. it makes sense to consider making mistakes the rule and work from there

TL;DR: What are your checklists, tips, and tricks to ensure you're delivering a high-quality piece of work (whether it's a Pull Request or something equivalent in your field)?

As a full-stack developer, I've often found myself in situations where a sprint goes wrong, and a lot of bugs are flagged by QA. It's a tough spot to be in because I genuinely put in my best effort when coding, but sometimes things just don't go as planned. It could be due to a new feature, an old legacy system, or simply a rough week—it happens from time to time (not so often, I remember like 4 moments in my 5 years of experience). What advice do you have for maintaining consistent deliveries with minimal bugs (or equivalent failures in your area)?
