Summarizing and finding codeblocks. Fucking A+.
So much so, that it's pretty much 100% necessary in software engineering now. And I hate it that I'm forced to use something that I know is so detrimental in other aspects.
I’ve been a software developer for over 15 years, I’ve never used one. It’s not necessary at all.
And your 15 years are superior to mine because?....
I used it to make a dialog system in a video game. It made it, but it was needlessly complex and ten times as long as the code needed to be. No thanks, i don't need a buggy mess that's unmaintainable.
Note: I didn't say - use it to code.
But real question for you. Is the alternative you wouldn't have done that at all?
Yes, I've made a dialog system before. The context I found myself in was a game jam with a short amount of time using an engine I hadn't used in years.
Thought it would help instead of following a tutorial. But honestly, by the end of the jam, I really didn't feel like rewriting the dialog system bcz it was so messy.
