If you do a lot of coding in popular software languages like Java and Python, eventually you will run into open source projects whose comments and documentation and issues are all in Mandarin. There are also Chinese versions of Stack Overflow, where I have to use Google Translate to read the discussion threads.

It will always be more difficult to understand a language which is not your first, but if there's a language on this planet that would be useful to learn aside from English, it's Mandarin.

I am personally not familiar with any differences in major frameworks between Chinese software ecosystems and American/European ones. But that is surely just my ignorance as a foreigner. Please let us know what you find.

As a software developer who loves lovable games, I am an enormous admirer of Mr. Barone and wish him the best of continued fortune.

I also wish that it was easier for independent developers to have time to build their artistic vision like this.

Does all the best art require suffering, though? Idk. I feel like that is maybe a myth invented by the exploiters.

Lib Media: Okay Biden's in office now! Stop showing the kids in cages.

The Queen always insisted the Irish were closet Hitlers. I guess Hitlerism is when people reject colonialism, I mean, civilized coexisting by force.

The Southern capitalists have understood this dynamic since back in the day when enslaved women were used for breeding and abortion was destruction of property.
