Lets hit on an interesting point about the "demystification" of expertise. The trues is that, a lot of people who are good at something are reluctant to share their knowledge, especially if it means making their skills seem less special. The Paradox of Expertise: Reluctance to Share: It's a common phenomenon. People who've spent years honing their skills might feel threatened by the idea of making those skills accessible to others. It's like giving away a secret weapon. The Illusion of Complexity: Sometimes, the "magic" of a skill is in the perception of its complexity. When you break it down,…

My Animation state machine became cleaner than yesterday, because I used Animation Blend Space for animation between running<->walking<->limping right/left. It takes 2 params, SpeedPercent between 0 and 1, where: 0: standing still 1: running at full speed It also takes LegInjury between -1 and 1, where: -1: left leg fully injured 0: no leg injuries 1: right leg fully injured A problem I can see right now is that when falling down players capsule is still standing still. Don't know how to make it fall with a skeleton, yet. Source link lol

In my view, most of the hype around microservices got the concept totally wrong. The point of microservices is that we want to organise code in such a way that we have small independent systems that each do well-defined job. The original microservices post said that microservices were "organised around business capabilities", which is a term of art from service oriented architecture, where we look for the things that a business does. You can identify business capabilities by building a flow chart showing how your organisation generates value, and the key activities that happen at each step. You draw circles…
