  • I never said story games are shallow. But if the games you like are ones where you can feel like you’ve experienced all the game and the story has to offer in a single playthrough then they are, by definition, shallow. Even a great movie is worth watching multiple times of its story has any appreciable depth. Video games, even more so since there should be more to the story to experience.







  • Which one is important is going to depend on the context for sure.

    If it’s an open source library, they probably won’t care about 1.

    If you’re working on internal software used by other developers within the company, management probably really does care about 1 because it’s going to impact their timelines.

    If you’re working on a proprietary user-facing API, then even if it doesn’t cost your company anything management might still care because it could piss off valuable customers.

    I think that, for what ever decision OP is trying to make, looking at that context is more important than quibbling over what exactly constitutes a “breaking change.”




  • We’re getting off on a little bit of a tangent about proper memo reading but usually the point of supporting information is that you don’t know if the reader is going to need it. You don’t have a full picture of what the president knows already and you have no way of knowing how the president’s thought process is going to go. They might need more information about something that happened or a decision being made to help inform their decisions or they might not, because it’s not really relevant to the direction they want to go. Sure, 50% of it might go unread but you never know what info will fall into that 50%, exclude it and the document is incomplete.

    Ultimately, though, the point remains that the memo sizes haven’t really been a problem for others. Typically you don’t make it that high up without being an extremely effective reader. It’s just that this time we wound up with someone unfit and in way over his head.
