When you wake up and take care of the kids so that your wife can sleep in because she doesn't feel good... and then miss your autograph appointment with HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN at Phoenix Fan Fusion

I swear that every time I think I have an answer to this question, something happens in my career that makes me feel incompetent and makes me never want to code again.

Picked up my kids from the court today and he goes "I was practicing my @TJMcConnell jumpshot!" And I was like thats so awesome dude. And it is. But then he followed up with, "and I scored 20 using the SGA pushoff to make space" ..... the NBA is ruining basketball for our youth.

Spent a non-trivial amount of money on art for one of my games, just to have the "artist" give me AI slop and ask me for a tip.

I told my 13 year old that I would take any point gaurd in the NBA over Devin Booker at point because I don't want to watch Booker score 60 points a game with a 30% 3PP and the Suns lose every game. He's losing it and his brain is exploding.

No one warned me that releasing a game would cause a flood of emails of people requesting free keys. That and emails from streamers who want to play it on Twitch but havent actually streamed in 8 years.

One of the largest weaknesses that I have as a game dev might be that I dont play games anymore. Sure I play some games, but I don't play enough to have an understanding of whats happening in the industry at the moment or whats popular in a genre currently.

Either this AI bubble is going to burst or I'm going to get out of software development altogether. This garbage is exhausting.
