>a “good” workday, engineers spent 18 percent of their time “coding” (not including bug fixing, testing, etc.) that's such a weird metric, why exclude bug fixing and testing? depending on the …

It's just a lot of work. You need to build the engine/tech, need to support various platforms including building a rendering pipeline (so Vulkan, DirectX and Metal). You need to support anim…

I don't think you really know what you're talking about and I'm struggling to answer to your dumb "joke". I was sharing a rough anecdote as an example of how technology fails …

I think people are misunderstanding. This is a car for Mexico, nothing to do with the US. On the website it says it's a car "designed in Mexico for Mexico" https://www.olinia…

potentially, you're right, anecdotally many artists I've known and worked with have always liked and sought those notebooks

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding this. This is not some random tie-in to the LOTR franchise. Moleskine used to be one of the main notebooks for artists for a long time, and as the article …
