I forget. Were MMO launches no longer guaranteed disasters by that point?
That was after WoW's launch, so I'm pretty sure disaster was assumed by the genre-savvy. It's the earliest case I can think of off the top of my head.

JS in particular has so many stupid "gotchas!" that you almost need to unless you're doing it all day every day.
SWTOR at least had several beta weekends in the run up to launch, which was enough to get to level 20 or so and see if it was going to click for you. Admittedly one of the most story-interactive dungeon in the base game was coincidentally the very first, so it was definitely weighted to make a good impression, much like The Deadmines stuck in the memory of many a lapsed WoW subscriber.
Next up: Fallout 76.
I paid, I think, five dollars for Minecraft
It was a thing where you could remove and place textures blocks in this little limited map
Man was it ever fun to be along for the ride and see it grow
We audited the licenses of every single third-party package we use in stuff when we did an investment round.
At the very least, some basic soft skills transfer over from sysadminning
Like checking your software licenses before using in production
Doubly so if it's public-facing. You can get away with running a non-commercial license on an internal server that nobody sees except employees, even though you really aren't supposed to. But definitely not on anything accessible to the public
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Needless to say the social media comments on it are obsessed with whether or not she fucks the bear and how gross that is and can you believe that this book is advocating bestiality bears cannot consent
This is a really good way of putting it.
But the opposite would be "I bounced on the thing" which sounds... well... :winky:
That bear is clearly sentient.
Well depends on what you mean by MMO. Like the Division had a stable launch, it wasn't a traditional MMO, more like a destiny, both destiny 1 and 2 had stable launches.

Of course not, the bear is obviously gay
I've done JS before and got well used to it's weirdness. And ECMA 6 and Typescript and Lint has made it much less crude. But still it's pretty frustrating at times.
Honestly the thing that has been bothering me the most has been having only one kind of Number (which is a 64 bit "double" floating point under the hood). I want my uint32_t and uint64_t damnit!
I vaguely recalled SWTOR having a pretty stable launch. Or at least my server.

Probably. I got screwed by gamestop on early release. Like I preordered well in advance but never got my early access. I think that was the last PC game I ever preordered from game stop.

It was a phone interview for a data science job and the guy was asking me questions like "What are the four principles of Object Oriented Programming" and some really detailed questions about statistics formulas that I knew when I was in school but would need to look over my notes to remember now. At some point I was taking some time to think about something and he went "I hope you're not Googling any of this" which really set me off (not literally, I was very polite). First of all, fucking rude. Second of all, if your questions can all be easily answered with a quick Google, they're probably not great interview questions! I'm going to have Google at my job! Ask me questions that make me demonstrate understanding of concepts, not stuff you memorize by rote.
Dude was a statistics PhD so he really cared about the theoretical math behind things, and like....that's not really my job as a data scientist? And if I need them, again, I can just look them up!
I was really excited about that job too, fucking annoying.
still works
