I'm setting up a linux Jenkins server. This is the state of modern Unity: * Official Installation instructions for unity hub were wrong. * Unity hub won't run headless because it still needs a virtualized display. It just segfaults. Had to install xvfb and route all commands through that.

Man, C is so much simpler and more fun to program in than C++.

friends, full disclosure: i have ZERO recollection of what we talked about when we recorded this. But I was hanging with Alan and Syrenne so I'm sure I had a good time. Go listen and be entertained? Educated? Who's to say, I guess. Go listen.

"Don't repeat yourself" (aka "DRY") is the foremost pitfall of our generation of software engineers. It's followed so myopically and dogmatically that people perform heroic code structure contortions just to enable re-use of a 10 line method they could have copy/pasted.
