What is going on with big tech lately. It seems that big tech is trying to find every cost saving measure and take a play out of Carvana's playbook. Every company within FAANG has been letting people go in the tens of thousands. Lately it seems like big tech is not as much as a secure job as it once was. I believe more layoffs are coming. Especially after big companies like Microsoft and Google are investing more into a AI platforms. This way they can secure more funding for these projects. Anyone that has been affected by these mass tech layoffs need to keep their resumes handy, as well as investing them selves through portfolio work. I'm 100% sure that even smaller tech companies will start laying people off. So everyone out there make sure that you are ready. ┈ Who is GhostszMusic INC? ┈ GhostszMusic INC is an Indie Game Studio, where we design and develop games that spark imagination and wonder.

Mark Zuckerberg is starting to follow the footsteps of Elon musk when firing staff members. He is currently making sure that employees want to step down from the positions in order to fight the belief that a recession is near. However in this mentality he is finally showing how old employers view software engineers. Mark Zuckerberg has also stated that many of the employees that he has shouldn't be working at metal formally known as Facebook. Which is not going to bold well when thinking of all the other companies that he controls. Unfortunately the Elon musk mentality it's probably here to stay. ┈  Who is GhostszMusic INC? ┈ GhostszMusic INC is an Indie Game Studio, where we design and develop games that spark imagination and wonder.

Time for another Elon Musk episode of the dev room podcast. Today it's all about Elon Musk and how he was prepared to fire numerous employees from Tesla, spaceX, the boring company and his future company Twitter. As he's preparing to make sure that his wealth does not decrease any further. At this point he sees all of his employees as expendable as long as they show themselves to be extraordinary employees.   In all honesty Elon musk is an egomaniacal villain who only cares about profits. At the expense of his employees which contribute majority of his vast wealth. Instead of letting everyone go he should be trying to invest in the people however with Elon the only thing that he cares about is his net worth.   ┈  Sources ┈  https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/tesla-employees-take-to-linkedin-after-being-laid-off/ https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6941354442382270464/  https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/16/23171166/elon-musk-twitter-layoffs-revenue  ┈  Who is GhostszMusic INC? ┈  GhostszMusic INC is an Indie Game Studio, where we design and develop games that spark imagination and wonder.

He is currently stopping Work from Home and taking sure that all his employees are now back at work. All in the guise of firing 10% of his staff.

As game developers, we often overlook the needed abilities and skills to succeed. Throughout my experiences, I have found need skills to help me become a better developer. Be it through learning Rest APIs, code optimization, or building a cloud storage system for saving files. Hopefully, this will become useful information for you to be able to grow.   ┈  Who is GhostszMusic INC? ┈  GhostszMusic INC is an Indie Game Studio, where we design and develop games that spark imagination and wonder.

As game developers wanted to create games for iPhone you need to get a  mac! However, generally, the choices are with the latest Intel I series but Apple designs and developed their chip called M1. This chip was designed to utilize Apple's hardware and software.   In the past, I owned a Macbook pro with an Intel I7 and it was a pretty powerful system. However, due to a design fault, I started getting ready to retire my poor like Macbook pro. After this sad fact, I was thinking about getting a new Mac mini because of budgeting reasons. I was considering going with the Intel I7 again but of the luck that I have had with them. However, after watching the new M1 chip reviews, I saw that everyone was getting amazing performance from the chip. So I went out and pick myself up a Mac mini with the M1 chip.   The bad about the M1 chip Now that it has been over a month with my workflow. I have quite a bit to say about it as a game developer. Let's first start with the bad stuff. Before the big updates, I was having problems with using Unity, Jetbrains Ryder syncing files amongst themselves. The issue was triggered if I ran to Unity before Ryder finished updating. This problem made me lose some progress because Ryder needs to finish this sync before you can save. The next issue I had was that any piece of software that was not optimized for the M1 chip was trash! Every single program that I ran from Jetbrain that wasn't optimized stuttered and even froze before these updates.  The only ones that didn't were media creation software.  The good about the M1 chip After the macOS Big Surr update, this Mac mini is a freaking champ. Most of the problems that I was happening have gone away. Once in a while, I will get occasional stutter but nothing as bad as before. Especially one working with Unity and Ryder. I have been able to test the rest API functionality using Local by Flywheel while Unity and Ryder are all running. Which is very impressive! On top of that my video editing process has been top-notched and I can say the same for photo editing using Photoshop. The same thing can be said about using Lightroom for touching up and color-correcting images.   Lastly, the biggest improvement that I have seen is in 3d modeling in blender 3D. Before the update blender was okay and would become very laggy when UV texturing a model. It would stutter and even freeze to the point of force-quitting out of blender 3D in some cases. Which you could imagine is highly annoying. Especially after working on a model for a couple of hours and lose some progress because of the computer.   ┈  Who is GhostszMusic INC? ┈  GhostszMusic INC is an Indie Game Studio, where we design and develop games that spark imagination and wonder.
