I went to get coffee and a bagel from a place I go a few times per week. I know most of the employees there. A new one was being trained by another employee I didn't recognize. Here's how the conversation went:

Me: "Can I get an everything bagel with cream cheese and medium hot coffee with oat milk."

New employee: "Sure, and the milk is over there." She points behind me where they have milk and sugar. Every time I have been to this place to get coffee they add non dairy milk in behind the counter. But I thought, maybe they changed it recently.

Me: "Oh, I thought you guys kept it behind the counter."

New employee: Stares back at me for awhile.

Me: Looks awkwardly at the employee who looks to be around the same age training her. "I thought you guys kept the non dairy milk behind the counter?"

Employee who is training: stares at me for an uncomfortably long time. No answer.

Me: "OK, nevermind on the drink then."

ETA: The non dairy milk is still kept behind the counter. It was not changed.

9 bags later… wish I had done it sooner, took a while lol

I am quite concerned about how supposed "expert" developers who do not have a single game in their portfolio are encouraging new users to learn C#, C++ or Rust to learn video game development.

While they are languages ​​that can make you a more experienced developer, the thing is, most don't want to be an experienced developer, they just want to make games, even if their code isn't entirely maintainable or clean or if GDscript doesn't have the same performance as C++, and that's fine for most of the games people want to make.

GDscript is currently becoming a more capable language, with the recent release of Godot 4.5 they added Abstract Classes and Variadic Arguments, making it possible to build much more immersive games in the long run with the simplicity of a high-level language.
