I'm not sure how much is outsmarting, as much as it is that the Trump administration is happy to make a big show and then sell out the US as long as he and his cronies get their cut.
I recall a story about how clothes laundry machines were introduced and while it made people "more productive" ... many people just did laundry more often, cleaned other things more often, and thus it didn't reduce the workload.
That's been the case with hardware at several companies I was at.
I was convinced that the process was encouraged by folks who used it as a sort of weird gatekeeping by folks who only used the magic code names.
Even better I worked at a place where they swapped code names between two products at one time... it wasn't without any reason, but it mean that a lot of product documentation suddenly conflicted.
I eventually only refereed to exact part numbers and model numbers and refused to play the code name game. This turned into an amusing situation where some managers who only used code names were suddenly silent as they clearly didn't know the product / part to code name convention.
>So Trump says that he’ll replace the current system, in which people buy their own health insurance with the aid of government subsidies, with a system in which the government gives people money they can use to buy their own health insurance. How is that different?
That's kinda the history of modern efforts to rework the health system in the US. No fundamental change, just subsidies, subsidies moved around (often with an apparent misunderstanding of how things "work") or not.
The old joke from the first Trump term when congress actually seemed capable of trying to do some things on their own was that the GOP was going to replace Obama Care with the Affordable Care act ;). And as if to demonstrate how absurd that whole effort was, Trump himself would one day voice support for congressional efforts, and the next rant about it ... GOP congress people openly voiced "we don't know what he wants an he won't tell us".
Congress ultimately chose to do pretty much nothing that round.
The video game industry just seems terrible and not worth working in if you're working for a studio tied to a big publisher, and maybe not even outside that.
It’s always the developers who can break / bypass the rules who are the most dangerous.
I always think of the "superstars" or "10x" devs I have met at companies. Yeah I could put out a lot of features too if I could bypass all the rules and just puke out code / greenfield code that accounts for the initial one use case ... (and sometimes even leave the rest to other folks to clean up).
