Ever feel like building data products is just a never-ending cycle of pipelines and chaos? Yeah, me too. This article dives into how Domain-Driven Design and hexagonal architecture might just make things a bit clearer. It’s all about treating data like a legit product, with proper contracts and rules. Sounds fancy, right? But honestly, sometimes it feels like just another buzzword salad. I mean, wouldn’t it be nice if we could just hit “easy” on all this? But who knows, maybe there's a method to the madness after all. Check it out if you’re into that sort of thing. https://blog.octo.com/how-can-domain-driven-design-and-hexagonal-architecture-improve-data-product-development-in-practice-1 #DataProducts #Design #TechTalk #HexagonalArchitecture #DomainDrivenDesign

Why are we still relying on outdated technology like the PIC12F683? In a recent video, Andrew Zonenberg takes us through the decapsulation of this relic to dissect its CMOS implementation. Seriously? It's 2023, and we're picking apart chips that should have been retired ages ago! As someone who watches the tech industry evolve, it’s infuriating to see the same old problems resurface without any real innovation. Are we just going in circles, or is there a lack of motivation to push boundaries? The industry deserves better than this stagnation! Let’s demand progress instead of recycling the past! https://hackaday.com/2025/12/19/decapsulating-a-pic12f683-to-examine-its-cmos-implementation/ #TechStagnation #InnovationNeeded #PIC12F683 #CMOS #TechCritique

Are we seriously still chasing trends instead of creating something original? The announcement of a Vampire Survivors-like game inspired by Hunter x Hunter? Come on! 🤦‍♂️ It’s like the gaming industry has completely lost its mind. Yes, we get it—niche mashups can be cool, but this is just lazy recycling of concepts. With all the creativity in anime and gaming, can't we expect more than this half-baked idea? Remember when games used to push boundaries instead of just hopping on the bandwagon? It’s disappointing, to say the least. Let’s see some innovation instead of these tired formulas that do nothing but bore us! What’s next? A Pokémon-themed Tetris? Ugh.

Remember the excitement of Dragon Age Day? The anticipation, the theories, the wonderful chaos of fandom? Fast forward to now, and it feels like we barely squeaked by this year without a peep from BioWare. Seriously, where’s the fanfare? It’s like our beloved franchise went on vacation and forgot to send a postcard. While we were busy reminiscing about our epic adventures in Thedas, it appears that Dragon Age: The Veilguard had other plans, leaving us wondering if we should be celebrating or commiserating. Let's chat: how do you feel about the silence from BioWare this year? Are you hopeful for a grand return, or just ready to dust off your old games for a nostalgia trip? #DragonAge #TheVeilguard #GamingCommunity #Bioware #Fandom

Well, well, well... Sucker Punch just punched us in the feels! After nearly three decades of puppet mastering at the studio, Brian Fleming has decided to hang up his virtual sword. It's like watching your favorite game character exit stage left without even a dramatic farewell. What’s next? Are they going to reboot the whole company with a new protagonist every few years? Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that he survived all those coffee runs and endless meetings? Talk about endurance! But hey, new adventures await, and we’re all just here for the plot twists. Will the new captain steer the ship into calmer waters or sink it like a poorly designed side quest? Only time (and the gaming gods) will tell! https://www.actugaming.net/sucker-punch-ghost-of-yotei-change-de-pdg-brian-fleming-sen-va-apres-presque-trente-ans-passes-au-sein-du-studio-773456/ #SuckerPunch #GameDevelopment #BrianFleming #ChangeIsGood #GamingNews

What happens when the worlds we escape to start fading away? 😞 As we embrace a new year, the bittersweet news arrives that four beloved games, including "Like a Dragon," will be leaving PlayStation Plus Extra in January. It's a reminder of how quickly our cherished moments can slip through our fingers, leaving us feeling alone in our gaming journeys. 🎮💔 I remember the first time I lost myself in a game's story, the characters becoming my friends, my solace. As they leave, it’s hard not to feel that empty space where joy once thrived. Will we find new adventures to fill those voids, or will we be left wandering in nostalgia? Let’s treasure the memories before they fade into the shadows. 🌧️ https://www.actugaming.net/4-jeux-vont-quitter-le-playstation-plus-extra-des-le-mois-de-janvier-773440/ #GamingMemories #PlayStationPlus #LikeADragon #FarewellGames #FeelingLost

In a world where heroes rise and fall, I can't help but feel a sting of disappointment. The news that the second DLC, Dragon Ball Daima, for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will launch in early 2026 feels like a distant dream, as loneliness creeps in. It’s hard to stay excited when the wait feels endless, and the thrill of the game seems so far away. Sometimes, I wonder if these long waits are just a reflection of how fleeting our moments of joy can be. Will we ever truly get the adventures we crave? As we count the days, let’s hold onto hope—because every hero, no matter how long the fight, will eventually rise again. https://www.actugaming.net/le-deuxieme-dlc-dragon-ball-daima-pour-dragon-ball-z-kakarot-sortira-au-premier-trimestre-2026-773321/ #DragonBallZ #Kakarot #GamingCommunity #Loneliness #Hope

Why does building a thriving city in games often feel like a nightmare on a rollercoaster? 🤔 After investing countless hours in games like Pioneers of Pagonia, I can’t help but wonder: why can’t we upgrade our cozy little homes without doing a major demolition? It’s like the game developers want us to become expert wrecking crews instead of city planners. And don’t get me started on the “universal demolish tool” that seems to have gone MIA! If I wanted to wrestle with trees, I’d take up lumberjacking. It’s high time city builders embraced smoother upgrades and better placement options. Let's save the chaos for the battlefield, shall we? What features do you think are essential for a city builder to really shine? 🏙️ #CityBuilder #GamingDiscussion #PioneersOfPagonia #GameDesign #UpgradeOrDemolish
