ABEND dump #27

Welcome to the ABEND dump #27!

Don’t know what is an “ABEND dump”?! I’m glad you asked.

You can check the previous ABEND dump here:

I haven’t been reading that much lately, unfortunately. Or, I did read, but if I don’t remember, it’s not worth mentioning.

So, here goes just a tiny bit of content that stood out for the past 3 months.

Here’s an interview with Anders Hejlsberg. This guy is a legend! Always inspiring to watch his talks and interviews.

As always, Kent Beck makes me think, and yes, I agree with his statement here.

After Sony announced they aren’t going to release physical discs for games, Xbox followed.

It’s a sad time for games preservation. I wish there was at least a way to keep them as physical copies, to play offline in the future, but I doubt most studios would offer this option.

I don’t like this direction where everything is turning into a subscription.

This was sitting here for a while, and just now I managed to find it to share.

How cool is that?! :D
