I can’t. We are not talking about a start up trying to deliver a product to test the market as soon as possible but a gaming studios delivering a polished experience. I really hope they didn’t have such amateur problems
I wonder how this game got released in the first place. In another life I worked as game tester and I am sure that most issues I read on 2077 must have been caught in those test. If Sony really cares about their brand more than fearing the competitors they could have stopped the release.
People voting me down probably didn’t get my point. If a tool is inefficient people won’t use it. A way to detect COVID that would produce many false positive would mine the spread of its use. Also, if the demographic sample is not done properly in theory you could risk having people underrepresented getting the wrong end of the stick. Imagine what this would mean in countries like USA!
A lot of false positive would make this solution unreliable and would have the same effect of a lockdown. Also, 70k people sample could also mean discrimination towards minorities, we aren’t all made the same.
Your example is something illegal and easy to condemn but you are raising a good point about thinking of the consequences of our job. It is hard to balance career with ethics.
From my experience the amount and the quality of resources available in English is simply not comparable with any other language. Surely it is possible without but much harder. I am Italian, during my studies I had the chance to read technical books both translated and in original language. The translation is usually very poor. On a daily basis work scenario, no Italian online resource would come close to stackoverflow to help diagnose issues quickly. Moreover, it takes time for official documentations to be translated in other languages. Even years in some times. It really depends on your sector. If you work in a niche area where you don’t necessarily need to be up to date with the industry you could survive without English.
Stavros, you said it yourself. It depends on the language you already speak. Learning a programming language doesn’t have any starting point whereas a human language has. Regardless of how different the languages, you can still find similarities in sounds, phrase constructions, etc. Learning to code doesn’t have this
Human languages are intuitive, share some aspects and we have centuries of knowledge on how to learn them. Programming is still a relatively new activity in comparison and requires a set of knowledge that you don’t already get in your youth like speaking does. I also know basic Greek and I can swear it was easier to learn than coding at a professional level.
You simply can’t be effective in programming without knowing English. Having few words translated in your language wouldn’t help much. Moreover it is much easier to learn English than learning how to code.
No intention to be rude but the Readme page doesn’t seem written by somebody native. I understand that English is basically the only language for technical writing but writing that bad in Italian defies the purpose of this Gem altogether.
I don’t know anything about Dutch politics and it might not have been himself creating this commit but I like seeing this kind of communication in a government open source project. Usually they get the spotlight only when they tragically fails.
As a fellow not native speaker I don’t think this should matter the moment you choose to use English. Also, personally, it wasn’t just the grammar that put me off but also all the aggressive colloquialism used.
