Technically the decision was made for me, but changing jobs was the best thing that ever happened to me. I went from a toxic culture I worked at for 16 years (well, it was about 10 years of the toxic culture that snuck in without me realising) to work for a small consultancy where I have a boss that actually appreciates everything I do and supports me in what I need.

The massive pay increase was just a bonus on top of all that.

Not giving your content to someone else. Not obeying their rules. Having control over the domain name (Medium doesn't support adding custom domains anymore).

I had the opposite. I met my wife playing WoW, then had a few drinking nights with the guild and one thing lead to another.

Yep, that’s correct.

They did, they’d come sit at my desk and push the button. I always thought it was weird.

I always get amazed that people want to "push the button" to deploy. So many times BA's and AE's wanted to hit the Release button on our iOS App.

I'm wondering if returning 418 is some sort of "off by one" error. Maybe their list of error codes are in an array, meant to send 500, but picked n-1 falling on 418?

Even older than that, Comanche: Maximum Overkill (1992) was voxel based. Amazing at the time, but I remember it'd fall apart pretty quickly as you got close to objects.

I downloaded the Insiders just to have the green icon. While I have no issues with the icon or the colour directly, I found that it was too similar to Sublime Text which sits next to it on my quick launch. Yes, I could have changed the icon manually, but I'm lazy.

Sounds like an API version of Superhot.
