It totally is a difference in culture. Maybe not everywhere but I would generally say developers release more work open then visual artists do.
The possible game state is also much larger than poker. Deck construction alone is 60 cards out of about 30,000 unique cards. Sure, not all cards are viable in all decks, but we can have 1-4 copies of a card in our deck.
So we might not even know if we’re playing against mono-red or multicolored since the decklist is unknown. You can think you’re playing mono-red and then they suddenly play a Plains. Poker at least always has the same 52 cards to reason about.
I do think AI could be great at coming up with decklists though.
For iPhone apps Apple is way behind with about 0.005% of the total 2.17 million iPhone apps.
This causes problems with forms and at airports that don’t allow for Swedish name rules.
One can also use a compare service like Bredbandsval ("val" means both choice and whale) https://www-bredbandsval-se.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_t...
I can watch all of it on YouTube or Twitch for free.
For best developer, I think it is good to learn a bit about each team member's role. Learn some UX design, Scrum Master, Tester, Product Owner and Database Admin. You don’t need to learn enough to be able to do their job but enough to understand how and what they work with.
Keep learning programming, more languages, you come from the web, learn some Golang, Rust, Elixir, Python, to learn different paradigms. Do some side projects about things that you are passionate about (I play Dungeons & Dragons so I have built tools and websites to help with that).
Maybe get a job at a consultancy, you get to work with different clients in different domains and learn a lot.
But as others have pointed out, don’t burn yourself out. It sucks and takes a long time to come back from. Godspeed
