I write video essays about gaming and occasionally do educational content about computer science!
Factorio teaches you software engineering, seriously.

A video essay about how Factorio shares an incredible amount of similarities with Software Engineering and Computer Science. And how playing the game makes you a Software Engineer! (kinda sorta really).

How to change your work area in Adobe After Effects

How to change your work area to suit your needs in Adobe After Effects. If you didn't understand what I said or are just too lazy to see the actual video then here's how to change your work area: 1) Go to your composition that you're working on. 2) Right click and go to Composition Settings. 3) Find duration and change it to the time you want the work area to extend to. 4) Click OK.
As entertaining as it was informative. Good job.
It's... miserable?
MOAR!
Man, you are really good at explaining things!
Note to self: Play factorio.
communism sucks
Does that AWS joke say more about modern Pokemons or more about AWS naming schemes? 😂
I want to build a server service system but I need to hire someone like you that builds those systems. What do I need to know so I know if I'm hiring the right person or not?
I don't care how great it is. I'm not paying 30 bucks for it.
great video do more
Did you talk to my mom on facebook yet
what about gtnh
I am a software engineer and I genuinely enjoyed that. Yes please make another video on this topic. I'll watch that one as well.
stop talking to my mom
My exact thoughts. Even though I did some C++ And Python, I thought the game taught us programming skills. Happily subscribing.
The attention aid was very helpful
more of this please!
Loving all of this!
Being an computer engineer (both software & hardware) left me with a dilemma when playing factorio & I ended up picking a monolific 'chip' based construct as my base as there was only 6 'end result' commodities in the game (the science bottles, 7 if we count space research). Therefore I constructed a base where 3 sides of my 'chip' dealt with 2 of the end products (Red/Green (shared gears), White/Purple (shared stone bricks) & Blue/Yellow (shared engines)) with White taking up the last side. Now I know this is not the way to provide an effiecent, scalable solution but my premise at the time was to constuct a base that could handle a 1k full load requirement without the base running out of resources. Copper & Iron plate production was left remote (near the ore patch & transported in via a dedicated train). This allowed the exterior of the 'chip' to allow oil, power & train input to be placed around the base to ensure delivery of the essencials where needed (a sort of train based load balencing if you will). It works very well for the requirement I had set for it but lacks scalability as I would have to increase the whole base to achieve a greater amount of thoughput but considering that a 1k load pretty much covers the whole of the games research path (until we hit space science), I found my construction to be acceptable for game completion purposes. Moreover, I see my base now as a mirror of my engineering mind, you see I have always approched engineering tasks IRL with the notion of NOT specifically following other peoples designs, as we cannot learn new things if we simply copy/paste from others unless it works well to complete the goal required. Factorio & games of this type are not constrained to any typical path to completion & allows us to experiment with different designs to complete specific tasks, this is the hook that keeps me wasting my life playing them.
I LOVE YOU
MORE.
we want more, please make second part <3
Man, asians are fascinating.
Bro i think the views and like tell you if you should make more vids!

Technically a game is a high level abstraction of the code which runs the game. Your movement and actions in the game are inputs for the program which runs the game so you are manipulating state by playing.
I played 5000 hours of factorio. Still cant code for shit.
Well sure, it teaches a few ideas. But saying that it makes one a software engineer is low balling it severely. Perhaps that's why we have so many mediocre ones these days and they are getting laid off
1 minute in: this is a masterpiece 5 minutes in: THIS IS A MASTERPIECE 15 minutes in: I can’t keep writing the same thing here help 20 minutes in: I’m definitely gonna talk to your mom about this End: we need more
It was a joyful experience when I played this game with my other fellow software-developers. We instinctively understood this game has so many commons with our actual work. We use various kind of developer's word like 'API', 'Maintainability', 'Scalability' or 'Optimization' so many times when we play. We talk to each other like, "Hey Jin, can you make iron plate API at that place? The input will be coal and iron ore, and the output should be 4-line convey of iron plate."
boss socks, brother. I was going to briefly mention that I think the readability vs performance tradeoff is more nuanced than the "rule of thumb" blanket statement you made. However, I was unable to efficiently get my point across, as it was hurting the readability of my comment. (this joke worked really well lol) (and might have worked against me)
I've had Factorio on my Steam wishlist for ages but it never seems to come down in price much. As a software engineer, I'm not thinking I shouldn't bother because why would I want to take a break from software engineering by doing something so similar to software engineering?
You played Factorio to cope with software engineering, I left software engineering to just play Factorio We are not the same
Where is part 2??!
Great Video, please consider working on yt a lil more.
Im factorio player and sofware dev
Factorio is a software engineers dream. Every component is fully visible and has obvious inputs and outputs. Let's take a moment of silence for people debugging microservices with dependencies that change at run-time..
so funny. XD Love your humor
da bugging
I have 1350 hours on factorio, is it enough for a degree?
I never really try to finish factorio. I like to play on “peaceful” and expand as far and as big as i can. I automate every single item, and sometimes i take it all apart just to organize it better. Ive played on the same world for years, and take extended brakes from the game. 6 months at times. Somehow everytime i come back to it i remember exactly what i was thinking the last time i played, and what i need to continue doing next
The KSP of rocket science
Funny guy
make multiple videos
9:45, you're missing the 4th dimension (W scaling?) which is making the bus move faster, which will only matter if your horizontal scaling gets out of hand in comparison with the bus speed. so... internet speed bottleneck?
I managed to not play factorio No more 5pm to 5 am sessions No more, "oh i think I have an idea" at dates No more spagueti in my life... Am I really free?
Amazing video but some of the jokes seem too forced and come across to me as cringy. Like the spaghetti one, or the intro when you fall into the green screen
Usually I have constructive criticism for every video but yours is perfect, from the storytelling to the pacing to the editing and humor...
I love your socks
I love factorio, great game were I can veg, 1k+ hours Computer Engineer degree Working as a Automation lab admin
