Saw a post not too long ago, going on about how game dev is supposed to be hard and suck but you’re not a real game dev unless you’ve suffered through that. 🤷‍♂️ Don’t have the source anymore.

There seems to be a group of ‘hardcore’ game devs who say you must build your own game engine to truly be a game dev.

Imagine if ‘hardcore’ web devs claimed you must build your own browser to truly be a web dev. Silly.
