demidatodev -> sadghoststudios

same old content, though! DemiDato’s still happening, not to worry, we’re just changing our socials to reflect the studio name since we’re also making other stuff!

Hey, thanks for your interest!

End Event Announcement

The AU Event has officially come to an end. Normal starters can be posted again. You can take your time wrapping up your Au-threads! Characters are able to remember what happened in the AU-World, if you like them to.

Happy roleplaying!

DREAMWORLD - AU EVENT

Friday, February 3rd the AU-world will come to an end. Madeline will wake up from her dream and so will everyone else. Madeline’s power manifested itself and created a collective dream, meaning that once your character wakes up they will remember what happened in the AU-world. They can remember everything, they can remember bits and pieces, it might take them a while to get the memory of it back, it’s all up to you.

Threads of the AU-world can be wrapped up even after it ends. At this moment we’re trying to close the major plotlines. We hope you had a blast with this event, we certainly did! Thank you all for your great plotting and writing! 

Do you have an idea for a bigger plotline or an event? Let us know! 

EXTENDED DUE TO SUCCES - AU DREAM EVENT

The AU Dream Event was supposed to end tomorrow, but since a lot of plots are about to reach their peak we have decided to extend the event indefintely. At least until the most important storylines have taken place. We estimate this taking at least another week, if not a little longer. 

We have also decided that once the dream is over, characters will remember bits and pieces of it once they wake up. This is to not completely discard all the development and progress they went through. More information will follow on this once the event is actually over.

As always if you have any suggestions or questions we’d love to hear them!

With the way things are going in the software and IT industry, I think there's a strong case for a new role:

"Dev-Admins"

These are developers who also contribute to the design, implementation and management of systems that not only assist with development (e.g. revision control, development environments, integrated testing), but also contribute to system administration related duties for production systems such as web applications and database management.

Why have such a role? Well, in a lot of cases, it is the developer and not so much the system administrator that has the knowledge and insight about any customised systems deployed. They are often uniquely placed to provide guidance on areas such as system configuration and performance tuning.

I know in smaller companies, developer's naturally assume such roles (due to necessity). Perhaps, in bigger companies, such roles need to be formally identified?
