#thrage

[00:57:28] N: Hnn they just have Salsita Software credited for the programming of artifracture, whereas Shock Switch directly has Thrage credited for programming (and Xhaztol for something else) [00:58:02] N: Only mildly paying attention but ye Thrage isn't in the credits of the new game at all [01:01:24] quo: Interesting [01:01:34] quo: So they finally hired an outside source [01:02:02] quo: well that makes sense, I think [01:02:26] quo: back when the thrage thing first happened, people were saying "I know some programming, lots of people can do his job, fire him immediately" [01:02:32] quo: and, true, Thrage's job is...rather expendable [01:02:38] quo: but [01:03:03] quo: with larger coding projects, there's a certain point where the code becomes unreadable to anyone except the guy who wrote it [01:03:15] quo: only the guy who wrote it knows it in full, knows all the variables and what every line is supposed to do [01:03:28] quo: so it's easier to have that one guy finish it, than to have another team pick up after him [01:03:35] quo: so that's why Thrage finished shock switch [01:03:48] quo: after that, when starting a new project, they probably just outsourced it
