Wow. Out of all the trips I've ever taken, this was one of the most meaningful. Ukraine. A country that was invaded almost 4 years ago, and continues fighting for it's survival until today. Everyone knows about that, everyone has seen the news.

But what is it like living in Ukraine in 2025? What is it like to travel the country, where there are no flights? What is like to be in a country where at any moment, air raid sirens could ring out, and a drone or missile could strike you? Somehow millions of Ukraine live with this reality everyday, and they're VERY used to it.

As someone who was put into jail for calling the Russian war in Ukraine an invasion - yes, that's right - I was more than ready to go and meet the people fighting this insane regime. This is my journey, from one end of Ukraine to the other.

Commencement ⁣45th NCCU Commencement Exercises

For most people, working for a game developer likely sounds pretty cool. You get to bring the games that gave you so much joy to millions of people around the world. But, while the job looks fun from the outside, in reality, being a game developer is actually quite rough. For one, game companies are usually able to get away with paying game developers significantly less than market wages. Similarly, game developers generally end up working quite a bit more than traditional software engineers. This can mostly be explained by the fact that most people who become game developers do it out of passion. So, game companies are able to abuse this passion to milk out the most amount of work. This situation is only made worse by the fact that game development skills aren’t easily transferable to traditional tech companies. So, many developers often end up getting trapped within the gaming industry. This video explains the pros and cons of being a game developer and how game developers end up getting ripped off by game companies.
