Why every software engineer should play Factorio (ahmedhossamdev.com) 3 points by ahmedhossamdev 2d ago ↗ HN
[–] bovermyer 2d ago ↗ That's a good writeup!I've tried Factorio, but I think the very thing that draws some people in is what drove me away. I already spend enough time managing systems and optimizing for load, etc. I don't need to spend my leisure time doing that, too. [–] ahmedhossamdev 2d ago ↗ Same here, I do systems stuff. But Factorio is different for me. it's visual and hands-on vs abstract diagrams, so it hits different.
