2005 ±10 years was really a golden age for a lot of original stuff and fresh ideas. I sometimes ponder, whether it’s healthy to dig more and more in two decades old stuff, maybe this is some childhood complex. But then I stumble upon a wallpaper with Nika from Guild Wars Factions and the sense of something lost overwhelms me. Well, I was too young for MMO anyway.

I was once asked to recreate a fairly complex state machine for a new framework the customer wanted to use.
Instead of doing that, I delivered a "transition machine" which simplified the problem by 1-2 magnitudes of code needed (cont'd)

"Es ziemt dem Untertanen, seinem Könige und Landesherrn schuldigen Gehorsam zu leisten und sich bei Befolgung der an ihn ergehenden Befehle mit der Verantwortlichkeit zu beruhigen, welche die von Gott eingesetzte Obrigkeit dafür übernimmt; aber es ziemt ihm nicht, die Handlungen des Staatsoberhauptes an den Maßstab seiner beschränkten Einsicht anzulegen und sich in dünkelhaftem Übermute ein öffentliches Urteil über die Rechtmäßigkeit derselben anzumaßen."
