Gamedev is so time consuming. You code a feature in 5 minutes and then spend 3 hours playing around with it. oof

@ninovandermark yeah, its even worse when it turns out fun, because then the playing time gets way longer haha

@nauris Very true! Getting a feature from "working" to "fun" is a journey.
Of course, I believe the same applies for general software development. Building something can be done quickly, but building the right thing is what takes time.

@nauris That's still better than coding for 5 minutes and then spending 5 hours hunting an obvious bug ^^

Or you can spend 3 days doing nothing while trying to come up with a perfect solution that doesn't even exist!
