Deadstick - Bush Flight Simulator

This game was presented at the RAF Museum in Cosford a little while ago and is expected to release in the next few months. There's supposed to be a skill tree similar to what was in the Eurotruck/American Truck simulator games as well as a job/cargo system.

From what I can see this game takes two of my favourite types of simulators (Trucking and Flight) and mashes them together in one of my favourite aviation topics of all time, Bush Piloting. Needless to say I'm super excited, from the minimal promotional material it already looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

Outsourcing was the boogeyman in technology 20 years ago, yet somehow we still have a severe deficit of engineers, and we still need strong English speakers in our own timezone. It turns out that coding isn't the core skill you need - it's communicating, and everything that encompasses it. No programming quiz in the world can determine that, and it's where most of your value lies.

My team is in constant desperate need of people who can both communicate and code effectively. We're unicorns.

The idea that you're a cog to be swapped with a cheaper part is insane bullshit that's only perpetuated by bad managers that have fulfilled the Peter Principle.

Unfortunately most larger corporations are packed to the gills with bad managers that have fulfilled the Peter Principle, that's why there is such widespread acceptance of the idea that outsourcing will approach 100% for any function that unionizes.

It's not. Different perspectives and more of the story is revealed each time. It's also not really playing all the missions over again after each restart. While you'll "play through" 4-5 times, each "new game" tends to be shorter than the last. Really, my recommendation is not to consider it a "new" game but part of a single playthrough.
