Android 17 sucks. So I put Linux on a phone.

Online banking, extra validation during online purchases, online government services, validating mobile payment, and more.

And technically it's not government ID but rather organized by banks. There is a government organized one(at least I think it's government organized) as well but only really works for government services.

I'm a gameplay programmer who have worked with Unity and Unreal and I've experiment with Rust for gamedev(though only for hobby projects) and for regular code. My conclusions so far is that Rust sucks for gameplay code, for most other things it's kinda nice.

The biggest reason is that it's much harder to write prototype code to test out an idea to see if it's feasible and feels/looks good enough. I don't want to be forced to fully plan out my code and deal with borrowing issues before I even have an idea of if this is a good path or not.

I would say though that because you are using ECS stuff it is at least plausible to do in Rust but at least for my coding/development style it still isn't a good fit.

As a gameplay programmer I fully disagree. Just the ability to quickly ask a designer near you for clarifications or to if modifying the design slightly to save on time is worth soo much.

Asking over slack just isn't the same as it adds more friction, takes longer, and makes it easier for misunderstandings to sneak in.

To be fair though it can be worth sometimes working from home to give you less distractions if you need some full focus time... And other jobs in the industry does gain a lot more from being fully remote...
