Weekly Dev Questions, Jey… fixing codes

So i’m being told i need to make a blog post to answer those questions, here we are.

memorysample

My questions this week are from starwyrm:
1. hours of SS played weekly?
2. what recently released content have you worked with?
and just for you:
3. so you’re Canadian, Eh? east or west? either way, shoutout from New Brunswick!

The number of hours I spend playing SS vary greatly from week to week. Depending mostly on how many major problems I have to fix. But on average i would say I spend about 20hours playing ss (Not counting afk time)
I do spend quite a good share of this time on secret unteamed alts that i just enjoy leveling and meeting random people.

I very rarely work directly on content or content code, my role is more of a code management thing. Bug and crash fixing, performance improvements, security implementation, backup systems, server configuration and such.
I am especially the one stuck with being awake for days when the server experience major problems… extreme lags, hardware failure / replacement, external attacks, patch going wrong, memory corruption errors and the likes. Mostly because well… if i dont do it, who will ?
It takes a special kind of mental illness to have the instinct needed to figure those weird issues that make very little sense up to the point where you do track it down, and apparently, I am affected !

As for the last question, I am east Canadian, more specifically from Quebec. I live in Saguenay but thats about as precise as you’ll get :P .
