GIP Interface

A writeup on how to directly communicate with GIP (Xbox One) devices on a basic level.

I tried Windows.Gaming.Input.Custom and was unable to get it to work, so I resorted to this. Would have liked if I could do things more legitimately with what little documentation was provided, but oh well.

This writeup is not at all comprehensive of every possibilty with the interface, otherwise there'd be far too much to go through.

Thanks to the XInputHooker project for having a bunch of function detours set up, made my life easier when doing all of this.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real
