    That moment when 10 years late you discover #broforce and go nuts about it! Crazy game, and looks like it could be released today!

    I&#39;m running a software house without developers but with #AI for almost a year already.. last year this time it was still a bit of pain in the arse.. but now... I must admit the fruits of that development strategy become clear winners!

    https://stephango.com/design-is-compromise That article I need to remind occasionally to all celebrity-CTO/CIOs of the web who instead of sharing insights about meaningful tech/business decisions just pitch corporate politics related bollocks with hope noise will keep them relevant

    The funniest WOKEism joke I can recall coining last two decades of WOKEism is “girls who travel”

    I really like so many people have come back to blogging. like seriously regularly blogging with quality. We got that right before Twitter and Facebook came in, distracting us for 20 years or so... that should have never happened. I like personal blogs on self-controlled places in the internet much more than all that centralised social media crap that still dares to live.

    I used Helix Editor for over a year, as detox from vscode and I loved it. I still do.. but codex made me very much passive editor user and then I simply started using Zed for code reviews. but in vim/helix mode... and then after a year of not doing much editing, mostly reading and searching... I freaking found out myself that I need to re-learn vi(m) the helix way in zed again... damn it!

    RE: https://techhub.social/@ithorrorstories/116933021278792294 Very much this! Especially when AI becomes new mainframe as some sort of AI applicance enterprises can take back to their offices instead of relying of 5GW datacenters consolidated in untrusted locations.

    All you people who are scared and hating AI because it replaces human labour... if you&#39;re truly at risk... then it means you have no skills worth mentioning, in the first place. People with real and valuable skills shouldn&#39;t be worried nor at need for strong emotions related to AI #ai #haters

    @sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place I used them at Uni before PCs were brought in. Or similar terminal sets. Those were the times. Who had access to shell on those and could access early internet was a hacker hero in the hood!

    I really love and appreciate how @shanselman is running OSPO&amp;#39;s leaders to keep discovering and unlocking gems like this: https://opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2026/04/28/continuing-the-story-of-early-dos-development/ &amp;quot;Our&amp;quot; true spirited man in huge corporation, continually doing just fine! Good job Hancock!

    Update I turned my exe to be under 380kB on Windows by just swapping compilers back to Visual C++. Seems that my 10+ years &quot;fuck no&quot; to MSVC++ ran by mannered people (most are gone anyway I think, anyway).. maybe should be reconsidered.

    @dosnostalgic Six? wow.. I remember 4 that was kind of a bummer because of 3D... but 6? I just checked and 5 is the same 2D style.. lovely I need to catch some Gobliins!

    I started playing Sherwood on c64 yesterday. Lovely little title. I found Amiga quite stagnant providing mostly some remakes and simple unpolished platformers based on Scorpion these days (I miss the peak time from about 5 years ago on Amiga, those were the times!) but C64 dev community never stops surprising with new innovations and polished titles. Great stuff! #c64 #sherwood

    Zmodem struggle continues, I can download files from Mystic boards just fine, but no luck with C-NET. It’s still fun and extremely satisfactory go get where I’m now with my own custom client #bbs #telnet #zmodem #development

    I had fun today playing with GUI for my procedural texture generator. I have about 15 different generators (templates) plus a number of options for each of them. Still atomic, I need to add layers and compose them with operators, but that&#39;s one big, next milestone to achieve. #demoscene #gamedev #homebrew

    I see another wave of anti-ai bollocks full of emotion and no single logical argument. I keep muting and blocking you people. there is enough stupid noise in the internet already.

    Up until last year’s September I was prompting in a web only to accelerate my coding effort, copy and paste to ide, I have automatized my workflows to get maximum known efficiency using such method and I was.. happy and faster and all things positive. Still with maximum capacity to drive one project forward and more or less old fashioned dev+architect deep dive attention to it. All things changed when I encouraged myself to get into codex and start prompting in terminal, directly on my source c...

    it&amp;#39;s so funny to consider that SharePoint list is the cheapest top performant Object Oriented database. The only thing you need to do is to start using MultiLine text columns to store json and you need mongo no more! #sharepoint

    I&amp;#39;m still fascinated by the product of joint work but I kind of feel burnt out with programming for a while. productivity boost is so crazy that I forgot to actually take some rest and recharge myself, intellectually. important to be self-aware when to make a break! so no coding until end of March.. at least nothing new, maybe some small bugfix if found but now more packing to visit canary islands or something.. it&amp;#39;s well deserved break!

    I don&amp;#39;t have that with most other programming languages.. but regardless how many millions time I&amp;#39;ve done that already there is something DNA-bound to the childhood memory when I type: #include &amp;lt;stdio.h&amp;gt; int main(int argc, char** argv) { printf(&amp;quot;Hello world\n&amp;quot;); return 0; } Like.. this should not be even in the same galaxy of &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m impressed&amp;quot; stars.. but I don&amp;#39;t know.. once a year I just need to do it.....
