this is difficult! :D

Just to +1 the sentiment here; AI in the gaming industry is absolutely a culture war front. Especially in the indie space, you will lose advertising deals with many sponsors & infl…

As a small business owner, I look for people who can walk the line. Who understand that there's a bottom line, but also that we are not machine men with machine hearts. I respect t…

And none of that avocado toast, am I right??

Purposefully obtuse.

One of my favorite games, and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good existential sci-fi horror. If you are not comfortable with stealth games, it also has a "Safe Mode" where en…

How dare you make a performant, accessible app that's easy to distribute, instead of spinning up a different eng. team to maintain a different codebase on a different deployment pi…

As a consumer, how/why should I engage with the scorecard? What do I do with a list of a bunch of errors and linter warnings? What's the ideal flow on the user-end? Scorecard seems…

Sorry, but there's not even a single hint of a visual relationship to Animal Crossing here. I believe this title is inaccurate.

The y-prosemirror rewrite is super exciting! To speak on yjs: We use yjs over at LegendKeeper. We're not a huge app, but our users do worldbuilding for D&D, and have amassed over 3…

lols and unhinged predictions aside, why are there communities excited about a singularity? Doesn't it imply the extinction of humanity?

AI tools are indeed are a revolution of software engineering. That said, it's easy to be a fearless advocate for revolutionary tech when, no matter what happens, you are already se…

Do you see me petitioning the site to remove their comment? They are welcome to have bad taste and a bad attitude.

I'm glad to hear it; thank you! Reach out if you have any questions or recs. :D

These comments are rough. Some weird hostility to self-expression in here. "Back in my day, laptops were about TECHNOLOGY! Where's the conservative stickers!?" Ok, put some "conser…

As a result of the industry I work in (TTRPGs), sometimes I get to do really fun things. Fun things like: Lock myself in a room with a copy of Calendrical Calculations and make a c…

Nice! How did you go about finding a growth marketer that was a good fit with your business?

Totally; and big respect to the people who put in hundreds of hours of prep. I did leetcode, practice interviews, 4.0 gpa, all that. I think the big hang up for me was, no matter h…

There's been this vein of advice from the past decade that's in the realm of "just work at FAANG". Always rubbed me the wrong way; they make it sound so easy, lol. The couple of in…

Big obsidian fan, but I will say: notes being “just markdown” is not entirely true depending on how you use obsidian. If you are a plug-in heavy user, and those plugins introduce n…

Very cool overview and a great article—it’s fascinating to see how far web components have come. Data passing, interactivity, and state management still seem pretty tedious in vani…

Alternatively, you can keep using React and have access to a huge pool of experienced react developers and libraries. React DevTools have gotten quite good; it’s not hard to catch …

Yeah, how can you honestly review something associated with the world’s most powerful person? Who’s also shown they’re willing to swing their weight against any normies that annoy …

Would love to see profiling to show where the React approach was falling short.

I run all of LegendKeeper's infrastructure on Render, save for a few serverless functions. It's been convenient; I rarely think about infra at all anymore.
