I'm trying to make my own GUI library in cross-platform C, based on Vulcan. Because evidently I'm a glutton for punishment.

I'm only a couple of weeks in. But it's giving me a break from my programming language that I was working on. (It's a template language, also written in C, also cross-platform, that has a jit compiler with a bytecode fallback.)

I'm beta testing a SaaS called ChimeraHR that helps bridge the divide between developers and HR when it comes to assessing programmer's skill. The main idea is that the programming languages we use reveal a lot about how we think and problem solve. When devs put their top languages on their resumes, they are also saying a bit about how they prefer to work and what they value. This signal is largely lost on HR since a…

HR don't know what coders want, but sadly most of their clients do not care that much either. This is a pity, because happy developers are the key to retention.

I developed multi-ssh, it's a command-line utility designed to simplify the management of simultaneous SSH connections to multiple remote servers. It leverages tmux to create organized sessions, allowing you to interact with servers in separate panes within a single window or in individual windows per server. Features include synchronized input across panes, executing commands on all servers, copying files using rsyn…

Thank you for this. I’ve been baffled by how many of the usual tools are a poor fit for persisting work over SSH across multiple servers.

I have been filling my brain. A long time ago I played around with neural net stuff and had some fun making tiny little things. To give an idea of time frame, this was before people were using ReLU. Going back to it after the recent advances was incredible seeing how much has happened. So many times I'd see something and wondered how I could have missed it the first time only to realise it hadn't been invented yet wh…

This is a good thing. One requires smoothed pathways to run!

I’m finishing several esolangs for the first artist’s monograph of programming languages, out in Sept: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262553087/forty-four-esolangs/ including a hands-free (and not dictated) language.

I recently completed Valence: a language with polysemantic programs https://danieltemkin.com/Esolangs/Valence on GitHub: https://github.com/rottytooth/Valence

Older work includes Folders: code written as a pattern of folders: https://github.com/rottytooth/Folders , Entropy: where data decays each time it’s read from or written to: http://entropy-lang.org/ and Olympus: where code is written as prayer to Greek gods, who may or may not carry out your wishes: https://github.com/rottytooth/Olympus (a way to reverse the power structure of code, among other things).

I have three more to complete in the next few months.

A platform for indie devs to publish WIP web games: (https://flipkick.gg)

The goal is to build a discovery system/algo that surfaces stickiness and fun to give developers a tighter publish/iterate feedback loop so they can really hone their craft on a shorter time frame.

If you have a prototype of a game that can be hosted as a static frontend web rotting away in your "projects/" directory feel free to toss it up on the site. Bugs beware :)

We're building https://tripjam.com after being frustrated with planning trips in regular group chats and trying to organize information across multiple apps. It combines: - Group chat that keeps all travel discussions in one thread - Interactive maps where everyone can pin locations and add notes - Collaborative itineraries that sync with your calendar - AI travel assistant that suggests activities and helps optimize…
