Still running but already look deceptive. Fck that

Nothing works ffs

such a real thread. godspeed

It's not clear, based on personal experience, how long - if it all - the software development field will value devs who actually enjoy the work. Most people I know are producing mostly AI work and there's an obvious skill decline that's resulted from it. 1/?

But does it matter if your boss doesn't care? Or if their boss doesn't care? If the paychecks keep coming who cares? What's the point of choosing the mountain if the "joy" just means more hours on screen that could have been spent elsewhere? 2/?

…

I got into doing dev work, because I thought it was fun to learn and do and I genuinely enjoyed hanging out with others who felt the same. Now, more than ever, I realize how few people feel the same. And, now - more than ever, I realize that no on cares if I feel that way. 3/?

Bosses and their bosses care more about tickets moved and LoC written than quality or knowledgeable employees. 4/4

It never did. Before AI people did webslop in node.js, before that people were slopping in Java. AI changes surprisingly little.

…

Only if you buy into the narrative that AI is "just another layer of abstraction." Which of course, it isn't.

No, it obviously isn't that. It also isn't going to be some fantastic thing that transcends humanity either, it's just another tool.

i made it is an open-source version of grammarly that uses chatgpt, grok subscription or even then already local apple intelligence models.

What a dude.

I am programming a and custom DSL for it in C99. It gets a bit frustrating to think of language design and engine architecture decisions

that sounds cool!!! are you planning to make a visual novel any time soon?

I am actually doing this engine to make my own VN! I wanted a solution that's both light on web and is native. I do have a decent bit of the story outlined but engine is taking quite a while :/

…

could I know what the storys about?!

Welp, I guess it's time to start a tag for that! may be too on the nose perhaps.

no tag for me thank you, my thoughts are free range

playtested my game at an event last night. so much fun to see people curiously prod at mysteries i constructed, and stubbornly battle its challenges. oh no i might actually have to finish this one

Awesome! I'm reading right now and you've captured the vibe.

ah nice, i’ll have to check that one out is it a fun read?

…

I’m enjoying it. tbh I never played the game, but his journal entries are a fun view into the mind, insecurities and all, of someone building something they’re excited about.

Things I'm enjoying lately: Vampire Survivors + Diablo IV Alien + Dune ambiance Howling Dark book 2 of Sun Eater great TV

"If you don't think of yourself years ago as an idiot... Perhaps it is because you still are one." In that spirit I started to write down my own thoughts. I think I am meant to call it a blog. Years from now I can read my old words and cringe at them. www.gruntsoft.com/words/

First post on textlog!

Added it as a company on LinkedIn so it must be 'live' now. Cheltenham-od.uk

So I found the blog of a Ukrainian Front Line soldier on Bear Blog today. Incredibly grim stuff to read, but I really wanna get in touch with that guy now and send him so cash so he can buy a burger. Hope Herman forwards my message 😪

Bad people are working together to enrich themselves and slave others into rat races. Good people need to start working together too.

Good people are always more, if more affraid of things. Bad people, unfortunately, is more willing to make harm, hence why they keep the upper hand. To support eachother is the minimum we need to move forward, and so long this doesn't happen things will remain the same. A revolution, as they say, doesn't happen with a single person, we need the mayority to join.

"we need the majority to join" - this is a very interesting point; actually we only need 3,5% 👌 Erica Chenoweth from Harvard found this from their research with Maria J. Stephan, and wrote the book "Why Civil Resistance Works". They also found that nonviolent resistance is more often successful than the violent ones. Very interesting stuff.

anybody tried barefoot shoes? any thoughts on them?

Feather to paper that's moon inked for you -- a greeting from somewhere. It isn't for you. But it will be for you.

I’m ambivert. When I spend time outdoors and with people I want to keep doing that, I become very extrovert. Can’t code in that mode. It’s hard to switch back to introvert but when that happens time flies really quick. A month can pass and it feels like a week.
