I'm a socialist and Kamala was an awful candidate for president.
I've been a developer for 15 years, and yet when I play a Zachtronics programming game I feel like it's my first time programming.

Something about old, low level languages just feels like you can never be an expert, and that the old exceptional programmers of the 70s are magical and gone.

The only thing Windows has left is games. I think I just need to switch to my Mac for streaming and be done with it. Unreal runs on mac, as well as all the software I need to make and code games.

So great that Google is now citing "Reddit Users" for their results.

Because when I want accurate information some bloke down the pub is the person to go to.

Trying to get into games development as a career is so hard. Between you and a project is this black void of challenge, and you have to go in alone, or at least it sure feels that way.

After so long in professional development I worry that my love for programming has faded, but then I get stuck in to a low level interest like C and I feel the spark glowing again. 😊

@patriciataxxon.bsky.social in the spirit of Tumblr asks, have you played Replicube? It's got a bit of a Zachtronics vibe, only it's with shader code instead of procedural programming!

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today we honor those we’ve lost. Trans people are at a high risk of hate crimes, discrimination, poverty, and the current systems are tossing out the actual medically agreed on treatment guidelines for torture (conversion therapy).

Graphics programming and c++ both scare me, but they're the titans I must face in order to make some proper games!

Really want to make @bsky.app work, but it seems to just not play nice with Last pass. Every time I login it forgets the password I used, so I need to reset the thing constantly.

Means I just don't have the app open all the time, but I want to get better with it.

Been a while Bluesky. How are things going over here?

Big news; huge: I think FFX has made its way abobe FFVIII on my list of top Final Fantasy games, breaking through the nostalgia goggle glass ceiling and into podium terrirory.

There's a lot of game design to talk about, but so far it just feels nicer to play the opening

It's worth The Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman applies specifically to descrimination based on sex, but it does not reinterpret any of the provisions specifically related to gender reassignment.

Here's why #AI is not going to replace us in its current form.

I asked a simple question about delayed state updates in React, and it created a timeout that would error on unmount.

I told it to fix, and it created a local timeoutId that did nothing.

AI cannot replace expertise, even on basics.

The more I use Generative AI for real projects, the lower an opinion I have of it for writing quality code.

It has ZERO competency to make clean code through dry principles or human readable stuff, and my experience is 95% using it as an advisor then implementing my own code.

I can't tell if programming is getting harder because I'm challenging myself or just getting older.

I know this is an official term, but thanks to Mormon TikTok this phrase is absolutely ruined for me. #soaktest

It's so damn refreshing to see the people I like's messages appearing right in front of me 😍

Everyone's all about the optimism on Bluesky, but who is going to be the first villain of the day???

Incredible day today. Worked out mentally, physically and socially, and now I'm ready to collapse ☺️

Every successful social media platform had a normal looking guy that everyone knows. MySpace had Tom, Facebook had Mark-pre-robot-Zuckerburg, and Twitter had George Takei and Mark Ruffalo.

Who does @bsky.app have?
