~3 years ago i saw a video on twitter with a demo of a custom game runtime with hot reload and time travel (both for game logic and memory values). From debugger, you could time travel to the stack state that modified the value last time.
I can't find it anymore, maybe somebody knows what that was?

Casey Muratori pretty much sums up how I feel about LLMs for coding:
"The AI will always be useless for me. I physically can't get what I want from programming when AI is involved, because what it is doing is robbing me of the experience that I wanted to have and the knowledge that I wanted to get"

Some news to share - Today is my last day at Google. It's been almost 8 years now since I was offered what was basically my dream job at the time: reimagine Android's UI Toolkit.
Working on Compose has been incredibly rewarding, and now it is time for what is next.
