Sweet Turrón tea is something I wasn't aware existed, but that's the beauty of Christmas, discovering new things! It smells too sweet but it's actually really nice. It contains apple, cinnamon, almond and flavoring. Highly recommend. ☕️✨

Every year I give my partner a Kickstarter game for Christmas. This year I picked Maseylia: Echoes of the Past by @solbrothers.bsky.social I'm sure he's going to love it. The art is inspired by Moebius, so if you're like me, a fan of The Incal, check it out and wishlist it!

Late for the party but this year we made 56 filhoses and tried to make chickpea azevias for the first time, they were not bad. The dough was gourgeous.

Spent the day in the kitchen but it was worth it!

Finished Careless People. This was, at times (many times), a tough listen. There's much that could be said, it's one of those books that has so many interesting parts that I should have taken notes along the way.

I've been using Claude, ChatGPT and occasionally Gemini to help me write cover letters. I understand why there's a mob fighting the em dash, but what about "smooth"? If there's a way to prove AI wrote something, I'd say, it's the word "smooth".

My friend made a 2-player boardgame, where two creatures try to adapt to a series of changing environments, like growing fur or developing thumbs, and your goal is to settle down to make a nest together ❤️Sounds great, try it out!

I'm half way through Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, wow. Every chapter is more incredible than the last. I don't know why the word careless was used instead of horrible, maybe I'll find out at the end. It's a great way to get to know the backend of Facebook.

A recruiter saw "game development" on my CV and asked where I'd worked with software. Apparently it's not obvious to everyone that games ARE software. PSA for hiring managers: game development is software development, whether you're coding or managing teams.
