Ok hot take time, langchainjs is absolute dogwater.

Using the js langchain / langgraph to do chat + memory + stream + structured output to work is way harder than it should be.

Also their docs are the worst thing since AWS amplify.

Time to checkout ai-sdk by vercel, 🙏hope its not dogwater too

It's been two months since my last game dev post and so much has changed since.

I've decided to pivot to a completely different idea and my initial motivation has long since disappeared.

After my day job as a dev I find it hard to do more after work. How do you guys do it?

My Duolingo stats for the year, crazy how one lesson a day makes you top 10%.

How hard would it be to do top 1%? 🤔

Been messing around with UI toolkit and I've found it super easy to do basic animations like the below. I never even needed to write any code, all of it was done in UI builder.

I really liked doing this kind of UI as I can leverage my web dev frontend skills. However there are still drawbacks

It's my first time working with shaders in Unity, what do you think?

I'd love to hear feedback, I'm planning on having this as part of the background in my 2d game

I’m early on in my game dev journey and I’ve been feeling a bit of imposter syndrome and whether I’m cut out for game dev.

Today I just finished a prototype main menu screen to load the core play scene and I can feel it coming together piece by piece.

It’s the small things that count 😄

Has anyone tried the UI Toolkit builder in unity and enjoyed it?

I thought I’d enjoy it more with my familiarity with css but it feels undercooked.

Flexbox is great but in unity there doesn’t seem to be a gap property like css.

The image tint thing didn’t work for me either for icons I imported

Coming from web dev and finding that Unity doesn’t support svg is wild.

Luckily I found out that Inkscape exists and I could export it as a higher quality png

I’ve been a software dev for 8 years and learning unity has been a challenge.

Especially going back to OOP.

I miss importing functions like typescript without the need to attach them to a static class.

Also don’t get me started with testing mono-behaviours. Split the logic in those!

This super ultrawide monitor 49” is soo good for coding without bezels.

Also give aerospace a shot if you’re on macOS, it’s similar to i3 tiling manager on Linux
