This just feels like another form of the mythical man month argument.

Subjectively, I have only noticed a steady increase in posting activity on Bluesky and Mastodon over the last few months, to the point where I now have a hard time keeping up with my feed.

Doubt it. In my Bluesky and Mastodon feeds, there are plenty of intelligent and interesting people who will never return to Twitter under any circumstance. So I don't know if Twitter will ultimately "win" in terms of overall

You’ve mentioned before that you were from a third world country. (Bangladesh, was it? A 90% Muslim nation?) Yet I assume you believe yourself to be a net positive contributor to your country of immigration? That your children will help t

Well, from personal experience, code reviews at the FAANG I worked at were taken quite seriously. (But we were building OS frameworks so it mattered more.)

Code reviews are fun when you can trust the competence of the coder.

Ditto: have yet to find something for everyday use that tastes better to my palate, even when compared to higher end sauces. Their mirin is quite good, too.

I expect some government AI will soon be trawling through the databases of every social media network and assembling a political profile of every US resident. (They’re already starting to do this for tourists and visitors: https:/&#x2

The Project 2025 people and the Yarvinists agree that elite universities like Harvard are spreading the “woke mind virus” and must be destroyed. They consider their movements a revolution, not an iteration on the status quo.

The original Spelunky, but not HD. The devs talked about how they started out with the Braid engine and then just rolled their own.

I don’t know Berry’s game dev history, but Celeste designer Maddy Thorson has been making fantastic 2D platformers since, essentially, the very beginning of Western indie games. (Jumper 1 was released in 2004!) In other words, I think Celes

Games are “dead” in the same way that music is “dead.”

Just off the top of my head, Celeste, Super Meat Boy, Fez, Spelunky, Dead Cells, Braid, and The Witness all use custom engines and are widely considered some of the best indie games of all time. Moreover, I think much of their charm and uni

At least as far as platformers go, physics feel is a crucial part of the whole experience, and outsourcing to an engine has a good chance of making your game feel cookie-cutter.

I would not be surprised if X/Grok management forced staff to make social media flagging runs throughout the day. Just look at the insane comment graveyard for this post.

How am I supposed to start a small business if I’m dependent on my big corpo job for healthcare? Without a robust social safety net, only the rich and well-connected can afford to take economic risks. Eventually, this just results in a flat

Not that it's an excuse, but industry darling Gabe Newell has engaged in similar dark patterns since well before Fortnite[1]. Yet, for some reason, there's not a lot of "fuck Newell" people out there. To be frank, I thin

OP is right. It’s Epic’s fucking store (in the EU) and Apple has no right to block anything there, despite their legal conniptions.

I trust Sweeney’s intentions far, far more than I do Cook’s. The man is a bona fide hacker from the trenches and does not hide his true feelings behind a corporate firewall.
