Just to +1 the sentiment here; AI in the gaming industry is absolutely a culture war front. Especially in the indie space, you will lose advertising deals with many sponsors & influencers, for example, if you appear to endorse AI. Proba

As a small business owner, I look for people who can walk the line. Who understand that there's a bottom line, but also that we are not machine men with machine hearts. I respect the candidates who stand for something and can pragmatic

One of my favorite games, and I recommend it to anyone who loves a good existential sci-fi horror. If you are not comfortable with stealth games, it also has a "Safe Mode" where enemies aren't a threat to you if you just want

How dare you make a performant, accessible app that's easy to distribute, instead of spinning up a different eng. team to maintain a different codebase on a different deployment pipeline so 1% of your userbase can say it's a &quot

As a consumer, how/why should I engage with the scorecard? What do I do with a list of a bunch of errors and linter warnings? What's the ideal flow on the user-end? Scorecard seems great on the developer side.

Sorry, but there's not even a single hint of a visual relationship to Animal Crossing here. I believe this title is inaccurate.

The y-prosemirror rewrite is super exciting! To speak on yjs: We use yjs over at LegendKeeper. We're not a huge app, but our users do worldbuilding for D&D, and have amassed over 30+ million collaborative documents, ranging from ri

lols and unhinged predictions aside, why are there communities excited about a singularity? Doesn't it imply the extinction of humanity?

AI tools are indeed are a revolution of software engineering. That said, it's easy to be a fearless advocate for revolutionary tech when, no matter what happens, you are already set for life.

Do you see me petitioning the site to remove their comment? They are welcome to have bad taste and a bad attitude.

I'm glad to hear it; thank you! Reach out if you have any questions or recs. :D

These comments are rough. Some weird hostility to self-expression in here. "Back in my day, laptops were about TECHNOLOGY! Where's the conservative stickers!?" Ok, put some "conservative stickers" on your laptop and

Nice! How did you go about finding a growth marketer that was a good fit with your business?

Totally; and big respect to the people who put in hundreds of hours of prep. I did leetcode, practice interviews, 4.0 gpa, all that. I think the big hang up for me was, no matter how many practice interviews I did, there were only 4 real on

There's been this vein of advice from the past decade that's in the realm of "just work at FAANG". Always rubbed me the wrong way; they make it sound so easy, lol. The couple of interviews I managed to get after hundreds

Big obsidian fan, but I will say: notes being “just markdown” is not entirely true depending on how you use obsidian. If you are a plug-in heavy user, and those plugins introduce new syntax and lots of JavaScript functionality, you are accu

Very cool overview and a great article—it’s fascinating to see how far web components have come. Data passing, interactivity, and state management still seem pretty tedious in vanilla, though!

Alternatively, you can keep using React and have access to a huge pool of experienced react developers and libraries. React DevTools have gotten quite good; it’s not hard to catch 99% of perf issues anymore. Inexperienced devs will write ba

Yeah, how can you honestly review something associated with the world’s most powerful person? Who’s also shown they’re willing to swing their weight against any normies that annoy them?

Would love to see profiling to show where the React approach was falling short.

I run all of LegendKeeper's infrastructure on Render, save for a few serverless functions. It's been convenient; I rarely think about infra at all anymore.

Unless they've changed it recently, the auto-save seems to only bother firing off every few hours. All three attempts I've made at the game have ended with losing progress to the save system.

This game is right up my alley but it’s so engrossing I always forget to save and lose hours of my progress.

Similar experience. I’ve never received much good advice, or found anything that feels like it “works”, just small, accumulating long-game actions that drive up traffic/conversions a hundredth of a percent at a time. Blog posts, paid a

If people constantly have to ask if your test is a measure of AGI, maybe it should be renamed to something else.

Design-first thinking with tokens is a game-changer for an org building a product that needs to adapt to multiple clients. It's still useful for a singularly-branded product just for separation-of-concerns reasons, but maybe less usefu
