Amen to this. Of the biggest frustrations I've had in my career, at the top of the list is working with engineers who do not take pride in their craft. I'm amazed at the number of people that just dial it in or make minimal effo

I just added functionality to allow users to specify a DD Poker backend server in the UI (see https://github.com/dougdonohoe/ddpoker/issues/1 ). This makes it easier for users to connect to a private DD Poker

I'll have to fix the OSNAME thing, my apologies. That's an env var I have in my local ".zshrc" I had overlooked. I'll fix it later today.

Thanks for the kind words. It did take a bit of work, but it was my pleasure to do so. I hope it is valuable to someone!

It should just work. The developer notes mention M1 ( https://github.com/dougdonohoe/ddpoker/blob/main/README-DEV.... ), specifically around which java to install. If you are having trouble, feel free to

That's great! You are the 2nd person who's told me that. You don't happen to know someone named Ryan in Oakland?

The architecture is very Java centric. The UI is all Swing based (no 3D graphics engine stuff). I would think very little is portable to a modern gaming engine.

Having lived through the dot-com era, I find the AI-era slightly dispiriting because of the sheer capital cost of training models. At the start of the dot-com era, anyone could spin up an e-commerce site with relatively little infrastructu

On the one hand, I think a lot of what ChatGPT can do is pretty amazing and a bit scary as a software engineer. On the other hand, I look at the projects I've done recently and throughout my career and find it hard to see how somethin
