Dusting off the game I made during the pandemic and trying to actually grow the player base in earnest. It's turn-based two-player game sorta like chess, but the pieces take up multiple spaces. App Store: https://apps.apple.

Scenario: A Canadian tech worker (software engineer) has been working in tech for 10-ish years, however, their University degree (general BA, BSc, etc) does not match the work that they've been doing. Would this person be SOL for a TN&

I'm working on my online multiplayer game: kingbit (iOS). I released it back in 2023 and haven't touched the code since. It's still by far my most successful app (7.3M impressions, 500 MAU) so I'm excavating the code and

Unfortunately, it's usually the case that the last 10/20/30% of a side project takes 90% of the work.

I think about this "potential for ossification" a lot, especially in the Python Data Stack. Because there's a ton of pandas code on GitHub (much of it trash) any data task asked of ChatGPT/Claude inevitably returns some

This is such a weird take. Sam and Greg were at OpenAI for 8 years! Why is it assumed that their “potential contribution to advanced AI research” is contingent on their having spent (no/more/less) time at academic institutions dec

Whereas before I would Google something 20 times, and visit Stack Overflow 10 times per day while coding… Now I visit ChatGPT 28 times per day.

I think about this a lot. About how ChatGPT is perhaps cementing a lot incumbent tech right now. I wonder if the existence of these tools might actually slow down advances in frameworks, packages, libraries, etc...

I think your own personal ranking will depend entirely on the production. For instance, I saw the Stratford (Ontario) production of Timon of Athens a couple of years ago and it’s now one of my favorites. King Lear, by contrast (and on the s

I think a good designer polls his dev team to help him figure out what’s a “big lift” and whats easy. And a good developer works with her designer to point out “big lifts” and helps find compromises!
