Luggage lost, luggage retrieved, now on my way to #devcom #ddc2025. Give me a ping if you're around!

Software is always just a means to an end. Software isn't worth anything if it doesn't solve an actual problem. Know your users. Know your product. And then build something that really matters.

Oh hey, #PitchYaGame So this is a game about staring down thousands of rats in shining armor—but you're just a little bird with stolen swords you can barely use. Dynasty Warriors x DMC, with some EDF thrown in for spice. Not announced yet, but if you wanna hear first: glassbottommeg.myflodesk.com

If you outsource the core of your business you become an investor. Do you wanna be an investor? Do you have the means to?

Lots of universal truth in here: - The simplest tool that can do the job is the best tool for the job - Bad craftsmen blame their tools

On vibe coding:
I want it to be easier for more folks to write code and understand how the software they use every day works. But software isn't just writing code. It's about learning good architecture: how data is accessed, how it flows, and, most importantly, who can access it and when. You can't just vibe your way through personal information and payment systems, because an issue there isn't just a bug; it has real-life consequences for average users who are entrusting you with their information.

If you're being considered a "10x engineer" that simply means you've failed at elevating your peers above even 10% of your own efficiency. You might think of yourself as a "rock star" or whatever but you sure as hell aren't a senior engineer.

Here's a fun observation: The actual challenge in writing is similar to software development. It's about developing a mental model, an *intent*, and that often has to simmer for a bit. Jotting down the words, or the code, is trivial in comparison. An AI can't develop your mental model for you.

My credo when mentoring engineers is "good software is the software that fulfills the requirements" and it takes most software engineers *years* to truly embrace what that means.

I think I'm gonna rewatch the last episode of Andor S2 today and then Rogue One. And then Episode IV.

I thoroughly love the costume design in Andor. They highlight that fashion is a result of societal and cultural norms and, objectively, does not make sense. This here is as nonsensical as any real world tie.
Andor character Syril Karn dressed in a suit and a black tie that is not worn around the neck, but attached to the front of the shirt.

In coding news, I've been using IntelliJ's "Full line code completion" plug-in for some prototypes and HOLY FUCK does it make me fast. I am extremely skeptical of AI code assistance but this actually works for me - and it runs on the local machine. www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/fu...

I probably have no idea what I'm doing here but I'm doing it anyway. Don't let anyone stop you from doing new things.
Basement. In preparation for a new concrete floor, a blue foil (for protection against moisture) is laid out and is being connected to the wall. A green leveling laser indicates that this is definitely not leveled out.

You know that movie trope, where a semi paranoid character is hunting a mystery, sees a piece of information, their eyes widen, they start frantically flipping through a (note)book, stop on a page, and suddenly everything makes sense? That's me in late game Blue Prince.

So a fun thing that seems to baffle some Americans (including Rubio): This is not a policy decision. It can't be reversed. It's an objective assessment based on our laws and the observed facts. (which, by the way, is how the executive and judiciary should ALWAYS work)

I love how western democracies, when they were established, looked at the US and said "yeah, we won't do it like that.." and the same thing is now happening with right wing populism (hopefully)

The German Office for the Protection of the Constitution ("Verfassungsschutz") has now officially declared the whole AfD as "confirmed right-wing extremist". Let's fuck 'em up.
Article 21 of German Basic Law. Paragraph 2 is highlighted: 

Article 21
[Political parties]

(1) Political parties shall participate in the formation of the political will of the people. They may be freely established. Their internal organisation must conform to democratic principles. They must publicly account for their assets and for the sources and use of their funds.

(2) Parties that, by reason of their aims or the behaviour of their adherents, seek to undermine or abolish the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be unconstitutional.

(3) Parties that, by reason of their aims or the behaviour of their adherents, are oriented towards an undermining or abolition of the free democratic basic order or an endangerment of the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be excluded from state financing. If such exclusion is determined, any favourable fiscal treatment of these parties and of payments made to those parties shall cease.

(4) The Federal Constitutional Court shall rule on the question of unconstitutionality within the meaning of paragraph (2) of this Article and on exclusion from state financing within the meaning of paragraph (3).

(5) Details shall be regulated by federal laws.
