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.

The Dune: Awakening launch sure is a wild ride but it's all worth it 💛

I wouldn't ever dream of tempting anybody. I'm just stating facts here. For example: DevCom has become a lot better in the new venue and there are still tickets available. Just facts.

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?

Having witnessed network outages because of vendor-confirmed firmware bugs that had no fix available I appreciate every simple, little device that has a functioning MAC table and nothing else.

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.

Working on SSH host certificates via Hashicorp Vault, authenticated through SPIRE/SPIFFE workload attestation. This is definitely the large scale automation setup I need for my [checks notes] three Raspberry Pis.

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.

I knew the state of console game dev was bad with all its secrecy and closed SDKs but EVEN YOU not knowing if YOUR OWN GAME will run on a console releasing in a few days puts a cherry on top.

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.

Your project, your rules. And if it's just internal stuff there's nothing wrong with something like that. I've had to deal with (parsing, generating) countless non-standard game config formats so... I have my scars.

André Becker @arestless.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

I feel like I'm running into a trap but are you sure you don't want to use a YAML parser instead? YAML is a superset of JSON and if your goal is to write "JSON but with less strict syntax" you probably end up with valid YAML

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...

A while ago I tried to articulate it like this. I don't have the vocabulary to accurately describe it, but AI writing is simply "off" in a very specific way. bsky.app/profile/ares...

Yeah, I guess what I'm wondering about is the existence of a constructive proof of that property (might be the wrong lingo, my English math vocab is limited), i.e. one that works without using contradiction.

000

André Becker @arestless.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Yeah, I get that. You just got my mind rolling on the counter proof, i.e. what the proof is for "there are real numbers that can't be described". Let's see if I can sleep tonight x)
