Technically artwork 4 on vacation, but only the second completed so… here it is! Feels nice to draw with no expectations, just… enjoyment

Took a week off last week to recover some energy, I was feeling burnout coming quick. Doing better now, good enough to draw

Glue work is overhead. Much like operational labor, it does not add or create value, it ensures that value creation efforts land and can have an impact on quality. Good glue work is therefore relentlessly efficient. Do as much as you have to, no more. Resist its tendency to sprawl and multiply.

A lot of people in tech hate on user research and UX design because it is the "what the fuck are you doing" function.

A sad person smiles. Another person labeled "data" leans in and says "no." The person is sad again.

LLMs are the ultimate capitalist technology, part n: negative externality edition. Increase your productivity by instantly generating something you can pass off as "done" - and screw the people downstream who are going to use your outputs as their inputs.

If you're wondering if your new games aren't as good as your old games, ask the people who made your old games about it. If you've fired them all, you've found your problem.

I was asked to be a interviewee for "The Blood on our Controllers", a documentary about Palestine & their dehumanization in games by @hippolyte.bsky.social. It's out now. There are parts where I don't quite keep it together, and it is hard to watch myself struggle. Proud to have spoken up, though.

I finally remembered to bring a pen with me to Ottavio. The person cleaning the table will get a small treat

So happy to see the art community here. It’s the one thing I missed filling my feed on Bluesky

A ratio of puns delivered : puns I thought of, by year. I’m sure I’ve gotten quicker on the trigger as I’ve aged

Just returned from a Mexican vacation! Much needed R&R (my first destination trip since the pandemic). Spent most of the time on the beach, but spent a little time drawing. Out of practice (cause my free time is nil if I’m not on vacation) but enjoyed the process!

Every time I want to go full beard mode about a month in I question my sanity and shave it all. Today I did it again

Placed 6th in veteran men’s epee this weekend, 2 touches out of getting a medal. Closest I’ve come to one at a provincial level since my return to the sport!

"AI will make us more productive" - I could already increase my productivity by reducing the quality of my work even without AI!

Super weird to me the number of parents who come to fencing practice just to stand around and watch. Maybe 30 kids tonight and only 3 parents who’be joined the club. There’s not even benches or seats!

I did a free mentorship for new-to-the-industry designers a few years back and am tempted to do it again, better. Anyone know of existing programs looking for mentors so I can shortcut some of the administrative work?

I spent all of my free (non-meeting) time today talking about an opportunity/problem backlog vs a solutions backlog. Too often we start with a feature then shoehorn it into a problem. This often means we don’t design the best solution for the need that’s mandated. Projects need both!
