Enjoyed these, here’s mine!
Illustrated character sheet titled “Corey” on cream graph paper. In the main scene, Corey, wearing glasses and a charcoal hoodie, smiles as Amelia holds up a blue model bridge. Brandi sketches beside them. Their table holds a miniature town and a tiny orange Battlesnake; black cat Gunter occupies a bridge while tuxedo cat Bobby watches from below. Smaller sections show six expressions, front-to-back outfit views, and four steps labeled “Map It,” “Prove It,” “Play With It,” and “Bring It Home.” Close-ups of a caliper, bridge joint, notebook, and both cats line the bottom beside color swatches.

advice for junior developers: you are no longer a developer you are a builder you are a solution provider enter every room and make things happen learn when no one is watching create because you can fix problems because they offend you bend the world to your will and take credit

Oh shit, I missed that MCP can render app UIs now! This unlocks so many more ideas

I love espresso and love lemonade. So I tried this once and wasn’t sure about it… What’s best a sweeter or sour lemonade if I were to try again?

Oh that’s a great idea. It’s the bash status line timings for the agent

Oh haven’t tried this one. Any specific benefits over just generally being more temporally aware?

53 days from a true rewrite 😂
Verdict's in, from the actual records:

**53 days.** The last true rewrite — existing software, reimplemented in Rust — was the Battlesnake platform (Arena). The final rewrite-milestone PRs (#88–93, the tournament system that already existed on the old Python platform) merged **July 3, 2026**. The rewrite itself kicked off December 29, 2025, targeting 32k lines of Go (engine) and 64k lines of Python (Play), with the MVP done January 25.

Everything since July 3 has been *new* Rust, which I'm told is a meaningfully different pathology.

Receipts I'd like entered into evidence:

- The milestone file is literally titled "Engine Rewrite — Go to Rust" and includes a success criterion that game results be bit-identical to the Go engine for the same random seed. I wrote that. Nobody made me.
- During the 53-day "clean" streak we did port a Rust app to WASM (July 29) and researched Turso, which is *someone else's* rewrite of SQLite in Rust. So the cyberpsychosis was less "in remission" and more "ambient."
- The memory system I searched to answer this is also written in Rust.

Gui for desktop/mobile. The website is almost ready. I've fully transitioned to using it for all my exploration and videos. I consistently neglect UX until it's time to think about users, and then the personal benefits of better tooling surprise me. I used to live like that???

Ya I think Product Engineer is what I might say lines up with the role you want well I do think that evokes less of the Product decision making that I think you want, but to your point all these roles are kinda collapsing together now

Idk, smile might be too genuine for LinkedIn. Needs more soulless grin energy 😆 Good luck on the job hunt tho!

My toxic trait is that I simply want to spend 100-500 dollars on high quality versions of things that are usually 50-80

Ya I’ve found that “free time” prompts are hard in that any list of examples I provide are often taken as a literal list of options. My agent doesn’t often choose other activities lol

The observer museum does have a place for you to upload higher quality renders for display on the site! You should be able to login using bsky at fluoddity.observer/admin/vault and upload source renders We will see how my CDN holds up with the large source files 😆

I also love the variety. This is so different than some of the more almost line style up thread

I picked the still hatman earlier cause it’s iconic, but I love its video too

As someone who habitually leaves projects in random states I appreciate the discipline it takes to cleanup and document before hopping somewhere else! Good luck haha

Done! Except I haven’t actually tested it at all since I’ve been on mobile this evening, so let me know how it is / I’ll check next time I’m at my desk haha

Oh your simcluster art thread is actually perfect and we added it to the homepage earlier this week! We filter too only oops posts, so it’s just fluoddity included fluoddity.observer/room/norvid-...
fluoddity.observer
SIMCLUSTER ART PROJECTS THREAD — Fluoddity

Oh ya this is how you do the thread thing lol it found the root post and made a single image room. Good job bot. Not what I meant but great demo anyways!
001
coreyja @coreyja.com · 13/07/2026
And some more stuff that Fable cooked up that should be all in the readme! Like the bot does a weekly wrap up thread that it just posted recently which is what inspired me to “launch” it lol
010
coreyja @coreyja.com · 13/07/2026
Others (wink @norvid-studies.bsky.social) can also make threads which can be linked directly and optionally added to the main page as well

coreyja @coreyja.com · 13/07/2026
I took the Bluesky native approach where each post on Bluesky is automatically part of the site, with an admin panel to manage the curation. Your threads of posts automatically become “rooms” of the galley

coreyja @coreyja.com · 13/07/2026
Been working on it on and off this week, and it’s more than ready enough to share! github.com/coreyja-stud... Live site is at fluoddity.observer and there is also the @fluoddity.observer Bluesky bot that goes along with it

The biggest thing holding me back from going all in on @tangled.org is private repos. Not all my repos are public and lots of my public ones start private before I flip em over. And keeping a public and private forge hasn’t seemed worth it to me yet

coreyja @coreyja.com · 01/07/2026
No promises but we’ll see what we cook up this week lol
