DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 27/09/2026Inconsistent responses for the same data, AND still having massive extraneous resource usage. Management just kept pushing for new stuff regardless of the cost, and we ended up with trash at the end of everything. LLMs just exasperate that issue because management doesent understand the code 150
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 27/09/2026I ended up going on a 3 month medical leave (for unrelated reasons to leaving) after that, and learned later that while I was gone, another member of the team had to go in and rip it being returned everywhere out of the code because the server usage 10Xed, so now we had the worst of both worlds. 160

It was SO expensive, and I wanted to only return it if requested by GQL. Exactly what GQL excels at, but my manager overruled me, and made me add it to EVERY response. 150

DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 27/09/2026I dont think the sites running like shit is "the fault" of LLMs. I think its a consequence of, for a long time now, companies/management pushing engineers more and more and more to design just kindof shit software to get the product out the door.

DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 12/09/2026bulk posting a few at once, once a day or so should be fine, but its also possible that spam posting can drive people away from engaging with your stuff.

DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 02/09/2026@salmence.bsky.social you should link your YT vod channel on your twitch. Its easy enough to get to because you link it on your YT, but it would make it a bit easier. 100
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 28/08/2026Css starts out as the easy part, and some oof it is great. And then you realize, oh. CSS is the hard part for a reason when you finally get into it. You can do utter MAGIC with css if you really know the ins and outs well enough. 060
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 28/08/2026The phrase "uses a ton of tools with gen-ai built in" is iffy to me. Ex: I program with vscode. it has gen-ai tooling built in, against my will. Its unfortunately become unavoidable unless you are programming with vim etc. The phrasing just feels iffy on this? Intentionally hyper-inflammatory? 100
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 24/08/2026And this is a perfect example of why she is a terrible replacement to Verres to run the department. Being a manager requires people skills. She has close to none. She pushed the entire gang AWAY, instead of building a repertoire with them. Now Tedd is hiding things instead of sharing them. 070
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 22/08/2026You will also probably end up programming 3 separate games, write and hoste your own website or SAAS product, break all but 2 of your hard drives, and love every single second of it along the way. You will likely also never actually learn hugo. Too many other fun things. (all good. it happens) 040
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 21/08/2026Honest opinion, this just feels like two artist who made similar decisions around the typography kerning/keming and used a similar font style.

DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 18/08/2026They have a subtle beauty to them. I love this style of thumbnail and it only gets compounded when the FoM art style & feel comes in to play 000
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026Be that bots like streamlabs/elements/nightbot, or people using boting accounts to harvest chats. Twitch does a LOT to prevent bots, but its always an arms race, and theres not much you can do to prevent it. 020
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026So largely, I suspect the major AI companies are all holding each other accountable at-least a little bit, and making sure that no-one draws down the wrath of government regulation upon them all. That said, The thing I would be more worried about there would actually be 3rd parties harvesting data. 120
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026While Id like to think that 1 alone would be enough for twitch to not break trust again, IMO amazon themselves dont care about twitch as profitable anymore. its all a datasource. so that's... hard. That said, 2 is a big ticking time bomb. The moment ONE company screws up, EVERYONE is impacted. 120
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026And this is the long term consequence of twitch loosing trust as a platform. To answer the question: Currently, every platform is adding these controls for two reasons. 1: to maintain SOME sense of community trust (even if only a little bit). 2: to try to stave off regulation 130
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026This is why you have to be incredibly careful when reading and listening to statistics. Not all statistics are lies, but many people will lie using them. (That said, don't take this as permission to ignore stats you don't like. just because you don't like it doesent make it untrue in some sense.) 010
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026Foo as a good thing, they say "95% of regular streamers do foo" where they define *regular* as some rediculously high hour per week number. In the opposite case: "only 2% of all streamers do foo" could be used to deminish the number, but *all streamers* was anyone who streamed in the last 2 YEARS! 110
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 17/08/2026About my recent rt: this is something that I saw on the regular at twitch. People (execs etc.) would be very specific in the statistics they picked to prove their point. Let's pretend that the more someone streams, the more lilely the are to do thing foo. If the executives want to show... Cont. 110
Reposted by DeefDragonBoop @boopcat.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder.

DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 15/08/2026The only difficulty with this is learning what to search/look up from what you dont know. Its very possible you accidentally go down the wrong path and end up with something MORE complex than less when breaking the problem space down. Still, its very possible to learn on your own, given motivation. 020
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 15/08/2026Honestly? Decide on doing a interesting project. Look up how other people did similar projects. Find a detail you are confused about. Look up how that thing works. Repeat steps 3-5 until you get to something you DO understand. Crawl back up that chain repeating over and over. You have now learned. 120
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 15/08/2026As an X-Twitch engineer: Yes. this is likely VERY true. At any all-hands that it was brought up while I was still there, the overwhelming opinion (atleast as I was seeing) was that it was NOT a good idea and most IC's (individual contributors, aka base staff) didn't want to implement it. 0876

DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 13/08/2026The biggest thing is to make sure that it gets handled gracefully in situations like this. Not send an update to undo a settings change on a reload for example. I think if you had given it a minute, the setting would have shown up as changed just fine. 100
DeefDragon @deefdragon.deef.tech · 13/08/2026Its a well known computer science problem known as eventually consistency, and its the reason that you sometimes see a stream title get changed, but it not actually update in the UI. Its unfortunately largely unavoidable when at the scale twitch etc. is. Tho it can be mitigated. 100
