MHDante @mhdante.com · 8hI would strongly reccommend The Programmer's Brain by @felienne.bsky.social In agentic programming, it can be lost that the primary value of code is the communicating of complex ideas through precise language. This book offers strategies for managing complexity that are sorely needed in this age. 170

Reposted by MHDanteWISHLIST SKRUB SQUAD @devonwiersma.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I maintain that if your goal is to use indie dev to achieve a sustainable income flow: you should NOT be doing that and should definitely seek income from traditional means. Indie dev is one of the most competitive, labour-intensive and least practical ways to achieve sustainability. Do not do it! 1204

MHDante @mhdante.com · 18/09/2026So many of my Canadian friends refuse to consider going to MAGFest on account of being in America. Maybe it's self-interested reasoning, but I think that building connections with awesome people in America helps strengthen their resolve to fight their tyrannical, isolationist government. 010
