@gilarpgs.bsky.social any chance you could make a bundle of most/all of your stuff on itch so I can pick it all up in one go? 😅

I have not once regretted building my over specced NAS, in fact, I wish hard drives weren't so expensive so I could have more storage

Man, I never realized just how strongly I'm affected by the garbage I see scrolling. It's all garbage, but AI doomerism (particularly around SWE) is so draining and depressing

This is really why I don't like large, comprehensive 'settings': it's sooooo easy to hand-wave something away into a inconsistent corner. I tend to find them more stifling than helpful in most situations

I tweaked something in my next again and it's been hurting super bad all day. No idea what I did. I hope it feels better tomorrow because it has been distracting enough that I wasn't able to focus on anything much today :(

As someone who vastly prefers simpler systems, I actually like the Storypath (Chronicles of Darkness) system's character attributes and skills. Mechanically it's still very simple (not that the rest of the system is) but does a good job at making each character feel unique

Factions are such an important part of OSR play because the OSR is full of factions that all hate each other, so we really can really imagine what it's like.

AI enhanced coding fits pretty nicely with my software engineering philosophy: It is impossible to know if code does the right thing without using it for its intended purpose. Unexecuted code is wrong code.

Look no further than the ChatGPT web app, which has not had significant innovation in at least 2 years, for a shining beacon of what 2 generations ahead in models and unlimited token spend can do to a basic harness/UI. And by that I mean be a buggy mess that doesn't do it's core task half the time

Library development is still really valuable with """agentic development""". LLMs are not good at making judgement calls on what is and isn't a good abstraction, they tend to just barf abstraction leakage all over your codebase. They're really good at writing constrained code though.

What's really funny is there's a really good chance that this gets ruled by a court that it's not legal tender because it explicitly and blatantly violates the law.

Zero AI is not happening. It’s not possible. If we don’t shift our energy to responsible AI, then we’ll get irresponsible AI and it will be partly our fault. Don’t shoot the messenger, this is just the reality.

If you want to develop a technology and improve it, the best way to do so is to find a market for it. It will happen naturally then.

AI, unfortunately, really helps me with boring shit that I can't be assed to learn how to do or fix because it's boring and just gets in the way. Like writing completion scripts. Fuck doing that. There's no good solutions, only slightly less bad ones

devs: the core part of your job, complexity management, doesn't go away just because you can filter information or generate code more effectively. Simple, modular code and good abstractions are still incredibly important.
