David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So many layers to this. I've tested the stuff but I get very little joy or sense of accomplishment doing so. So when you say its "crazy" not to use it I assume its because of the pressure to market. If there is no fun in doing something it becomes a job, and there are more well paying ones. 120
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Its the same pool of attention and money guys. Nothing in here is remotely sustainable. 0100
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 02/10/2026When you read stuff like: “Yes, AI was used to speed up the work”, it often means the whole thing went from: “I wouldn’t know where to begin” to “Look what I made” in a few days. 3162
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Eh I already have footage shot for that future video... some of it is ... 6 years+ old. I have a few unlisted video 'proofs' that are stamped 2016 too man. We completely blew the timeline on that one. 110

David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 24/09/2026No I can't hear that high, and neither can you, but the code needs to do what the TX81Z does mkay? 280
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Apparently I'm doing this thing again where I think I`ll make it simple/short and end up at the 40+ minute mark on my OPMZ tech video... 120

David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I have probes and hooks in a lot of diff machines, but the FB01 is my fav. My trusty IZE80 (STM32F4 z80 replacement) does the talking. YM2414B inside 030

David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Anyway we have a new synth that should be out Q4 that is unannounced and its slop free. So we will see. 190
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 14/07/2026The analogy I use to people around me to describe how I feel is that its like I won the mega lottery and can now buy anything I ever dreamed of. It gets old pretty fast. And You dont get _anywhere_ near the satisfaction from slop generation than coding yourself. 260
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I've tried the tools. I know what they can do very well. I could keep on bitching that I can code it all from scratch myself in 10x the time Fable takes or not, most of you wouldnt care. 130
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 14/07/2026There's a huge disconnect on social media right now. One the one hand the vast majority of you scream at hyperscalers/datacenter/Anthropic/OpenAI, but most of you still praise and get excited by all the new software that comes out. Newsflash its 90% LLM made. 161
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Recent months have been hard on my psyche a lot. Slop has essentially removed all fun and most reward from coding. I've been doing a lot of ROM dumping instead. This is where I still get my dopamine. Take that AI. 1110

David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 20/03/20263/X. As an autistic developer that enjoys quiet research and development stability the current situation is incredibly stressful. 161
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 20/03/20262/X : Its also clear to me now is that more than ever, we must strive/(continue) pursuing being the "Angine de Poitrine" of vintage chip emulations to survive the plugin slop mess that is on everyone's IG feeds. Hard work, no shortcuts. But will anyone still care in a year? 170
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 20/03/2026State of a small software business in 2026: The emails we receive are now 99% B2B AI spam. The remaining 1% are from real humans requesting a specific feature/workflow that no one else needs and no one will ever request again. 5151
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 10/03/2026You are not using it right! You need to have a web of idiots check the work of another web of idiots. Then it will give you junior level programming results. That will be 100$ please. 070
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 13/01/2026True there is obviously no "one Linux". Its anything you want it to be given time. 010
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I wouldn't lie that it can be a challenge. I needed to switch to a bunch of apps that nearly do what I'm hoping they will. 010
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I mean at this point I'm now a total zealot and want to convince everyone to leave that behind. 370
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Contemplating my first month with Linux as my daily driver. For 32 years Windows felt like home to me. It started getting less so over the years, but that feeling DRASTICALLY eroded in the last year until it suddenly felt like a fucking alien cesspool. I now call Linux my home. 4120

David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 16/12/20252/2. Each "integration" in a system requires custom hand written code, knowing the specific hardware quirks, and runs through a STM32 debug console. In short its far from a ready to go project. 110
David Viens @plgdavid.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Hey. I don't plan on making it a commercial thing that is certain. I could just drop the design and basic project on GH as open hardware but my issue is still support which would be a thing no matter how much I say or write. Its not a cycle accurate Z80 at all, and only works if you put the time. 110
