I'm learning #Godot for the first time this weekend! And it feels SO much like... Visual Basic! Which is where my programming/gamedev journey started, all those many years ago... #powerupjam #gamedev

Everyone can tell you used AI to do it. They just aren't saying anything about it because they want to be polite. (Do you know someone who needs this thought to pop unbidden into their head?)

“We need more police officers; there are jobs going there too.”

According to Stats NZ, the unemployment rate for 15 to 19-year-olds in New Zealand in the June 2026 quarter was 25.3%.

I was initially pleasantly surprised with #Xero's automated file-to-bill pipeline using #AI - it looked good. And then as I dug in further, I realised that's all it was - it _looked_ good, but I spent much longer reviewing the output, doing workarounds, fixing errors, and redeveloping context - […]
