Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 1hSo like spec tests / behavior tests, almost back to manual validation QA just automating it with agents instead of a team of humans. I do feel there are a lot of software practices we stopped doing because of the human costs, that are suddenly viable again in some ways. 030
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 1hI opened a foil New Tactics promo from my pre-release event, and it looks SO good. Some of these also will be amazing in foil. Great job to the artists! 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Agree it’s good to be sensitive, OSS maintainers are already under so much stress and scrutiny. But also glad to have seen the response. 040
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Like you would say about listening to Magic tournament commentary when going about your life, Casual Magic has been that for me. 120
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It’s been a great companion in my life, thanks for all your work putting them together and getting them out to us! 120
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There’s so many good, flavorful cards in this one. Looking forward to what catches your eye! So far I’ve really liked Poacher’s Starfighter and Hijacked AT-ST 000
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This is the card that started my “don’t sell lands” rule 🙄😬🫥 110
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I look forward to its review, “Doll on Dollhouse Dolls” 011
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is really good! I like where you’re going with it. 011
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Thank you! “Bird’s Eye” was very good for me today. 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I got that in Europe sometimes on cell networks, saying I was in Texas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1180
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Seems to be a typo, the first two digits are swapped. 120
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You should check it out. It’s solid. 000
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This still gives me too many choices, I’ll wait for the update that will take my billing zip code into account… 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 20/09/2026So the prepared spell exists in exile, so things like Kellen, The Kid would trigger off a prepared spell. 100
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If you'd known how hard it would get, you might not have started. And even when you started you probably bit off a much smaller scope as you were figuring out what you could/wanted to do.. but sounds really great! Added to my wishlist.. 111
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It really is the upside and the downside. Sometimes you end up working on vacation, on the other hand you get to travel more because you're not tied to a location! Is there anything that makes editing/working on the road easier for you? 110
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Oh I keep misreading the first line of the card's text.. it's not "if you cast from hand" it's if you DIDN't cast from hand. 🙃 but that sounds like a memorable turn! 110
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 18/09/2026How did you get Phage into play? Just curious how the turn played out. 100
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Rebell helped me find my way to healthy competitiveness and her humor really helped me through a lot of things at a lot of times. I'm also fascinated by her perspective on strategy and really look up to her. Hoping for many more adventures to come! 020
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That's wild but also par for the course with Microsoft. For some reason you've reminded me of CueCat and I'm spiraling. 100
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Sorry, I ran out of time. I can come back. 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This thread… put a bunch of things I was dimly aware of into greater focus. And the extended conversations from people I trust (like it) .. i don’t have words but it’s a lot to sort through. So, uh, thanks. 000
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The whole course has been great but I’m particularly excited about this class. The format of “lecture with homework” is good for this material. I’ve often struggled to articulate good SLOs and SLAs to other teams, this should add more to my toolbox! 171
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This is a great example, thank you. How much different it could have been if you’d been paid a lump sum to achieve the outcome, or had been paid a portion of the cost savings… rather than a wage employ whose “position” was eliminated. ☹️ 000
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I’m imagining a bunch of ideas in a spreadsheet, and it finally came up in the list. Yay! 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 11/09/2026… does this mean that March 9 is also… Yargle day? 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I really love your perspective, and really love how this story has played out. What a great win for everyone. 001
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Granted the card pool is way smaller so the gameplay is a lot narrower… but we’re trying! I’ve heard it called “nerfherder” sometimes. 000
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Our playgroup has been promoting a Pauper-like format, we’ve settled on all-common Eternal cards for the main deck and haven’t decided on only-common Leaders or if Rare leaders are okay. So far it’s been fun and maybe half the group has decks. I’m about to build my second deck. 100
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Jacelace: replace one character name with “Jace” 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Unpaid gig in the spirit of the question: I volunteered for a science field trip for middle school kids. I would take them over to a thing where someone could go above the river in a bucket to count fish. And point out that was a real job. There are so many options. You can do anything. Be weird. 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Glad to hear the move and starting have gone well. Hoping great things for this new chapter of your life! 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 08/09/2026And that’s part of the fun! And like, the smaller deck size can be refreshing sometimes. 111
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 07/09/2026oh wow. So it'll end up just being like, something people use occasionally for screenshots. What a waste. 020
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 07/09/2026to be fair, hummingbirds are terrifyingly big when they zoom past you. Good luck with the feeder! 000
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 07/09/2026A multiplayer format like Commander, headed by a Planeswalker and a “signature spell” magic.wizards.com/en/formats/o...magic.wizards.comMTG Oathbreaker Format | Magic: The GatheringOathbreaker is a multiplayer MTG format where players build around their favorite Planeswalker. 60 card decks include 1 Oathbreaker and 1 Signature Spell. 120
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Now I want to buy a set of joycons and see what other workflows I can improve! 030
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Time for a quick domain registration! And/or a new side project… 010
Stephen Weber (mordel) @stephen-weber.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I have a bunch of my original 4th ed lands I used for prerelease and such. Makes me feel good. 001
