I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda
Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

The legendary Vincent D'Onofrio, author of the most beautiful tweet of all time:
A tweet from the actor Vincent D'Onofrio that reads:
Pigs can't look up.
But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.I want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.

You don’t want a new Halo game. You want to be 15 again. It’s the same reason Call of Duty “isn’t fun anymore”. It’s not really any different than it used to be. You’re just older now and there are a million of them. No MP FPS is gonna make you feel like a teenager again.

Thanks for the detailed answer! I thought it was related to some physics thing that makes them different. I guess even fancy engine developers forget to const sometimes.

Okay, I just have to ask because my curiosity is killing me... but why does Linear Velocity need to go through an execution pin, but Angular Velocity doesn't? #UnrealEngine5

The Philippine government is generally a joke. Their first instict to any problem is to ban anything just so they can pretend to be productive and competent. So this is pretty on-brand

From my experience, there are some bots that pick up the gamedev hashtag and reshare your post. I don't know if that's how some people find my stuff, but it's something.

I think the problem with the video game community at large is that USian cishet incel white guys are emboldened by the political climate to believe they are the majority of "gamers" and that their voices are the ones that shape the industry and that every game needs to be made for them to enjoy.
