Just entered the magical flow state where the code writes itself and bugs flee in terror 🤩 ​Just kidding... I spent 45 minutes hunting a bug. Such is the life of an indie dev - coffee and debating whether it's me or the engine that is broken 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #programming #devlife

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @danr.bsky.social on advancing the Array.prototype.pushAll proposal to Stage 1 today at TC39 🎉 It lets you append many items into an existing array without running out of stack memory 👍 ❌ Risky: arr.push(...veryBigArray) ✅ Safe: arr.pushAll(veryBigArray)

🧪 Thinking of using fetch() streams to track upload/download progress? @jakearchibald.com shares more, and how could limit future browser optimizations. ✅ Streams = Great for parallel processing ❌ Streams ≠ Reliable for measuring up/down % Read more 👇 jakearchibald.com/2025/fetch-...

Substack's Use of #AI report from July. Some interesting #insights here. Notably, AI assistants can offer #neurodivergent folks tools to confidently interact with others in more #neurotypical styles. Also note the #age of those using AI may not be what you'd expect. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

This one is for pet parents giving #FurryBabies cosaquin to manage aches... I love to see applications of #AI that may actually benefit society. If all they achieve is keeping #pets #healthier and #happier into their later years, this is likely to be a celebrated practical application. loyal.com

I started a new hobby last November 2024 -- crocheting! This was my very 1st crochet kit -- Ted the gingerbread man -- which I completed last November 2024. 🎉 Still a newbie but also made strides in a short time -- as you'll see by the photos of the other gingerbread I created only 1 month later!

I would love to see a hot take on this from an #AI #Ethicist. youtu.be/0fPUWSv2JCI My take? He's 100% correct. And it is sad. And I don't think our society will ever recover from this. Is there any way to make #BigAI stop stealing #creative works and respect #Copyright? #Books #Authors #Rights

🧪 Follow our starter pack for a first look at our latest reporting and insights directly from the dedicated journalists behind the work.

There was this engineer on my team a while back who was: a good dev, but not the best dev. Got everything done. But had zero ego, a very nice personality, and got along with *everyone* on the team very well. When he joined, the team became... better. Nicer. More balanced.

Good #programmers will tell you that good code is written to be understood by #humans. Anyone who has maintained a large #codebase will understand that. This takes that idea back to the Specification, noting that #code is a product of the #spec. #AI #VibeCoding #Models #Dev youtu.be/8rABwKRsec4

Some say "I write the code and let the LLM write the tests", others advocate "Write the tests and let the LLM write the code". Which side are you on? #vibecoding #llm #ai #coding

This looks promising. Perhaps all of the big tech firms that are currently looking to invest in #PowerPlants to feed the power-hungry #AI machine should look in to investing in THIS technology! #Green #Energy #Sustainability #Photosynthesis youtu.be/cRg1ZVwttNU

Watched this conference presentation. She discusses source materials including an apparently pivotal #AI study and some interesting-looking #education books. Do humans have a monopoly on #creativity? #Learning #GenAI #Neuroscience youtu.be/rbTaEsieWsU

What do "The Core", "Starfield", and Earth all have in common? GIANT #CRYSTALS! This is extraordinarily cool and reminds us that A) #Science is awesome. B) Mother Nature is amazing. C) While we have MANY frontiers to explore, we still have mysteries to solve here at home! youtu.be/r743JtaHE6w

I believe this is more of a "Proof of Concept" than a "Practical Application" at this point... though you never know. 🤷‍♀️ In either case, let's hope some #Security researcher makes a few #Quantum Leaps in building better #Encryption to help keep our secrets intact. www.csoonline.com/article/3562...

Most articles about this have similar provocative titles. A couple of things to note: Sample size was 54, in 4 test groups of 18. VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE. Results were actually closer to "You engage your brain less when #AI does a task for you". #CognitivePsychology techstory.in/ai-makes-you...

I love finding a little promise to give us some hope. Promising power source that has a solid scientific basis. That multiple countries are researching it gives it more credence. #Science #Power #Thorium #GoodNews youtu.be/bz4aTO6M4Ho

"AI companies and government need to stop 'sugar-coating' what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs." THIS is why learning #AIskills is ESSENTIAL! www.axios.com/2025/05/28/a...

#AI is a disruptive influence shaping current and future job markets. This trend WILL continue to accelerate. As a pragmatist, I advocate for embracing change to remain viable in the #AgeOfAI. #HumanInTheLoop #FutureOfWork #AIJobs #TechTransformation www.airesumebuilder.com/1-in-4-compa...

I have exceptionally mixed feelings about the rise of #AI. @mattferrell.bsky.social has done a magnificent job of voicing many of my own internal debates, especially the idea of "When they fire all the humans, who will buy the things?" discussing the #JevonsParadox. #TechWorkers #TechJobs #AIEthics
