Every recent update of #vscode is filled with improvements to their AI coding agent services. It makes me wonder what cool things we could have had by now if developers weren't being redirected from their normal work to improving the way that we make AI slop.

I've been out of the audio mixing scene for a few years, but a good friend of mine hit me up about helping with his project earlier this year. I'm very excited to begin sharing the album soon!! #audio #diy #piano #recording

Seeing my fellow open source programmers push out vibe-coded AI programming still leaves a terribly bitter taste in my mouth. 🤢

Although I love my base M4 Mac Mini, the 256GB storage really starts to hit when every SDK I need to install is 20GB+. 😮‍💨 #zephyr #m4macmini

Just finished publishing a Python API wrapper library for Cap, a really nice self-hosted open-source alternative to Google ReCAPTCHA. Simple, but works! github.com/relic-se/cap... #captcha

My #circuitpython drum machine has been coming along nicely, and I figured it's time to show off some of the new features. Can you tell which meows are real and which are fake? 😹

Was inspired by the recent Doom on Neo Geo video by @modernvintagegamer.com to get some raycasting working on the @adafruit.com #fruitjam using #circuitpython. Runs about 3 fps on real hardware! github.com/relic-se/Fru...

Y'all, the BlueSCSI V2 is awesome! Using the Toolbox software is a total game changer when working with Mac's HFS formatting and multiple CDs. #powerpc #bluescsi #powermac

Picked up an old PowerPC 7500/100 Macintosh from the thrift store for next to nothing. Fingers crossed it works 🤞 #macintosh #powerpc

New feature in the latest CircuitPython Show podcast episode. It was great speaking with Tim, Dan and Paul! Now, if I could only get back to making more games... www.circuitpythonshow.com/@circuitpyth...

Coming Monday on a new episode: Three former guests, @cogliano.bsky.social, @foamyguy.bsky.social, and @dcdalrymple.com, return to the show and share their advice, tips and tricks for developing apps, games, and screensavers for the Adafruit Fruit Jam. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts.

Went to the theater to watch the Mario movie last night. Of course I had to go to the restroom and miss the most important part of the movie... the Pikmin!! 😭

As a new Mac user coming from Linux, I have a lot of gripes, and I've learned to adapt around most of them. BUT there is one thing that I absolutely despise! If I use Cmd+Q to quit an app, DON'T ASK ME IF I'M SURE THAT I WANT TO QUIT! Or worse, require that I hold it down. 😡

New episodes coming your way over the next five weeks with guests including Adafruit's @johnpark.bsky.social, students from @gallaugher.bsky.social's Physical Computing course at Boston College, and a panel discussion about developing for the Fruit Jam. Find the show wherever you get your podcasts.

Been improving my digital effects pedal designs lately. So far, I've got an audio codec, line-level preamp, and isolated power regulator (oshwlab.com/dcdalrymple/...) alongside a new #circuitpython library to go along with the codec (circuitpython-tlv320aic3204.readthedocs.io). More info soon!

Jammin' with my #circuitpython drum machine running on @todbot.com 's #synthiota 🥁

Been playing around with @todbot.com's synthiota. Check out my attempt at a "Drone" synth! youtu.be/6oZ6IUpAfgI?... #circuitpython #synthiota #raspberrypi

First boot of #circuitpython on the Thumby Color! 🌈

I've got my first YouTube livestream planned for tomorrow morning to build the Synthiota. Come say hi! youtube.com/live/xke2lT1...

Work on the Fruit Jam has been really fun this year, but I'm looking forward to making it an even better platform for community developers to create and share their work (games, music, etc). On the hardware front, maybe I'll finally figure out I2S input... #CircuitPython #CircuitPython2026
