Snapshot of my similar post over on LinkedIn, where I'm a bit more succinct and cover a bit more ground. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... I also realize it's nearly 5 PM on Friday (worst possible time to do this), but well that's just how these things go. 🤷

"Si tu as de la vaisselle à faire et qu'après tu peux aller te poser, tu vas vite la faire, mais si tu as de la vaisselle à faire de façon infinie, quel intérêt de la faire rapidement ?" - Mon fils à son patron qui lui reprochait son "manque de dynamisme au travail"

The relationship of the Wylers on The Diplomat is to couple relationship what Lamb is to management.

Il y a 10 ans, je sortais par la porte de derrière du Dude barricadé, rue St Maur, pour aller chercher, la peur au ventre, celle qui était ma femme à gare de Lyon. Je pense à ceux qui n'ont pas eu la chance de se retrouver ce soir-là. #FluctuatNecMergitur

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm being interviewed for positions I apply for or if I'm just giving consulting advices on recruitment, tech roadmapping and team organisation for free.

new blog post: I also wrote about "metroidbranias". Surely if enough of us write about how we dislike a term, people will stop using it? That's how it works, right? blog.vbuckenham.com/database-gam...

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

The good thing about this stupid James Bond interview is that I've dug out an Anthony Horowitz story from my books-from-my-childhood-bookshelf, a very good one.

I think about this a lot.

The ambiant soundtrack of the Climbing Place is the OST of Severance and it's really fitting to my feelings of being here.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

On Sunday the 23rd, the "Depression Dream Team" from @thepixelhunt.bsky.social and @wednesdays-game.bsky.social will be giving a talk about the delicate art of making depressing games! And that's just one of the many fascinating (and hopefully not too depressing! 😉) talks we'll be hosting! #AdvX25

I! LOVE! INTERACTIVE! FICTION!!!

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Va falloir répéter le message plus fort pour ceux du fond parce que la servitude volontaire c'est un délire

Si vous connaissez quelqu'un qui loue un appart d'au moind 30m2 pour 1200€/mois maximum dans l'est de Paris intra-muros, c'est _le_ moment de me faire signe. (il va sans dire que les avis non-sollicités de provinciaux seront très mal reçus, ceux qui connaissent ma situation comprendront)

je sais pas vous mais moi les fictions télévisuelles autour du Bataclan c'est no way josé (et j'imagine bien pour ceux *vraiment* directement concernés)

Tech bros: we have made AGI skeptics: you fucked up perfectly good machine learning is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Faut vraiment jamais donner aucun pouvoir à personne. (actuellement dans un bus avec 4 controleurs)

A guy who's a close friend where it's never been weird before but one day when the two of you are walking somewhere he gets really serious and quiet and keeps looking over at you and then eventually he goes "can I ask you something"

That's probably more of a LinkedIn post, but I think there's something to say about Lamb's management techniques in Slow Horses where he is at the same time the absolute worst and the very best manager of a dysfunctional team I've ever seen.

Still one of the most insane tweets of all time

Tout à l'heure, à 19h30 sur twitch.tv/lileenu, on brainstorme le thème du Concours de cette année : le train ! C'est animé par @smwhr.net et c'est ouvert à tous ceux veulent jouer ou écrire de la fiction interactive en 2026 !

The "shitposter thought" I'm referencing:

I'll cautiously say I've noticed more skepticism about AI in the corporate world and it's mostly because people's coworkers are creating extra work for them. They don't have the vocabulary to describe it yet but it's basically the "Why should I read what you couldn't be bothered to write" thing

One of the biggest lie/mistake/fallacy of growing up as a millenial was that knowledge and culture and science would set us all free. And here we are, the dumbest mfuckers won all the seats, are in charge everywhere doing stupid shit destroying the world. But let's not give up on knowledge, please.

I just discovered I have a "Watch Later" playlist on Youtube that contains a single video of a commercial for Neutrogena starring Vanessa Hudgens published fifteen years ago.

Ce soir à partir de 19h45, l'équipe de @blacktabbygames.com fête les deux ans de leur visual novel Slay the Princess sur leur chaine Twitch. Pour l'occasion, @filiaa a décortiqué la structure du jeu dans un article www.fiction-interactive.fr/slay-the-pri... #InteractiveFiction

The cure for burnout is a vacation, not pretending to take a vacation and preparing a presentation about it for clout. Also —

The 2025 Interactive Fiction competition ended this weekend, with results being posted. I wanted to list my favorite games I played out of it – even if you haven't been paying attention, I think you owe it to yourself to try these. azhdarchid.com/the-2025-int...

It's very annoying that I'm not tired when it would be optimal to be.

The Diplomat wants so much to be The West Wing they made C.J. President of the US and Josh her husband.
