The best writing habit experienced developers can build is every time you spend an expectedly long time figuring something out, don't move on! Write about it. If it was interesting & confusing to you, others will find it interesting & valuable too.

Tickets are up for the next Software You Can Love conference in Vancouver! mattnite.net/blog/sycl-20...

I’ve finally done some reading into atproto and I love it. One thing though, what about private content? Like DMs or stuff you only want friends to see. Is this out of scope for the protocol, or coming in the future?

physics is back in the new renderer. All thats left is bringing animations and UI back online. and I daresay i might be ready to start making a game #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Zig Build System Basics for those who have not yet grokked the Zig build system. https://youtu.be/jy7w_7JZYyw

Attempted this 3 times but settled on an api I can stick with. Video shows animations on the player controller with the old system snapping between animations and the new system which smoothly blends between This is a custom game engine written in zig #zig #indiedev #gamedev

Sometimes I wonder what's the end game of all this automation and AI. (Assuming it works) We could all get food and housing and live a life. Or... it's ends up with elon musk playing factorio while the rest of us are playing as the bugs. (And his copper to iron ratio would probably be shit.)

Had some thoughts on how to build out self-hosted backends for Zig: mattnite.net/blog/self-ho...
