why is there a "w" in answer?

Hello Bluesky. First time posting here! #gamedev

Bit of a slap in the face to have to pay for an apple dev account when they already have a monopoly on the app store... 😔

I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

Any time I start reading a new game development book, the words pop into my head using the voice of Goofy's narrator... youtu.be/rdBYmk4dfLE?...

EA being privately sold to saudi arabia for 52 billion dollars was not something I expected to read today

My thesis for lostness vs fun in #gamedev. Silksong and Animal Well spend most of their time in "where tf am I (good)", but it's a very risky game. Rain World was great, but it did nudge me into "where tf am I (bad)" a little too often for my taste.

Tried drawing PixelArt for practice. Feedback appreciated! Made in the limited palette/low-res style of pico8 and beep8. #GameDev #PixelArt #IndieDev #IndieGames #pico8 #IndieGameDev #beep8 #MinimalArt

Did u guys see the Tesla robot video? I think it's dying

Doom debugging, its like doom scrolling but you just keep trying one thing after another to fix a bug and at some point you should really stop but you can't 😭

Being a high school teacher at St. Apa looks hard. Especially when others are visiting. Chapter 3, part 3 is halfway done! Many new features are coming to exploration mode. #visualnovel #indiedev #indiegamedev #gameboy #indiegame

I fear all we are witnessing is both a technology & political Singularity. It's not even religion behind it. It's fuedalism. A system of oligarchy using religious superstition to hold power Tell me any of this is wrong #TrumpWorld

The Real Reason Most Indie Games Flop (It Has Nothing To Do With Gameplay) Despite a boom in high-quality game development, most titles go unnoticed due to oversaturated platforms and outdated launch strategies. This article draws parallels with film and music to highlight how d… #hackernews #news

This time I'm going to learn probability and stats for real for real www.practiceproblems.org/course/Proba...

Nostr is not "immutable and verifiable" The lack of true, trustless verifiability is why I think Bluesky's approach with the PDS model is more robust.

I hear elon musk makes all his h1b's wear electrified chastity belts 😨

Somebody pushed up hundreds of lines of Tailwind CSS into our codebase. We don't have Tailwind in our codebase. I love working on large teams on the age of LLMs

AI helped with alot of the busy work and now my job is sitting around thinking about hard problems... AI made my job harder! 😠

Can AI hurry up and take my job already? 🙄 Work sucks 😭

Learning a new programming language with AI editors is hard, the autocomplete prevents you from getting in the reps you need 🤔 This might be a problem for younger devs.

Remember the deepseek AI panic? 🤣

AI is revolutionizing work in [undefined space]!

Adding multiplayer in Unreal: Step 1: enable replication Step 2: regret every line of code you've ever written

Sure. Stackoverflow has done their survey several years running. The SWE profession is fragmenting. Developers are coming out of training in one of these clusters. And the clusters have a fairly distinct set of languages and stacks.

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

useEffect infinite loops are fun! 🤪

Still continually shocked at my inability to estimate how long features will take to implement. Thing I've dreaded for months are knocked down in days and "simple" features can drag on and on somehow require refactors all over the codebase.

Too Much Contrast To Handle #programming #frontend #ide #html #webdevelopment https://programmerhumor.io/frontend-memes/too-much-contrast-to-handle-x7lr

I always feel guilty about not doing enough "work" on Mondays. But really sitting and thinking hard about the problems I'm going to solve later this week is work... 🤔

PHP turns 30 today! 🐘🥳 My story with PHP started about 25 years ago, when I was 13, coding a guestbook 😅 When did you join the party?

I need to learn how to control what cursor sends as context to the prompts. That must be the secret to successfully using a code editor. dev.to/grwgreg/deta...

Imagine all the security vulns these "vibe coders" are introducing to the world... 😂 😔

I need to learn more prompting techniques for extracting text from large text documents. hackernoon.com/llm-superpow...

Setting up Redis was easy. Understanding why it's full of stale keys 3 days later? Not so much. 🤷

Just shipped craft.tattoo 🎉 It's a tattoo design tool to help you visualize your tattoo ideas in multiple styles. Check it out!

This feed is a pretty good replacement bsky.app/profile/eeoo...

Where'd the software feed go? 😨

All my tests pass… because I wrote them after the code. Agility 🧘‍♂️

A question for the AI fans out there: Where do I get started hooking AP up to a repository to have it write code? Context: I'm planning on doing a test to get *real work* done. I want to use each major AI model to do a simple task: analyze a project and write unit tests for it. #AI #Programming

I'm getting _realllllly_ tired of the "Vercel built and pushed RSCs just to make money off servers" conspiracy theory. it comes up in basically every discussion thread about RSCs at this point. Genuinely don't know how to convince people otherwise. It's beyond a meme.

Building side projects is just learning the same lesson about scope creep over and over in new and exciting ways 😔

Minimize Elon Musk Surf is a whole lot more than just filtering out politics (for reasons such as weekend hobbies and stuff), but their setting to minimize Elmo cracks me up every single time.
