Working on another game but now a Space RPG (TUI Edition) with narrative driven by AI. Inspired by Net Hack from back in the day. Sprites are generated in real time via MCP and Aseprite.

Wanted to learn the Cloudflare Stack (Workers + Durable Objects + Queues), best way is to build something so I made a fun little game.. veilstrike.xyz

How is everyone doing?

I believe in this so hard I also believe in the converse: if you know a little stuff and are talking to someone who knows a lot about that stuff, you should also make a real effort to take the opportunity to learn more from them!

Thinking without words? Interesting research on using non-word vectors to represent "thoughts" in LLMs for chain-of-thought reasoning. benjamincongdon.me/blog/2024/12...

One cool way I use ChatGPT tasks: Deliver 5 new tech words, definitions and pronounce them each morning.

Kubernetes The Hard Way has been updated. I've also resolved most of the open issues and pull requests as I set the stage to add support for both ARM64 and AMD64, making the project compatible with both CPU architectures while continuing to be cloud provider agnostic. github.com/kelseyhighto...

AI agents aren't magic. There is a reason the code we write today doesn't scrape HTML pages and uses APIs instead. AI agents are no different. Agents still need an API to interact with and permission to do so. Sure, they can generate a client, then guess what to do next, but good luck with that.

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

It is sad to hear of a beloved open-source maintainer with such a great community rallying behind him. I hope @github.com keeps this repo around in his name forever. github.com/tteck/Proxmo...

Some people label things they don't understand as being too complex. When you ask them what they are doing instead, their answers are often as complex, with one major difference. They understand it.

It's the weekend, baby

I loved being on the Ship It show - changelog.com/shipit/126. @justingarrison.com and Autumn made it so easy to just feel like I was being as nerdy as I could be with my friends. Come for the spicy hot take, stay for my pitch on why now is the time for you to take on transforming our industry. :)

What @kelseyhightower.com said.. Microservices vs monoliths doesn't matter. Write modular code, abstract away services into reusable components, and combine them into one or more artifacts based on your needs.

Hey, fans of @tailscale.com, ... you should go to our first ever user conference: https://tailscale.dev/up I'm even going! I'm leaving the house! I'm abandoning my kids! See you in SF.
