Agree on it being a good thing

Am I the only one who takes these “legends returns“ for a lack of innovation? Noticed that for a while in triple A gaming. I get it, companies are playing safe, but I don’t want to be sold the same th…

A farmer producing meat is a better farmer than me even if I hire my own farmer. If we invent a meta-farmer profession (for those who hired a farmer) I will be great meta-farmer, but still suck as a f…

Commit messages, comments and function names are hard to come up with, that's why we spent years to argue on maximizing value. We also learned to pay attention because we new that this particular…

All above comes at a cost of author slowly starting to understand less and less code in their own projects. Then in other projects as well. After the initial boost is over they will have to pay money …

I got emotional here as well.

Easy-to-learn and built-for-learning-good-practices are two different things; I think your point is perfectly correct but it's mostly about the second one

Humans are highly dependent on the environment; you can blame people for eating too much of highly processed food and lots of sugar, but that's what happens if all you see around is highly proces…

lmk if you ever visit Zürich :)

I agree with that 100%

I also wonder if this is so visible because a lot of people don't really care what they do and will happily use any bullshit machine to simulate work.

thinking becomes a commodity

That's a fair point for students, but as a beginner who simply wants to tinker with fun stuff, you can go very far without knowing of a program stack. I think I had the wrong audience in mind

I wonder why all these easy-to-learn languages use indentation to denote scope, not something like curly braces. Isn't it actually harder to explain?

seeing this slop landings is so tiring. It makes me not caring about potentially good product in no time

About year and a half ago I put together code review guide for human-written code to help my team speed things up and show how to operate based on trust, respect, and mutual goals; This aged well and …

been thinking about the same for a while but couldn't put this into words; thank you

what's your average battery life?

isn't that a normal timeline for critical vulnerability? Seems like paid marketing

No bindings, I wrote a few wrappers myself to make often used functions a bit more swifty, but otherwise its pretty smooth sailing

a lot of cool-looking stuff in my ECS is supported by Swift parameter packs; however, once you start using them a lot you find limits pretty soon. One example: the following wouldn't compile in s…

there is not much to brag about yet :'( About a year ago I was curious about building an ECS-based game engine with world simulations like in dwarf fortress, but obviously at much smaller scale w…

I'm currently building my roguelike in swift using c-interop with raylib - this brings me so much joy
