Call for help to all mobile / #web experts! I am trying to make a setup video to enable people to use a tablet for web development (As I suspect most people interested in this would be web developers)
But I hit a major block, I can't find a way to use chrome dev tools, if anyone can help let me know

Seeing if I can replace my laptop entirely with a tablet, seems promising with #GitHub #Codespaces, might make a video on it on my content account @virtualpaper.bsky.social

Can't wait for the new #Hearthstone expansion to drop in a few hours, just hope to see some more variety other than imbue paladin

Hello World! Hope everyone is having a nice and lazy Sunday!
Going to take a break from all projects to spend time with family, play some #hearthstone.
What do other developers do on Sunday? Do you have a designated lazy day?

I'm thinking about making a small Python app for myself to cross post to

- X
- BlueSky
- LinkedIn
- Facebook

Going to make it free and open source, would anyone be interested in a tool like this?

It's been a while.
I am planning on starting on some projects soon and posting some updates. Just fun stuff, nothing that I think I will sell.

Have a great day everyone!

One of my favorite creators have made one of those posts that you hope to never see, especially to never experience. Details is in the gofundme if you can help, I know 5 USD isn't cheap

Started studying for my first AWS cert, made my AWS account, and added like 3 different billing alerts to go to my personal and work email.

AWS billing stories are damn scary...

Been a while, here is a picture of my setup and a quote to go with it

"A program is only as good as the code inside it." — Anonymous

Guess how much of this was made by AI 😂

Going to Dox myself a bit. I live in South Africa, we have load shedding ( scheduled power outages)My power was supposed to be on an hour ago, it's like they knew I was planning on working the second it came online.

My first hour of work is always my best and sets my tempo for the day :(

As a self taught developer who joined the workforce before ChatGPT was announced even, I can understand why people might be sceptical of hiring self taught developers in the vibe coding (vc) day and age.

Read some horror stories of CS Grads vc as well.

I'm just sceptical of everyone now really.

Ditching caffeine is one of the hardest things I've done but I was drinking 2-3 energy drinks daily. Today I'm one week free, tea has been a great help

Does anyone know of good in-depth guides on using the Unity UI Toolkit? I know I can read the docs but I am hoping there is someone who already did that for me :D

Where do you fellow game devs believe the Game Design Document (GDD) belongs, and is it applicable to every team and size you have worked on? How do you use it during the games production? Does it help keep the game focused?

Really curious and excited to hear your thoughts

Now I have 32GB Ram (The 4GB soldered got ignored, fair enough) PC feels so much faster!!
February 19, 2025 at 10:47 AM
12GB Ram is no longer doing the job with my day job and with massive docker containers. (2x 4GB sticks and a soldered 4GB)

Super excited to upgrade to 2x 16GB sticks this weekend.

Just having work apps open and a browser is making me go into swap memory.

I said I was taking a break today from Game Dev Work, next thing I know I am elbow deep in building the second mechanic, and now things are happening.

This stuff is addictive.

So grateful for almost hitting 50 followers, going to give a little teaser on my project. I am working
with the super talented artist @ziireynak.bsky.social , making our first indie game. Very much still downloaded placeholder assets but coding is going well. "Soon" I will leak some footage

I'll be honest, I use ChatGPT in game development. I haven't worked in Unity in 3 years so the references is helpful especially with the heavy math stuff. (Did a in code animation)

I am learning how to do these things myself slowly but surely. My goal for next mechanic is no AI help.

Got 3 hours of dev done tonight, pretty proud since it's a work night.

Refactored for 2 hours and got in a new mechanic that I'm very excited about.

It doesn't look good enough to post yet but it feels pretty good on testing.

Have to say, picking up my game Dev but actually having a good friend to do it with makes it so much more fun. Even the boring stuff is not that bad. #Gamedev

To all the indie devs with full time jobs and a partner that lives with them. How do you manage your time without neglecting your responsibilities? What does your schedule look like? I'm struggling a lot to find a balance.

Funny looking back at an old project (for reference) and seeing how over engineering is actually just bloating and technical debt cause you don't need 90% of the junk.

Build as needed, otherwise you'll make a mess in most cases.
