Using an LLM to code review my changes before a git push has been probably the most useful change AI has provided to my workflow.

It does find the most subtle, easy to miss things.

End of an era. Had my account since 2010.

Shame on Google for all the developer hostile changes these past few years. But sorry google, I'm not gonna doxx myself, kthxbai.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to work in an office again. The amount of times I yell at the screen per day would get me insta fired.

A palette cleanser for your timeline today: Introducing Metro!

Metro is a compiler-plugin-based dependency injection framework that draws heavy inspiration from Dagger, Anvil, & Kotlin-Inject.

So one of the things they have pirated here is the Russian translation of a zine article (>250 pages) that I wrote 27 years ago. Not the English one I wrote, just the translation some rando did.

Also a bunch of other technical books I helped in small parts too.

Me, today: Back from holidays... I guess I'll ease into it, try to keep the day chill, avoid taking complex tickets...

Me, same day, after 8 hours of bug wrestling:

After completing Dragon Age Veilguard last week (great game, amazing boss fights), I've been playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and it really slaps. They got the humor and the action just right.

Getting PTO before the kids get it next week is doing wonders for my gaming backlog 😆

Can't yet use AS Meerkat because a couple of the plugins I use a lot haven't been updated to support it while reading all your impressions

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

In case you need to let your doomscrolling self escape from the real world for a bit, highly recommend this one! (and the other games from @joerichardson.bsky.social)
🎺Death of the Reprobate is OUT NOW!!!🎺
It's a Rabelaisian ramble through Rembrandts, or - for the less pretentious among you - Monkey Island meets Monty Python! :P
Please help me spread the word about my silly game. Link below.

I trust this interpretation of what likely happened over on twitter from a technical pov from Yao Yue, who would know (thread from mastodon):

Could be totally off base here, but Twitter 2.0’s mission of becoming “the world’s most accurate real-time information source” might go better if they hadn’t just spent 6 months ripping out literally all the technology, policies, and teams required to do that.
