genuinely might have to start removing myself from public programming discords. really depressing to witness people constantly trying to convince others that just a little bit of vibecoding is actually okay, its just a tool, you should be nicer to people using AI etc etc. tired of hearing it

like not only using it but _getting upset_ when people are rightfully critical of you for using it. petulant children, throwing a tantrum because they were told they shouldn't eat candy for dinner

genuinely don't give a fuck how useful you say it is. at this point you've gotta ignore so much shit to use it and still sleep at night, like cmon man. programmers truly incapable of looking past their nose and its exhausting

the special kind of tragedy of preparing to permanently leave the UK and the best fish and chip place in brighton (imo) permanently shutting down right before I had a chance to have it one last time

sucks to reconcile trying to eat better with the ticking clock of an international move, and with the gutting of highstreets by landlords and co. how am I meant to only _sometimes_ eat out when the stuff I like is disappearing by the week riddle me this

www.bfxr.net BFXR major update. I need to spend a *lot* more time with the presets of the instruments, but I was so immediately sold by the Mixfxr tool (that just overlaps two existing synths) that I had to put it live RIGHT AWAY. Try it out!

i think a big AI hang-up i don't see people talk about is simply that i don't want to talk to a computer ever even if there was somehow a completely ethical and environmentally friendly version of it: i don't want to talk to a computer

it is so infuriating to be trying to get important information only for several government websites to have broken fucking certificates so nothing fucking loads. ngl its par for the course for the australian government to not be able to manage a fucking website

hearing someone say they use AI because it's easier to follow text instructions than a youtube video and screaming and screaming and screaming

programming discords have always been pretty dismal but now somehow they're even Worse because there's Always a guy who wants to argue the merits of LLMs for the 50th time in a week even though they keep being warned. fucking EXHAUSTING and extremely cringe

or worse "no point learning xyz because soon we won't be programming much". if you believe that genuinely just fuck off. why are you in a discord with people if you genuinely believe programming is pointless. even if you were right. leave me alone to be wrong in peace while I still can

we have to fight to keep earth habitable, but the places we can live on it already have changed, are changing. there can be no climate justice without migratory justice

been slowly watching this in bits. been very cool to see a breakdown of the custom audio tech and design for a game with such obviously careful attention to detail in its sound. cool to see sound get some attention :)

another day in "brighton car owners are insufferable". old man parks on the footpath infront of our door and idles for 10mins. then throws a fucking glass bottle out his window and runs over it. seen the same old man throwing his food scraps under other peoples cars on the same street

Please share: I'm writing an article and I want to talk to developers who have successfully transitioned out of the games industry to jobs elsewhere. What do you do now? How did you sell yourself? What skills were transferable? All disciplines welcome, my DMs are open.
