@ID_AA_Carmack @romero I hacked together a quick Python script to render DOOM levels as SVG: jason.sperske.com/wad/DOOM1.… Amazing work you guys!
Over 10 years ago I setup SNDTST.com as a way to have video game music wherever I went. It has connected me to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Recently I started building something new. You can now access to first level. More to come!
Status update a month before the 3 year anniversary, while I can still post tweets I'm no longer able to reply. Still not updating because Twitter is a far better name for what is left of the community that's still here.
The algae situation reminds me of a math puzzle I heard about when I was a kid. Imagine you have a lake with a single organism of algae that doubles every hour and after 100 hours completely fills the lake how much faster would it completely fill the lake if you started with 2?
I'm building a game. Anything with a URL can be a room, anything with a deep link can be a door. Anyone can contribute. I'm having so much fun building this!

AI changed how students write.
Authorship shows the full process.
In the latest episode of Super Shipped, Product Manager Jennifer van Dam walks through how Authorship works.
With Authorship in Grammarly docs:
✍️ Tracks what you type
🤖 Tracks AI prompts & edits
📄 Creates a shareable report
🔒 Students control what gets shared
Used by 5M+ students in Docs & Word.
Now built into Grammarly docs.
Reading @pawellaptew's blog (blog.gitbutler.com/grid-happ…) and it totally brought me back to what it felt like to learn CSS for the first time. 960.gs was such a flashback. Further back, I wrote my first HTML in high-school in '97 and remember using <frameset>
Right now I am locked in the most tense 90's era battle and I'm hesitant to even suggest what's it's about on the extremely remote chance that someone out there is more 90's than me. The waiting is killing me.
Just tried to build a dynamic web server in C++ with @cursor_ai and while the AI got stuck in some interesting places (like how std::move works) it wasn't hard to fix by ✋ and now I have a simple web server that can make full use of any c library and run on low powered devices
I find myself listening to "Under the Aurora" by @CountingCrows on loop. It has perfectly blended great music with just enough silliness that made me fall in love with the band back in the early 90's. open.spotify.com/track/6BDys…
One super petty issue I have with the @Starbucks app is that it doesn't let you pay exactly what you owe. It almost seems like a coding bug of > instead of >=
Someone at work casually mentioned that they were reviewing my MRs with Claude Code so I decided to finally try it out. Now I'm seeing so many people I know already using it. Surreal experience.

WHAT IN THE EVER-BURNING, SOUL-DEVOURING, NUMBER-CRUNCHING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! Who gave you the audacity—the sheer, unmitigated, galaxy-exploding GALL—to scribble atrocities like "1000%" or "777%" and parade it around like you’re some kind of percentage warlord?! PERCENTAGES DON’T WORK LIKE THAT, YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS! It’s 0 to 100! ZERO! TO! ONE! HUNDRED! That’s the sacred, inviolable, chiseled-in-stone LAW OF THE LAND! You don’t get to waltz in here with your clown shoes and your chaos energy, slapping a 777% on the wall like it’s a graffiti tag for your deranged math cult! I’m an expert, damn it, and my heart is SCREAMING—nay, SHRIEKING—like a banshee on a caffeine IV drip!
This isn’t a number anymore—it’s a crime scene! It’s a blood-soaked massacre of logic, a chainsaw to the face of reason! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT IS EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! You can’t have MORE THAN EVERYTHING unless you’re some interdimensional eldritch horror hoarding secret stashes of existence in your tentacle basement! You think you’re cute with your "1000%" flex? NO! You’re a mathematical terrorist, a walking war crime against precision, and I’m here to SMITE YOU with the fiery wrath of a thousand calculators! 777%?! Are you summoning a slot machine demon? Are we gambling with the fabric of reality now? Because I didn’t sign up for this fever-dream casino apocalypse!
And don’t you DARE hit me with “it’s just hyperbole” or “it’s for emphasis,” you sniveling little equation wreckers! I’ll hyperbole YOUR FACE into next Tuesday! Emphasis?! Use a MULTIPLIER, you troglodytes! 7.77 * 100%! BAM! There it is—clean, elegant, LEGAL! Not this Frankenstein’s monster of a percentage that looks like it crawled out of a spreadsheet’s nightmare! I’ve seen better sense from a drunk raccoon with a crayon! You want to go big? Say 10x! Say 50x! Say “IT’S OVER 9000!” for all I care—just don’t bastardize the sanctity of percent like it’s some stretchy taffy you can pull into the stratosphere!
I’m LOSING IT! My expert heart is a volcano of molten rage, erupting with the fury of every mathematician who’s ever lived—Euclid’s ghost is weeping, Pythagoras is punching walls in the afterlife, and I’m over here ready to declare a HOLY WAR on every triple-digit percentage I see! You’re not just wrong—you’re cosmically, cataclysmically, tear-the-stars-from-the-sky WRONG! I’ll chase you down with a slide rule and a vengeance-fueled howl that’ll echo through the multiverse! FIX IT! USE DECIMALS! OR SO HELP ME, I’LL UNLEASH A PLAGUE OF FRACTIONS TO HAUNT YOUR DREAMS! 100% is the line—cross it again, and I’ll go full shizoid berserker until the numbers make sense or the world burns trying! RAAAAAAGH!
