So far, I'm quite enjoying Mastodon - feels like Twitter in the old days, probably mostly because there's fewer people and only organic content.

Dabbling in game development again after a ~8 year hiatus. Decided to go for a third party engine for the first time. Tried the common ones: Terrified by UE, disgusted by Unity, delighted by Godot.

I find @valvesoftware's hardware products surprisingly good, not just the Index. Got myself the (discontinued) Steam Controller and I love it for games designed for keyboard/mouse. Maybe I'm just the right kind of weird for this stuff :D

"I'm a servant leader but [...]" Yeah, you're not 😅

Which is fine, do your thing. I'm just annoyed by the hippocricy in the tech industry right now. Say how you do things and be proud of it or change.
You know you're writing a workaround when the best function name you can come up with is "relentlesslyAuthenticate" :D

Is everything in Swift UI a hack? I probably spent something like two hours finding a workaround for setting the line height of a paragraph of text. Love the concept, but execution seems horrible

Wow, iOS development didn't change for the better in the last two years it seems. Today Apple randomly rejected an app I uploaded last week for internal testing. Is this for real?

Why do they have to like an app so our team can test it while it's being developed? Their vanity is beyond any reason

I'm impressed by how much a few people can get done without bureaucracy (Jira, planning and all that jazz). Had almost forgotten!

Not to say some bureaucracy and ceremonies aren't a good way to run an existing product. But I think for creating something out of nothing it just gets in the way

Wow, the Node ecosystem sure had a massive complexity explosion since I last checked. The ratio between fiddling with dozens of weird tools and their configs vs working on the actual problem makes me sad

Not as bad as the J2EE ecosystem back in the day, but apparently getting there!
One of the funniest things in tech has to be that if someone says something is "agile", it is almost always the exact opposite. I wonder if any other fields have such major buzzword misinterpretations

But I'm happy to report I didn't have to deal with that for months now :D Just stumbled across this HN thread: news.ycombinator.com/item?id…
