After years in tech, I can tell you I just want less: less options, less bugs, less updates, less upgrades, less frictions, less subscriptions, less new things to constantly learn to stay relevant. I'm not a minimalist but I just hit my limit.

It's 2025 and I wrote a small program (in C++) I wanted to distribute for free to help some folks. Some users are on Mac, but sadly Apple requires me to pay $99 so my free app can be run by their users! This is absolutely ridiculous.

An interesting thing about AI as a tool for developers, is that to be efficient, it needs access to source code. This is particularly true for game engines. Unity is closed source while Unreal is (non-free) open source and most models are trained on UE's code.

apparently Claude still has a hard time counting lines and can't seem to generate proper diff patches. Too bad, because it would make it even easier to apply suggestions (and revert them)

My basque nephew (21) is coming straight from Euskal Herria to visit the US for the very first time. He's staying a month with us in SoCal. What should we show him or make sure he tries/experiences?

For fun I wrote some audio DSP in C++, compiled it to wasm and loaded it in an AudioWorklet to use with a UI in HTML/JS. It was way harder than expected, I spent most of my time trying to figure out how to get things loaded/communicating/avoid allocations. But got it to work

on Friday I wrote myself a list of TODOs on Monday. Thank you past me for helping me start the week smoothly.

Biden should call Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin to help him prep for the next debate.

Nothing says European trip like a cookie consent page 😂

OH: "Rust makes me love Go"

Google's Gemini is sadly still useless and can't answer basic questions like giving me recommendations to deal with a sore throat.

Google needs fresh blood, the difference in presentation, style, demos, excitement between their keynote and OpenAI's demo is just insane!

25 years of @deadmau5 couldn't have been properly celebrated without an homage to BSOD and the legendary @steve_duda

I updated my project to Unreal 5.4 and it went smoother than expected. I had much harder times upgrading Ruby/Python/JS projects 😂

There are those who know about Dong Hua Jin Long glycine, and then there is the rest of the world.
