It is sad that now it's not about the actual craft, it is about just bragging rights. I had made a pencil sketch, someone said, i can do it too with AI. It does matter and do not give up your skill because someone with AI can also do it.
Recently attended an in-person handheld game console hackathon. I wrote a raycaster by hand. Someone wearing a “I ❤️ slop” tshirt saw mine and said “oh I wrote a ray caster too!”. They showed me. It was a ray *tracer* and claude did all the work. The person didn’t know basic graphics terms. They couldn’t answer basic questions about how it worked, could only talk about their prompting harness. Sad how AI is ruining the craft and community for people that actually like to program and have spent their lives getting good at it.

This looks awesome @DanielcHooper , I know because i started off with C for graphcis, sprites and games, where you had to save the background, bit blit the sprite and so on. The small details matter...

Well, spending nearly 44K on starbucks in the year to get that - maybe looks good but @Starbucks is not coffee - you need to taste good coffee to know the difference. #melbourne #coffee
Spent so much at @StarbucksIndia while getting work done that they gave me a metal card 🫪🥰

The captcha service from @Apple is down and failing throwing a 503 error, but the System Status site says everything is up and running... What's up Apple???

If only AI could help people build hardware projects not just software, in the last two days, I have downloaded and tried out 5-6 different MacDuo apps that use the lid sensor and animate the screen like the new iPhone Duo. I am sure all fo them are built using AI.

Hey @netflix I don’t generally comment about your shows, but watching #lockupseason2 is sickening. The contestants and the show are all scripted and 🤮if this is how the daily soaps are from this producer…. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Now I understand why the @netflix show #lockup has lost my vote, it is another Ekta Kapoor soap not a reality TV show. #Shivangi and #Harshad were pathetic!! I don’t think this should be renewed if this is the quality of how it plays out!! The show REFUSED to oust her.

Have you heard of "Terms of Venery" I coin and take my stake at that, “a Hallucination of AI” #vernery #AI #collection #group #grammar

Why does someone or @Apple not create the ability to tag photos to group them, creating albums does not work well because an image can be more than one tag.

Is the only way to contact by phone? @Saudi_Airlines There needs to be an email or other ways too. Very restrictive and unfriendly.

Dear @Optus , so IF I want to upgrade my Internet plan, I have to re-contract and on top of that I am forced to have automatic payments and supply my credit card details? After the last Data Breach I am uncomfortable, why can I not continue to pay like I do?

Hey @Apple @appleicloud What is this space required by Health app?? 1.9 GB?? All my notes and drawing on #Linea take lesser space. With so many apple devices why should we not get like 5GB per device?

Dear @Apple #health why does the health app require 2.2 GB of space on #iCloud? There is something wrong with that. This is eating up all of my space. You should offer more #FREE space especially if I have multiple devices with more than 256GB Memory. 5GB is a joke.

Thank you @Telstra for the #alumni Discount that you offered so far, it was something that signalled that you valued the time and effort we put while working there. I was not using that anymore but it’s a shame that it is closing on 1st October.

There were so many softwares earlier, anyone know an off the shelf GUI software to make quick and easy HTML based help guides like a DOCC with search bar and step by step navigation into a topic.

Hey guys in the @Apple #Watch team, thank you for having more sensible challenges, but your code mucks up and resets or removes all progress towards monthly awards. I have been seriously closing my rings and working towards the challenges. Not happy when s/w glitch mucks it up.

A new Name, a new look and feel but the same awesome team and content from @RayFromVA #RayWenderlich, now called #Kodeco
If I had known 10 years ago that our site would become the incredible team that it is today, I definitely would have named it something else :] I'm so happy that we now have a new name that can reflect all of us - welcome to Kodeco.com! kodeco.com/36641071-introduc…
