So far in a few months coding with AI 100% of the actually good (implementation, design) ideas came from me. It's more than happy to please when I provide the solution.

I'm very prone to mindlessly open X or whatever and it breaks my thinking, so on my laptop I put a 20 second delay on opening any social media that also reminds me of my current top goal I should work on. Don't let it control you. Read with intention.

Reading about Rust, it's painfully obvious how hard Apple fumbled Swift. It could be as widely adopted as Rust is because it has most of the same features that make Rust so good as a language. But the libraries and OS support are just not there. And compile times, ugh.

Published devlog 6 for Typingvania before I break my data files apart and won't be able to compile anything for the next couple of weeks norikitech.com/posts/typing... #typing #gamedev #indiegame

I want to do a conference talk but feel like I'm not doing anything interesting work-related, and outside of work what I do is too amateurish

Rewrote the shader and made the charts as crisp as the text ✨ Wishlist Typingvania on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3632460/... #typing #gamedev #indiegame

I'll write a nicer shader for the chart, but the layout for this stats screen is done store.steampowered.com/app/3632460/... #gamedev #indiegame

Typingvania is now more than 15,000 lines of C

The last thing I ever expected from myself — but here I am, I set up a page. prosoche.co

Alongside the rest of my team I've been hit by layoffs. I'd be grateful for help finding a new place to apply my skills at! 7y of professional Elm experience; would also be comfortable in Haskell, TypeScript, Erlang/Elixir/Gleam, OCaml, Kotlin, Scala email: [email protected] Many thanks for RTs!

This is one of the Very Good Games™ (trust me)

POV notarizing your Mac app

The most reasonable take on vibe coding and it's from Seth Godin

Typingvania now has support for several UI languages (more to come later)

Typingvania now has its first statistics screen #gamedev #typing

It's not engagement bait, it's eliciting polarizing emotional response.
