I spent the weekend wrestling with the #ziglang build system as a replacement for CMake in a C-based project, and was pleased with the result. Every build system makes big promises, and this is the first that hasn't completely broken my heart.

I've been learning #ziglang in my spare time by writing a C compiler with it. More than anything, it's showing me what my habits are, and the value of trying a new thing. The language is pretty great, too.

I left Firaxis a year ago to try something new. Today, with my co-founders Jake Solomon and Nelsie Birch, I'm proud to introduce Midsummer Studios, an independent game development studio in Hunt Valley, Maryland. www.midsummerstudios.com

Working on a card table has its charm, but it's time for an upgrade. White oak with breadboard ends. Made with mostly hand tools.

Construction has started on our new studio space! Fun fact: this used to be the bottom floor of the old Firaxis studio before they moved down the street. I started my career in these halls, and it's pretty wild to be back.

In my career as a game developer, I've never unboxed my own work computer. Or set one up for that matter. I'm sure the novelty of being this DIY will wear off, but it's fun!

I ran into a bunch of former Firaxis colleagues at lunch yesterday, and was reminded how lonely this new indie studio startup-goblin lifestyle can be. I'm enjoying this phase of the process, but look forward to working with a team again.

Signal-to-noise is much better on this web site. I haven't read a single "10 best AI tools" listicle, and @catacalypto.bsky.social's BS is everywhere. Love it.
