I kind of feel like G+ got this right the best. It was great being able to subscribe to a circle of pixel artists, chili cooks, whatever niche etc.

For me the golden age of social media. Lots of niche hobby discussion and not a lot of noise.

I work in an industry where F# is a non-starter but I still love to use it outside of work. Also what I learn from F# and functional programming still benefits me in my day job (mostly c++). I think I tend to write a bit safer code after understanding the benefits of a functional language.

I always wondered what would happen to those people on the train. I tried waking them up but they do not budge.

Station staff do it at EOL.

Interesting I found SO to not be that helpful even during the golden years.

I should not that I tend to work in codebases that have little to no public information though so that might be the differentiator. Presumably an LLM would be less useful due to that but I'm looking forward to trying again in the future.

It seems to be happening more and more these days. JPEGMafia is a good example

I have youtube premium and music. I've never tried spotify but I have to believe it's better than youtube music. It's hard to believe it could possibly be worse.

The few times I gave it a try it was dead wrong. The dream is nice but the execution is lacking.

If you were really paranoid you could use a framework like ceramic where unity is just one of the many output targets.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it though.

can you show the 2048 clone?

EDIT : My bad, I see you posted the link elsewhere (link for posterity http://jacek.zlydach.pl/v/2048/ )

TBH 6 hours seems a lot longer than I would have expected.

6 hours of on-and-off casual chatting while working, making dinner, playing with kids, etc. Total time spent in front of keyboard was at most half of that. And would be half of that still, if I had more experience guiding GPT-4o/Aider diffs out of stupid ruts - experience which I gained through this short project.

Also: 6 hours is a lot if you sit down to it and know exactly what to write. Not when you half-remember how the game works, don't have uninterrupted focus time for it, and deal with executive function issues to boot.

Thanks for the insight! I'm still skeptical that it would be great for me as someone who does this for a living but I can see how it might help me for projects outside of my domain.

I'm happy to wait for now and let the tech mature though.

In the last 10 years I'd say the majority of the projects I worked on used WWise. The audio people love it.
