Im not sure if this helps anyone but I used to tell my jr devs the same thing:

1. You got the job.
2. You are now a developer.

The article somewhat goes over this but: Learning to code is a life long thing. You just keep getting better each day with practice. Im not sure about the phases though. Definitely the “job ready” portion of the article. It seems short sighted to say you need all those things and going through each of the “phases” in order to be successful. Just solve a problem. With software. Congrats!

Last week our SaaS vendor went down for a good 2 days. The vendor the company spends about 1.1 million per year to keep running. It doesn’t bother me really, just means I can concentrate on other things(and I get paid either way), but its amazing what other companies run as their infrastructure.

Makes me feel good with my equivalent potato servers.

The AI portion looks like its more classic algorithms than real LLM/AI that the modern web associates with the term. But im not sure without really getting into the code. Its been a LONG time since ive worked with lisp.

Im not defending the tool, just trying out some new browsers. But I did want to make that bit clear. Either way, it is causing some confusion.

I was able to make this work by: https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/3480#issuecomment-2308393317

Im just casually looking at other browsers lately seeing whats out there. Came across this one, and thought it was neat.

Sounds like an excellent time to throw Linux on them. Or give them away to those who will do so.

I hope n ntendo doesn’t shut them down

Yep Linux is the easiest way to get games :) don’t even need to worry about viruses.

95% of my games work on Linux. Quite a few windows specific programs too. Praise proton and the wine team!

Codebase is clean too.

I believe one of the killer features is the ability to aggregate different communities.

Nice. I went and followed via Mastodon but I cant seem to follow anyone other than the default users. Im using https://fed.brid.gy/ is there a better bridge out there?

Anyone try the bridge? Seems a bit convoluted.

Anything that gets people off Twitter is a good thing. And it means more potential mastodon users later on ;)

I use puppy from time to time. Works well.

I created a distro once for class that just had diaspora installed on a live CD. It was only used for demos a looong time ago. DiasporaTest.

I can’t think of any windows specific games I’ve payed for the last two years.

I make my own bread. A good bread knife is worth it. I also have an electric one that’s a couple decades old with a bread maker another couple of decades old.

Naa but you can do the same with suno.

Other games ive liked on the steam deck:

I like pixel games and/or great flow state. The SD has some of the best speakers on handhelds ive ever owned plus audio jack (wooo!). For flow games, ill often put them on and have an audiobook or podcast going at the same time.

1. Peglin, fun little peggle rouge-like. Its a good flow state game.
2. Coromon - Pokemon like game with excellent GBA vibes. Awesome pixel art, the coromon themselves look fantastic. Great little RPG.
3. Dave the Diver - I recently picket this up. Ive been enjoying the game, again pixel art is great. I love that all the side charaters have these huge cutscenes but Dave is just…Dave.
4. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling - If you liked Mario RPG or the paper mario series, this is a game for you.
5. Tetris® Effect: Connected - Tetris, but with trippy visuals/music. Great flow state game that you can play with your friends.
6. Cobalt Core - rouge-like, FTL like, space game. Has a good story, fun gameplay loop. Another flow state game for me.

Nice. Its such small footprint game. Im tempted to get it for mobile/ other game console (portmaster?) just to keep going. Steam deck is great, but I need something smaller when I go out.

I hate that I understand this. Well done.
