HR will soon add a mention in the company manual that despite past cases it's against company values to bonesaw critics and whistleblowers before stuffing them in a suitcase.

I have been giving a fair shot a LLM coding tools over the past months. Here are my thoughts. mropert.github.io/2026/08/04/a...

They gave me a Claude subscription and told me to get tokenmaxxing, so I tried to give it a fair shot.

I don't think I can express how terrible Mariott is and I really need to double check if the place I'm booking happens to have been acquired and now applying their absolutely insane service policy.

Hotels that force you to sign up to their loyalty program to get even basic wifi should be made illegal. Get the EU consumer protection on that stuff.
Damn the sequel to my "Can It Run Doom?" lightning talk is writing itself. Joke aside, GTX 900 makes sense if you want to target Vulkan 1.3 (earlier cards have sketchy driver support). As for recommended specs, I'd guess mesh shaders, although RX 5xxx series don't support them.
I see a message on slack about a redundancy hitting a team and next business day all the American and Canadian employees in the thread have had their account shut down. Then people ask me if I would ever consider go work there like it's a serious idea anyone could ever entertain.
What ordering food in Sweden at 20:39 in summer feels like
Gatwick airport just made up a new rule to decide you can't have a bottle opener on you anymore and threw mine in the bin. Fuck you UK
Tried Amazon Prime at my girlfriend's what do you mean you get ads and you need an extra subscription to not get your 1h episode interrupted 3 times? How is anyone still giving Bezos money?
French guys who complain we pay too much taxes now asking we don't have more Canadairs and firefighters to stop forest fires.
Petition to add whatever .editorconfig settings exist to AGENTS.md spec so Microsoft makes it a top priority to add support for it to VS Code. It's only been requested for a decade and supported in every other editor after all.
English bartender just asked me if I wanted ice with my white wine. You guys deserved to lose the world cup or whatever bad thing happened to your island recently.
Guy sitting next to me on the plane was one of them. 25 yo with dual British-French citizenship. Days with seeing a lawyer, held in detention center, no charges they could convict them of, still escorted out with a 5 year entry ban. Fascist insanity from Swedish government.
Friend of mine just made me realize that AI is so successful because it's _both_ fraud and gambling, depending whether you're on the investor side or the user side.
Oh dear the writing in House of the Dragon is going the way Game of Thrones, isn't it? That last scene was so out of place.
They could like refuse to shake his hand. Or something. Idk. Anything...
Sweden is such a failed state there's no way to watch the world cup final without paying TV4 subscription.
I am still unsure what happened during this game

For all the recent clamor for a New Vegas spiritual successor, I'm sure you know you of Outer Worlds. But did you know the lead writer went on to make another franchise set in post apocalyptic western United States? It's a small franchise called Horizon Zero Dawn...
Well I officially don't care about the world cup anymore. But if anyone needs an opinion we support Spain because there's no way we getting behind England or Argentina. Go for it hermanos!
It's low key hurting me that the argument that might finally spell the doom of node based editor is "you can't have AI work with them, unlike text" and not _all the other issues_.
Mathieu Ropert@matropert.bsky.social · 4w agoWe had this thing called code that is text and exactly encodes machine instructions. Then someone said "what if I turned this into an unreadable 2d graph UI that generates poor code and serializes to binary?" We call it "Node based" and we think it's gonna go great.

I have been using AI a bunch at work and while at first it felt helpful to get to know new stuff, I am finding this tweet vindicated times and times again.
Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.
OneBGS - Bethesda Game Studios Union@bethesdaunion.bsky.social · 4w agoThose of us in Rockville were inspired by the Dallas team's vigil for those let go Monday and made our own Celebration of Service. We set it up this morning in the common area of the first floor at 9am today.
I feel like you can just reply this under every game studio announcement lately. Don't even need to post the full meme anymore, just this pic has become enough.
Behind every "solo dev success story" is usually a partner working 9-5 for years to pay the bills.
Cara Ellison@caraellison.bsky.social · 4w agogame devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?
