Lately I've been building historic board games for the original Game Boy, as an exercise in agentic coding: me directing, Claude Code doing a lot of the GBDK legwork. Two are now out, free / pay-what-you-want on @itch.io. A quick thread: #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy #agenticcoding
100% agree, the ability to quickly create bespoke solutions is extremely powerful.

Dietary convergence induces individual responses in faecal microbiome composition
Background Dietary variation has been identified as a key contributor to microbiome diversification. However, assessing its true impact in a cross-sectional setting is complicated by biological confou...

Bonus update! Choropleths are still visually distorted and overrepresent land, so we can instead use points that are sized by population. I added an example at the end to show one way to do this with {sf}'s magical st_centroid() #rstats www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...
Andrew Heiss@andrew.heiss.phd · last yr.I really liked this idea of using a histogram as a legend in a choropleth map (since land isn't unemployed; people are), so I made a little guide to doing it with #rstats, {ggplot2}, and {patchwork} www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...
Web design isn't my forte, but after a few hours spread over last week, I'm pretty happy with how my personal webpage update turned out! 🎉 Check it out: sebastian.proost.science With some additional technical updates in place, I think it's good to go for a while again! 😅 What do you think?
Currently a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at the VIB-KULeuven Center for Microbiology (Leuven, Belgium), focussing on the human gut microbiome and its connections to host health.

If you missed my talk but still want to learn how to make your R code more reproducible, my slides are here 🙂: daxkellie.quarto.pub/will-your-co... All the links to packages and resources I mentioned are there, so hopefully this can be a nice reference, too! #ESAus2024 #rstats #quartopub 🧪🌏
Homepage up and running with #Node v22 and #GatsbyJS v5 (migrated from v2 yikes!). The groundwork is now done and so I can update sebastian.proost.science soon 👍
Currently working as a Senior PostDoc at the VIB-KULeuven Center for Microbiology (Leuven, Belgium) studying the human gut microbiome and how it connects with the host's health.

An 1440p ultrawide + a macropad to switch between virtual desktops has been a major productivity booster for my workflow! It is redonkulous this isn't far more common :-D
