Ever wanted to cosplay as a naked chicken? 🐓 Turns out the character color “pink” in Big Walk is actual “nude” 😅
My dog was not pleased that her kong was Big Walk's main foley prop 👁️ I used it for the grab and release sound of every other prop, all the body movements, and all the footsteps. It even came into the woods where I recorded it on the many different surfaces! 🎤
Em@emaudible.bsky.social · 16h agoYes! You win! All the character sounds in Big Walk are kong haha
Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
My fav is when someone shows you their 20 page chat with AI that took place over the course of half an hour and 30s into the story you google the same thing and instantly have the answer + additional critical context
golden apples 🍎@applecider.bsky.social · 21h agoI cannot tell you how many times a day people ask a question on Discord that is researchable, and I know this because I look it up on Google and don't have issues doing so
I can’t overstate how much I appreciate companies like @househouse.com & @panic.com trying to make their products more accessible 💕
Cabel Sasser@cabel.panic.com · 23h agoif you suffer from motion sickness with first-person games, please try one of our "motion reduction overlays" in Big Walk — crosshair, frame, or both. this is experimental, but we really want to improve this accessibility issue. give it a bit of time (if you can) then report back!! here's "both":

I had to log into X for the first time in 2 years to cancel a sub. It was sad to see so many folks in the Laravel community still hanging out at that nazi bar. I only had about 5K+ followers, but I worked hard for that tiny audience. I stood on business and deleted my content & I'm proud of that.
To review Big Walk, a terrific multiplayer game all about testing your communication skills, my walkmates and I wrote a co-authored diary chronicling our playthrough from three perspectives. Hopefully it gets across what makes this thing so special. Our review. www.polygon.com/big-walk-rev...
2026’s best multiplayer game, properly reviewed by multiple players
This is Big Walk – it's big... but no simple walk

I knew Big Walk was good when I played it for @alexspencerdale.bsky.social's Edge cover feature last year. I didn't anticipate how special the full game would be, nor that its ending would leave me floored. An unforgettable experience, which I grappled with for EG: www.eurogamer.net/big-walk-rev...

What people fail to realize is that you can’t minimize LLM hallucinations. LLMs are non deterministic. Its literally a hallucination machine that sometimes we like like the output of.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 4d agoI’ve spent months exploring smart defaults for fact checking to minimize hallucinations in ChatGPT & Claude and now have something I think is ready to share. Add the following prompt to the Settings->Personalization-> Custom instructions in ChatGPT and Settings-> Profile->Instructions in Claude.
So close to hitting my goal of 30 books read this year - just 3 more to go!
Blog posts we used to have: “how I reduced latency across several hundred machines by 200 ms by removing two O(n)^2 hot paths” Blog posts we have now: “Here’s how to get the most out of /ultrathink in the latest release of Claudex 3.0.5”
Also: "In a team without a strong existing culture of collaboration, this has a tendency to further separate people, to chill communication at precisely the moment when you most need the reassurance that other humans are finding this hard too." 💔
The ”State of Devs 2026” survey is currently open! It's run by the same folks who do the other “State of…” surveys, but this one is about us rather than the technology. Lots of interesting questions around AI, career trajectory, our goals, etc. Check it out:

🚀 I made a little app for #webcomponents called CEM-to-CSV that creates a lil' spreadsheet to help with naming audits across your entire design system. It's all powered by your custom element manifest. Upload, drop, or paste your CEM today! cem-to-csv.netlify.app
The 2026 State of Devs survey is now open. This survey's goal is to take the pulse of the developer community regarding things like career, workplace issues, and mental and physical health, and I think it's more important than ever right now! survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

The more I use SwiftUI, the more I realize we are spoiled by the modern web and its tooling. It’s increasingly difficult to justify full native experiences, especially for small companies with limited resources.
