I promise, we’ll get the Balatro collab in. I need to be reminded how much more Balatro there is to learn

We did it. We hit the hotdog water. It was vile.

The hydrate redeem that came shortly after was clutch.

But I’d also do it again for a cause like this

We raised $1600 for Scientific Adventures for Girls

I’m going to need to sit down and process this. The opportunities you unlocked for the next generation of STEM in a time when we need those diverse voices more than ever…

you’re amazing, all of you

A flyer advertising today’s charity stream. It has a picture of a hotdog and notes a few if the event rewards such as a “cursed hotdog”, the IDE change, and unlocking a game night which isn’t part of the channel’s usual activity. It notes a start time of noon PDT with the URL of twitch.tv/theCodeDrift

Back side of a flyer with a list of charity incentives. Every $20 - 10 minutes of hotdog colored IDE Every $80 - the chatbot will roll a cursed hotdog that I’ll eat on stream It then lists the following goals: $150 - Jakob wears a hotdog hat $250 - PlateUp! game night with foxwithtacos $350 - I’m forced to wear that ill-fitting hotdog hat a second time when we play the game $450 - we’ll get a custom commission involving Drifty and hotdogs with chat’s input $500 - I match chat’s donation and we raise $1000 total for SAfG!

Today is the day: we’re coding to support SAfG, and as promised, you can donate and force me to work in the cursed “HotDog Stand” IDE theme.

Mayhem starts at noon PDT
(3p EDT | 7p GMT)

The best defense against AI slop is the absence of an algorithm

It’ll be our secret “foever” 💀

I remain convinced at this point that “strawberry” was a hardcoded fix

What’s in the box? I have some guesses, but we’ll find out today.

Plus, let’s see if we can convince an AI agent to *read the docs*. It’s all prep for tomorrow’s Charity stream (noon PDT Friday).

But first, we code… by proxy… kind of.

Weekly schedule, all times PDT Aug 6 @ 10a: coworking session Aug 7 @ 2p: coding stream- charity prep and APIs Aug 8 @ noon: charity stream- AI, telemetry, hotdog We are raising money for Scientific Adventures for Girls in Oakland.

Charity stream flyer. A hotdog is prominently pictured. It advertises “hotdog ide and cursed food, plus unlock a PlateUp game stream” August 8. Noon to 6 pdt

This week, we’ve got coworking, coding, and cursed hotdogs.

The ever talented @foxwithtacos.bsky.social & @myhandsarecats.bsky.social agreed to VA the cursed hotdog ingredients. I don’t know what to expect. I intend to load these blindly into firebot alerts.

I’ll see y’all soon~

A photo with an ATEEZ lightstick in the foreground and the stage dressing for the concert in the background as a giant (digital) red curtain

ATEEZ World Tour- there were some *moments* tonight

Absolutely loved the use of silhouettes in the VCRs too.

Fun Caltrain fact: when there’s an event in SF, there are bonus trains to help everyone get home. When there’s an event in SJ, there’s exactly one train that left 7 minutes before the event ended.

It gets mixed with Clarity a lot (edm) and I AM (kpop)

A bit of context: nmixx threw the opening pitch at the A’s game in Sac and had a pre game concert. IVE was in LA for kcon

I need clones of myself, as it was impossible to stream, be in LA, code for the startup, and be in Sacramento simultaneously

Second worst $20 spent of my life

Yeah. The check does literally nothing. You don’t get any of the impersonation protections either. :/

A friend mentioned they played games and did giveaways with the audience which seemed super cool.

I still have no docs on what VitrioProxy is. Also, at some point, it does randomly fix itself. :/

I feel heavy with inertia today. It’s been pedal to the floor since the start of July.

“How the f*ck are you still producing fruit?” <= me to my cherry tomato plants the year we planted three and had tomatoes for a decade

rip “buyable pins” and the “did it” button

IIRC, the average user wasn’t interested in buying and doing things, just getting vibes from their feed :/

Today, we gotta prep for the charity stream. We’ll be building the charity tracker, hooking up events to @firebot.app, and probably (accidentally) trigger a hotdog IDE

Plus, answering a question live for curlygirlbabs: can you remod one of your mods post-timeout? I bet we can

If you don’t want to write your own Pack, we’ll attempting the MCP Pack ourselves via copilot August 8th live on stream as part of the fundraiser for Scientific Adventures for Girls.

Yes, using a coding agent to write the telemetry plugin for the coding agent is absurd, but that’s the point.

A little weirded out at all the people I met today with an active presence on X/Twitter. Still. In spite of *gestures at all the awful shit there*

So far, the single biggest slide from #DevGuild was from Quinn (Sourcegraph); an “everything you’ve read about how code and SaaS sales gets done is wrong”

And the caveat: not because it’s right, but because if everyone is doing it wrong, you can’t ignore it when your goal is startup survival.

We also updated the Example Pack / template with a demonstration on how to consume the chunked streams. Because @extism.bsky.social provides strings and we want a consistent format (the JSON wrapper we use), the chunks are base64 between host and wasm.
