There’s a commonly held belief that the legacy of vibe coded software will generate a ton of lucrative gigs for senior coders, but the gigs will be “painful.” I have to point out that this is the typical experience of starting any new job with a legacy codebase, at least at the beginning 😂 #gamedev

When I got my first real job at Philips I waited until I got paid and bought my first CD player: A portable one with 45s of anti shock and S/PDIF out. Why did I give that away?!

I have the amp, just need the Discman.

Doesn’t work

What was able to play the CD?

Show this to a Gen-Z graphics/renderer programmer and listen to their reaction and comments with a wry smile. #gamedev

It’s 24.7 today. I’m apparently healthy but it feels uneasy to consider what is happening to my body.

As of yesterday, my BMI is 24.8, which is the lowest it’s ever been since I was a teenager. How did I do it? IBS forced me to quit lactose, wheat and fermentable carbs.

Is there a flag for people that are bisexual, but with high standards? Asking for a friend.

I’ve already reported it on JIRA

I didn’t say “we” would cut it for being too silly 😜

A launderette in Feltham (Greater London) called “Bubbles”, featuring the subtitle “Where technology meets true value”.

If this laundromat was featured in an open-world video game, it would probably get cut during development for being too silly.

I didn’t even know misconduct in public office was a crime here 💀 You’re telling me that’s been illegal this whole time??!

So Prince Andrew. Ick.

Here’s a tiny selection of the Great British Heist

At the British Museum today. The word “acquired” is doing a lot of heavy lifting,

Also you may think the Shazza story is a fake marketing angle, but more likely has a big element of truth to it because that’s how British people like to laugh - at themselves.

London coffee hits different when you get a free cookie like this

Fair question. More than you’d think.

It was. I ate it so fast I forgot to photograph it 😝

In London today after a long hiatus. First lunch experience: Poke bowl but with doner kebab meat on top. Conclusion: Couldn’t be more London if it tried.

Considered this years ago, then released I could get a Singer for £80 second hand, do the sewing myself, and maintain some self respect 😝

Any trans people show up in the Epstein files yet? None so far.

But I heard from various tabloid outlets that we need to protect children from trans people. Are some of these tabloid owners implicated in the Epstein scandal? Yes?

You think their trans debate might have been a diversion tactic?

Omg the human expert made it better??!! /sarcasm

Snowplow and a “o-oh” at the end? What a chump

Emailing Bosch group now

I just bought a new oven with knobs

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“Why are we moving to Git again?”

As a Filipino, I can confirm that much outsourced digital labor in the Philippines consists of "remotely faking processes described as automated." Since these workers are contractually forbidden from disclosing this work, people remain continuously surprised by this in the year of our lord 2026.
