Is Intellij Idea 2025.3.1 WSL2 integration only for me totally broken?

I really liked Radek Jurga's "Learn Game Engine Programming" page, and I was really sad, when the site disappeared some time ago. So I contacted him. He does not have the time to fix the hosting issues, so I asked him if I could host the site. So here you can find it: engine-programming.net #gamedev

Me last week

Thats also me, did that last week :D

And if all these people are talking like AI is magic, then the reality is, that compared to the expectatiom of magic AI is crap. Just stochastic parrots.

In my experience more people, especially CEOs of AI Corps, talk about replacing Devs in the next 6 months for more than 3 years now. That is obviously a PR stunt. All Devs I know use it to some extent. None of them believe it makes them 100% faster, not even 50%.

Software Developer here, I use AI everyday, but it is still mid. It makes me sometimes 10% faster, often it slows me down. The only code base I can see where it makes you immensely faster is a green field javascript/python hobby project. In a legacy Java codebase it is as clueless as me.

You actually need movement to appreciate it fully

This art style is sick!

But, I don't know, it is just not for me. So I came back to Rust and I must say the tooling and ecosystem around Rust just make such a big difference for me. So I guess I will just stay with Rust for now. Let's see how bad the compile times for small game will get. #gamedev

Maybe I could live without a package manager. But also the LSP is not as good as the LSP for other languages and I do not like the metaprogramming game in Odin. Then I tried zig: The tooling is okay, even if writing your own build.zig can be a difficult task. Interfacing with C code is really easy..

But which language to use? I tried three that I was interested in: #odinlang, #ziglang and #rustlang. Odin has raylib bindings out of the box which is great. But the approach of minimal tooling around Odin is not for me. I get it: npm and cargo can be a mess..

I had the idea to program a little tower defense game. I really don't like using one of the big engines. Then I discovered #raylib. I think it has the right level of abstraction to make writing a game fun for me...

It is good. Great to have software that does exactly what one wants! :)

I am not that proficient in Rust (writing mainly Java and Javascript on the job). Getting the state and the UI behave nicely with the borrow checker was the hardest part I guess. Other than that I really enjoyed the DX of Rust.

For my job I need to track how much time I which task takes. All apps I tried had to much bloat for me. So I wrote a little time tracking app in #rustlang.

🏗️ Organizing Larger Projects #rustlang

How do large projects like bevy or the rust compiler get broken down into manageable chunks? How do they keep the codebase modular and maintainable, and easy to work on? Do you have a single main file with 500+ LOC?

Let's learn how to use workspaces🧵👇

Am I the only one who sees Rami Malek from Mr. Robot there?

AI Horseless Carriages | koomen.dev An essay about bad AI app design

Good point why most AI apps suck today: "My core contention in this essay is this: when an LLM agent is acting on my behalf I should be allowed to teach it how to do that by editing the System Prompt."

Judging from the New Employees Handbook of Valve and the speculated numbers of gross pay per employee, Valve seems to be the best company on earth.

Here’s how I use LLMs to help me write code Online discussions about using Large Language Models to help write code inevitably produce comments from developers who’s experiences have been disappointing. They often ask what they’re doing wrong—h...

The link to the article btw: simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/...

Very important point from @simonwillison.net :

"Don’t fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing LLMs and assuming that failures which would discredit a human should discredit the machine in the same way."

It is my 4th attempt really learning Rust. I go through "Command-Line Rust" by Ken Youens-Clark and that book really clicks.
