Gas Townโs Agent Patterns, Design Bottlenecks, and Vibecoding at Scale
On agent orchestration patterns, why design and critical thinking are the new bottlenecks, and whether we should let go of looking at code
I have Gas Town derangement syndrome and spent the last few weeks writing thousands of words on agent orchestration patterns; how they shift our bottlenecks and force us to ask whether and when we should stop looking at code

How Jennell Jaquays Evolved Dungeon Design, Part 1: Pre-Jaquays Dungeons
(This is a slightly cleaned up version of my two Bluesky threads on Jennell Jaquays, preserved in a hopefully easier to read format. Thank Amanda P for reminding me that having these things stored โฆ
Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.
@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says heโs never used generative AI, and never will.
"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Coxinha
Although a regular coxinha is more the size and shape of a bulbous, dumpy pear, these are mini versions, like fat little figs, and you can get a fabulous 70 of these emblematically Brazilian chicken...
Itโs the Sete de Setembro โ Brazilโs Independence Day โ so it is only right that Coxinha, the emblematically Brazilian chicken croquette, is #RecipeOfTheDay! These, though, are mini versions, much more manageable for making at home. www.nigella.com/recipes/coxi...

Why โSilksongโ Took Seven Years to Make
The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that itโs become an internet meme
BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.
This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Meu pai sempre teve o sonho de percorrer caminhando os 250km que separam Arcoverde de Recife. Prometi que vou com ele ano que vem, quando teremos 70 e 40 anos de idade, ele e eu.
Estamos chamando a empreitada de Santiago de Arcoverde (ou Arcoverde de Compostela).
