I think as a logo I prefer the first. The second one looks quite nice too when viewed in isolation, however I do think that it may look a bit too chaotic when used in a context that has a lot of other visual stuff going on.

I always need to look up the pattern syntax for match statements when I use them. I love pattern matching, but I don't use it often enough to remember the exact way to write them

I was wondering why @jetbrains.com took effort to obscure that "Full Code Completion" plugin uses AI. Now I know.

Their products will harvest your code for AI training. It sends "complete data about interactions with large language models", which means everything, if you use Full Line Completion.

Make Games Anywhere: Introducing Godot for iPhone and Xogot Lite Since the beginning of time, or at least since the launch of Xogot for iPad, developers have asked: โ€œBut can you put Godot on the iPhone?โ€

Today we are launching Xogot for iPhone, along with a free edition.

The iPhone has been a challenging process for shrinking the UI even further.

Stick it Up! Stick it Up! is an online tool to know how much to extend your controller's analog stick in order to emulate another's feel.

Today, I found out the perfect analogy for "thumb-travel range": it is the mouse DPI for the human thumb.

Software cannot fix this. It's like the difference between using a mouse at 400โ€‰dpi and at 3600โ€‰dpi.

So I added a little more context to the "What is thumb-travel range" section of my page.

I loved playing this at A MAZE earlier this year!

It has a quite unique game mechanic where the weight of a story is defined by the space you give it in the newspaper. And all the characters are animals, which is really cool setting for a game like this โœจ

Go wishlist it if this sounds fun to you!

So yeah, blindly using AI may save some bucks initially, but the maintenance costs are quite high. And at least for the clients I talked with, it would have been cheaper to just hire a programmer.

14.08.2025 07:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Which leads me to the second point: maintenance. You still need to know how your code works. Because examples like this can be avoided if you know what you are doing. And no, relying on AI for this is flawed. It's like pulling on a slot machine until the code "kinda works", repeating the cycle.

14.08.2025 07:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

One example from a recent client: The AI built the app code with a specific hosted database API and claimed that this service was basically the only solution. It was an offline app. But the startup paid for a scalable hosted database.

14.08.2025 07:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Like sure, initially generating the code may be cheaper than hiring a programmer. But only looking at that metric is super flawed as it completely ignores the costs of side effects and maintenance.

14.08.2025 07:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Lately I had more and more contract offers from clients that needed someone to fix their code because it was messed up by an AI. The common problem is that it "kinda works" but has unintended side consequences, ultimately leading to spending more money than necessary.
