Man I’m really stepping out of my comfort zone and starting to write my thoughts … like blogging. It’s so weird to put my thoughts and progress out there for all to judge and critique. But I hope it’s help to someone.

I’ve been venturing more into the developer space building tools and apps for myself and my team. But for the Unity Awards I took it one step further and built a full web app. It was one hell of a ride - open.substack.com/pub/devonsta...

I’m convinced that the Christmas ugly sweater is uncomfortable by design.

What’s worse about this is I read about a “fix” which was basically adding a line that ignores the error. And I thought to myself that can’t be legit. Turns out that’s how we can code now…

Will there ever be a day where I won’t struggle with an error in code that takes me two days to fix only to realise it was a 1min fix.

Siri just pulled off her own version of a butt dial—while I was teaching my kid how to make scrambled eggs and bacon. Guess even AI wants to join breakfast conversations!

I hope that something isn’t a bad something.

Today was a good day, I deleted X from my phone.

Being self taught and feeling like an imposter with #dev this was the most vindicating piece of feedback I got about my skill

I'm really enjoying openai's live chat, it's really starting to feel more natural and interesting. I've already incorporated it into a 'calling santa' and to practice having a french conversation so I can learn more quickly. The only thing left is for it provide code snippets while chatting.

I so often can't wait to get my week started, I've got so many cool idea's and projects to get working on and then ... as I sit at my desk it's like ... meh.

A goodie a new social platform to try, I'm hoping we'll be decent humans here? #hereshoping
