‘Worse is better’ is not a justification – it is a tragedy, and one that folks who code in their free time are thankfully immune from needing to contribute to. So, y’know, don’t. You’re not on a deadline, so make something good, instead of something you regret.

Hot take: science fiction movies are extremely rare. Most films that are sold as science fiction are actually action-adventure with fantasy elements that are coded as scientistic.

Love it we have a “contract” developer but he is not in the right group to push commits to the code repo. When I suggested that he be added to the right group one of the other developers was like that will give him access to everything. I’m sorry but what is everything? It’s not like he can pull from any of the repos as it is. Right now he just can’t commit.

Bad idea of the day: plan 9 from whitespace, a full implementation of plan9 in an extended version of the whitespace programming language, which ships with a printed copy of the source code (a blank notebook)

Having a fun day trying to sort out why my code isn’t working. Only to find out the API server I’m calling is borked.

Underrun – Making Of
I participated in this year’s js13kGames, a JavaScript game development competition with a file size limit of 13kb, including code, assets and everything else. My entry was Underrun, a twin stick shooter using WebGL.

For this competition I set out to produce something with a dense atmosphere – which is inherently difficult to do with so little … ⌘ Read more

While certainly not a solution to everything, I find I’m using temporary SQLITE database a bunch to solve problems with a few lines of sql and less then 50 lines of code (to insert data into the SQLITE DB) instead of several hundred of lines of code and a bunch of arrays.

@metamurks@www.metamurks.org I have tried several times to learn Morse Code. Sadly, I keep having distractions.
