not sure how big the overlap is between people who want to see a horny film about tennis and people who are excited for a Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross soundtrack that's great for working to... but for the latter group of people, you should check out ChallengersPermalink Look on archive.org

just added a new batch of featured accounts in Downpour. so if you've got the app, there's some new games to play in there. if you don't... someday i'll let you view the featured users on the web. until then you should just get the app.Permalink Look on archive.org

I would go further and say that if you are a solo dev or on a small team and you hide the complexity within abstractions, you are going to fiercely resist small changes and special cases that break those abstractions. which will be fatal, because they are the point of the game. @innesmck/1782813190331527443Permalink Look on archive.org

i just did some clever coding, moving behaviour from something implicit in the framework to somewhere i'd have more control over it, and it's working exactly as intended... and now i can't remember why i wanted to produce this behaviour in the first place. time for a cup of tea.Permalink Look on archive.org

a rule of thumb I seem to go by with my creative tools is to find something fun and creative that only people can code do, and then let people who are good at other stuff have a go, too. you get good stuff that way! @FreyaHolmer/1781256579565715584Permalink Look on archive.org
