@thdxr @yacineMTB Did he just confuse you with @trashh_dev ? Not cool!

@yacineMTB i don't do that

I can't wait to watch Theo, prime, and then dax read this on stream

Alpha 0.1.6 is out. I added perks: Sun blessed, Moon blessed, Big belly, Sleepy head, Iron Skin, and Allergic to Water. - Added a new game screen where you can roll different dwarves (with random perks). Wishlist and join playtest: store.steampowered.com/app/4000460/Dw…

Alpha 0.1.5 is out! Added - Dwarves can get perks now. For now all for now "Allergic to water". They get damaged by rain and don't need to drink water to survive. Fixed - Dwarves who die in their sleep would keep snoring forever. Wishlist and try it: store.steampowered.com/app/4000460/Dw…

I just checked the calendar. My LLM fans are you done with your work for this year? Let’s assume just 2x increase in productivity. Is windows finally usable now? What’s up with Spotify’s 4000 PRs per week. Is that app better in any way? Where are all the gains from AI?

The year of Superluminal on the Linux desktop is finally here! It has been a huge undertaking, way, way (way) bigger than we ever expected, so I'm super excited to finally release this to the wild. Really curious to see how well this works outside of our relatively small group. Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you!

Alpha 0.1.4 is out! - Added winter variants for terrain cells - Brick walls now modify terrain cells so you can built things on top of them. - Destroying walls them will turn them back to Stone / Clay Checkout the playtest on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4000460/Dw…

Alpha 0.0.10 was just published. This introduces a bunch of new items (sawmill, walls), UI cleanup, bugfixes (such as dead dwarves resurecting after loading a saved game). Join the playtest, wishlist or see the patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/46820… #indiegames #indie #gamedev

There is no demand for huge quantities of slop. More commits / LOC / PRs does not equate to more valuable productivity. Users want fewer, but better, programs.

@wookash_podcast This explains it all

I can't get over the fact that Luke has seen his parents like this

@typecraft_dev 2 weeks on the job and this happens

I'm looking rough, should start moisturizing or something

@thdxr I dunno about the big tech angle. If that was true and it doesn’t matter, why do big corps fire like 10-20% of their engineers recently instead of letting them experiment with whatever in the hope of creating new revenue streams?

a lot of programmers work in the tech a lot more of them work outside of tech tech makes a lot of revenue per employee - if they had to pay 2x per programmer it probably wouldn't matter very different for everyone else worth thinking about in terms of coding agent spend

I am published a new build: Alpha 0.0.7. If you can crash the game when saving/loading you're getting your portrait in the hall of fame. You just need to send me the bugged save. Details below: store.steampowered.com/news/app/46820…

What are these? NEW Trees! Where can you see them? In my game! An early alpha is available on steam (free ofc!) and you can experience all the hand crafted glitches, bugs and dwarves and other things!!! Alpha 0.0.6 is out. store.steampowered.com/app/4000460 #gamedev #indiegames

@wookash_podcast What's INumber?!

I just learned that this style of OO programming is still taught in 2026 that's 200k views, 2months ago, "Rebuilding Pokemon with Object Oriented Programming"

@vkrajacic @wookash_podcast @thomasklemenc Sysinternals 2.0

@wookash_podcast @thomasklemenc Drop "for Windows". It's cleaner.

Just found out an active File Pilot community member @thomasklemenc made a task manager inspired by it! Handmade from scratch, C++, win32, D3D custom renderer, 1.55 MB. More of this in my feed, less AI slopware.

@its_bvisness This one from @ferristweetsnow is also a must-see: youtube.com/watch?v=p9Obe-… He has also various breakdowns and overall good content. I miss the twitch streamers from ages ago :D

If you have ever built a nodes-and-wires type of UI (e.g. Blueprints or the Blender compositor) then you should be taking notes from the demoscene 26 years ago: youtu.be/PgBILOwzT-I?si…

I don’t know if i believe this “I am not blocked by typing speed” discourse. If you cared about that you’d be in neovim but here you are chugging along in vscode

sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

This is what it looks like when the folks who build the thing also use it themselves.
