A bit more refined than yesterday. I hope the feature will be done soon

VineWall Week 30 🌱
Most of the scroll style feature is complete, but I'm still working on the presentation of the feature. After some prototyping, I decided that I will use coins to represent the scroll style.
Next week: Continue working on scroll style

@KaiLentit Meta has meeting rooms named after Pokemon, so close enough?

Second prototype for VineWall scroll style feature.
I decided to ditch the instant photo visuals for a coin, and I'm also rendering it in 3d instead of just SwiftUI.
English
I'm working on the UI to show to the users what VineWall thinks their scroll style is.
My first prototype is an instant photo, its kinda of working but lacks polish and the "wow" effect

@nicole_clash Friendly reminder for everyone: If you plan to speak with a lawyer for wrongful termination, do NOT tell the company you are planning to do so! You just gave them extra time to prepare for the lawsuit.
Simply refuse to sign anything, and say as little as possible.

Yesterday was my last day at Riot Games.
It’s been 3 years since I dropped out and joined the company. And despite the way my relationship with Riot ended, this has been the best learning experience I could have asked for. I had the chance to work with an amazing, passionate group of people, and count it among my many blessings.
I was fired. I did not leave, and I was not laid off. I’m not going to come on here and pretend otherwise. They flat out fired me, and offered me 15k to keep my mouth shut. Needless to say, I did not take them up on that.
The official reason for my termination that I was given was about an Applied AI pitch deck I made. I had put it up as a website with a password protection on it before sharing the site with our execs. They are claiming that I broke confidentiality. While I highly doubt that this was the real reason, I’m not gonna open myself up to libel by saying here what I believe the real reason to be.
There has been no proof that anyone outside of Riot has seen the pitch deck, and that the security measures I’ve taken were not enough. What is more absurd, however, is that our CEO and various other execs have read it, told me how much they enjoyed reading it, and further encouraged me to explore the concepts I’ve outlined in the deck. Zero mention of needing me to take it down.
If this was the decision of a random middle manager up my chain of command, I would have found that a lot easier to accept. What broke me though was the fact that an exec who I viewed as a role model, one of two people that I shared the deck with originally, who explicitly told me to share it out further, he knew about my termination ahead of time. And he did nothing to stop it.
I was sad. Then I was pissed. Then I was sad and pissed. Now though, all I feel is an overwhelming sense of freedom. Normally, posting something like this is a big no no, since it will kill your chances of ever working in corporate. Luckily for me, I have made the decision that I will never work corporate again. Riot, if you’re reading this, I have also made the decision to not legally pursue the case of wrongful termination. We’re cool.
I’m taking today off. Tomorrow is my first day as an entrepreneur. This is a step that I’ve thought about taking for a while now, but could never bring myself to leave Riot for. In a twisted way, I’m grateful the decision’s been made for me.
I have a few ideas on direction. I will not be raising money. And I cannot wait to build, truly build.

@manjiripathak16 One that read and remembers everything, but never actually coded 😆
English
@checksumbyte true, it’s starting to feel like managing a very fast junior dev
English
The more I use Claude Code, the more it feels like people management rather than coding.
I'm spending more time writing documents and instructions, and almost no time coding.
The closest I get to code is doing code review.
English
@cihatkaya I was thinking less about sharing it between users and more about how it doesn’t need to be fast because there is not a human in the loop
English
You're essentially describing a distributed computing model for personal devices, like a local Folding@home for AI tasks. The tech for this exists (WebGPU, WASM, local LLMs), but the coordination layer and incentive model are the missing pieces. Imagine a protocol where you could "rent out" your idle GPU cycles for a fraction of a cent per inference, managed by a smart contract. That's where the real innovation needs to happen.
English
Local LLM are very underuse, most of the time my computer is doing nothing, I wish there was some tool that would automatically take advantage of the idle time and do some work.

I cant believe they went with this url, truly amazing!

At some point, there was a cultural development where we began calling the requirement of skill "gatekeeping", and the appreciation of the skill "elitism", and I vote we stop doing this immediately.

Software used to be gated by roughly 20 million professional developers up until last year. Good ideas still needed engineers, co-founders, time, and months of app work. Now, anyone can build. ~ Wabi CEO Eugenia Kuyda

@ashleybchae @im_roy_lee Did Roy back stab other companies?

@WoLingMin @nonregemesse You are correct, but you are no fun

@WagieCapital Which is why their investors are dropping them!
It's heavily implied by them that they did for ethical reasons, but the reality is that they know the company is worth 0 dollars
English
@racheleizner In hindsight, I would have taken this job just to have a front seat view of the massive burning fire.
English
@0xDevShah They are a dead company at this point, there is no way for them to recover from this.
Investors are ditching them because they know the company is worth zero dollars.
