I have barely used Twitter/X/whatever over the last year and my life is much better for it. I’ll keep my account until it’s taken away but if you’re looking for me, look elsewhere!

Just kicked off a couple days away from work. I'm eating chips with chopsticks so I can play Diablo 4 without getting my keyboard/mouse greasy and salty. So I think things are going pretty good so far.

@MAJ_Madden I was thinking about this... I need to record these sessions so they can be shared. And maybe commit code during the process so people can follow the git history. But that becomes curriculum development that I spend all my time on instead of teaching my kids! Hard to balance!

@profexorgeek Awesome Job!! Great Work Dad! If you find out what works.....How can you 'export' or 'share' that to get more folks either exposed, aware, or interested?

This weekend I wanted to have my kids experience programming that was: 1) Real, not Scratch or some non-prod thing 2) Accessible, feel like "I can do this" 3) Short form, build a "program" in a single setting We made a dice rolling app in about 1hr...

I think a lot of the abstract Scratch exercises in school that try to make development "easier" actually turned my kids off of programming. I wanted them to experience dev the way I learned it: having a vision for something and working through the problems to get there!

When we started, my oldest was really uninterested. He said programming was "boring" and wanted to do something else. At the end, he was excited to show mom what he had made and experiment with styling it to look cool. I really love outcome-focused teaching!

@RaphDeslandes I’ve been learning blender sculpt tools because I want to sculpt and print art thingys. Its so powerful and the UI is 1000x better than it used to be. Very enjoyable.

Honestly the biggest failure of my 3D classes was to teach 3ds max instead of Blender. I am soooooo far behind. Blender is too op

@MrHelmut Oh man. Remember how bad allocs were in XNA days? Huge frame dips on GC. Now I do all sorts of naughty things and get away with it.

You thought there was nothing to know about memory management with C#? Here are 2 kg of it.

@wesbos Is that CSS or a Linq expression?

say CSS isn't a programming language again

@terrajobst I switched from "computer speakers" to studio monitors a few yrs ago and have been very pleased. Monitors offer less woofy bass but crisp tones across all freq. These are affordable and I'm so pleased with them that I now own three pair: amazon.com/PreSonus-Eris-…
