YES yes yes yes to all of this, I am so sick of my hard work being fucking stolen by LLM companies https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics_election-2026/1309382/labour-promises-to-set-up-ai-regulator-copyright-rules-if-elected

Gosh I am such a UI nerd, I'm getting excited adding keyboard shortcuts #gamedev

Science cares not for politics, and I guess we'll make coral reefs extinct. FFS leaders, get your fucking shit together. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/environment/1229545/global-warming-will-inevitably-overshoot-1-point-5-degreesc-paris-agreement-target-un-report #climatechange #paris

I was initially pleasantly surprised with #Xero's automated file-to-bill pipeline using #AI - it looked good. And then as I dug in further, I realised that's all it was - it _looked_ good, but I spent much longer reviewing the output, doing workarounds, fixing errors, and redeveloping context - […] https://mastodon.social/@soundasleep/117198628045965181

I went for a little walk yesterday! It was, uh, a bit chilly #newzealand

The dopamine hit of writing three lines of code that improved test suite performance by 40%, holy heck #gamedev

A quick reminder that training #AI models on content that hasn't been licensed from the copyright holders is THEFT #noai

Gosh #Linux has come a long way. I remember installing Gentoo back in... well, back when Celerons were a thing. Ubuntu 26.04 installed _so_ flawlessly on an old Macbook and heck it looks so GOOD

Ugh imagine relying on #GitHub in 2026 D: #gamedev

Omg #Dropout Improv tonight was AMAZING, I couldn't stop smiling and laughing the entire time. And such nice peeps, too. ♥️

Whoops, accidentally broke my MX records for jevon.org for like... three days. I hope I didn't miss anything important!

Me: Why has this month been _so_ mentally difficult and draining? NIWA:

Thank you #AirNewZealand for making the flight search experience dreadful. This is such UX garbage

Wow, those are some _gusts_... (watches as the fence is nearly blown over) #Wellington

This is brilliant. Congratulations, #Xero. (Trying to do GST returns and it's clear the underlying code is not doing so hot right now.)

Went to #MIT's graduation ceremony today... it was so nice being back around academia and celebrating people who all wanted to learn and to grow 🥹

I miss writing and publishing #Ruby.

Nothing says "I trust you and respect you to make the best decisions for this company" as much as "I'm dictating that you must use this tool every single day from now on" #ai #gitlab

Wow, my first Play by Play and the Pavs has been really amazing 💖 I feel like my cup has been filled, my breath has been caught, and my battery has quick charged. Thank you NZ gamedevs for being so, so lovely and welcoming <3

Some lessons I'm learning after five years of #gamedev: 1. I didn't realise just how important Steam reviews are. A positive review is HUGE 2. Platforms other than Steam are rarely worth the effort 3. [Most] games are really, really cheap for the value and entertainment they provide 4.
