the whole point of the Fediverse is to disperse power by fracturing it into instances. Having one account (=one instance) represent one hashtag that can be followed works against this. So this whole idea is anti Fediverse

I'd object here: one reason 25% of Fediverse accounts are on mastodon.social is because Mastodon website suggests this as a default server to join, so newcomers not being adversed in the Fediverse won't bother searching for alternative instances. I'd say most people join through that approach vs going through all that faff of migrating your account over to mastodon.social unless I am unaware of some statistic.

2026-05-27T06:43:41Z

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

Using the Bézier curve editor in #Godot can be confusing for people who have never used it before (first screenshot). This is because by default, it is not zoomed in properly. Always click the button on the bottom right so it zooms in properly.

It's disheartening to see that by default, the Mastodon (npub163h…mv0n) iPhone app suggests to join mastodon social instead of a dropdown of various servers. This is not empowering the Fediverse but rather gives power to a single instance. Please change this!!

Built an interactive tool today so I can test the new alloy system before I implement it into my game. This allows me to run simulations based on data and calculate how the new material/alloy system will work.

So far, the experiments seem extremely promising. Being able to mix/match all sorts of metals together to unlock new exciting abilities is really cool!

Hobby indie dev here: 100% agree with this take.

I found that open development can make your game even better. For example, quite early on I decided to publish a demo for my game on itch https://bitbrain.itch.io/cave so people can give feedback. This feedback has been invaluable and without it the game would be factually much worse.

Release early, release often!

Another weakness of the current UI is that the player prior to each action has to select the item for that action. e.g. if they want to mine rock, they first have to actively select the pickaxe. This is very frustrating, especially when there are a lot of items to consider, which brings me to my next point. (3/5)

Rather than spending hours on polishing the art, I do quick sketches and drop them into the game to see how the level feels + flows. Only when I am satisfied I start polishing it further.
