Nail on the head, this is new. When someone can steal your release date then why bother making a game? Make a game, release a demo, demo is stolen and published the same week, 6 months before the dev was ready to release.

Demos are (up until this week) the #1 for studios to do marketing.

Marketing will change now, to more socials being required (YT etc), and even then only small bits here and there as decomp will happen from video as well.

The marketplaces that adapt to this and enable devs will help, hopefully.

You don’t need to use anything. You just need to enjoy what you are doing. This is often related to dopamine. Being in flow state for hours on end while programming is bliss and fun for me.

If you don’t enjoy programming keep trying, have the language or api docs open and do not use generative AI. Generative AI just gets you outcomes. An artist paints because they like painting, not because they like a pile of painted pictures.

I had an Odin code base with raylib doing cpu bound stuff. On Catchy OS it tanked my frame rate from 120 to 90 fps (intentionally, seeing what I can get away with). Same build, on Windows 11, 40fps.

the OS makes a huge baseline difference

Any multiregion deployment requires DynamoDB. Shame this solution is specific to AWS.

Night visón comment is 100% spot on. Most haven’t even experienced it. Here’s a trick, when you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, keep one eye closed the whole time if there are lights. When back in bed open that eye. That’s night vision.

If you enjoyed programming prior to LLM’s, like it was actually a fun thing for you to do, why would you use an LLM? You wouldn’t, it’s depressing.

Similar to an artist who enjoys drawing or painting, would they use an LLM? No, because they like doing that craft.

Would a programmer who loves programming use it to create marketing materials? Absolutely.

Habit, shortcut memory and more. But, it’s not 100% that, gimp over complicates itself.

Thank you so so much!

I cant stand Gimp UI, so not intuitive. And over 25 years of Photoshop use has me locked into a way that image editing should work. This is fantastic and timely.

These new steam sites are non functional in Firefox iPhone.

The point that is being made is that you do new things you haven’t done before. Explore!

For example, If you are a gym rat in the morning you can still do that yourself without the other person and then later in the day do the new things you never done before. The other person benefits as well. You don’t always have to be glued to the hip of the other.

What are your differentiators and what are commodities that can be better served by better SaaS alternatives? Whatever you do invest in the differentiators and manage risk (secure and compliant solutions).

It’s more like a bagel, with everything.

When the bagel began it had everything all at once in one place.

Why 8hr? For the entire day eat 5 times and 200 plus grams is very doable. I only have one scoop of whey, and sometimes a bar, but everything else is lean Protein or carbs and fat that also have protein (oats, pb, yogurt)

Your plate should be full of food from the outside edges of the grocery store. If it’s primarily full of food from the isles then you are eating wrong. There are exceptions (rice, oats etc) that are in the isles.
