I love the mention in the job roles about game experience and your business hours. :)

I'm not the person who responded to you but I hope they're able to help her and she's okay.

And thank you for the article - it was a good read. I still see folks in my org playing "throw spaghetti at the wall and see what works" and getting frustrated so plan mode (mostly point 2) has been their guardrails almost as much as for the AI.

I often refer to this as word salad and have for the moment written some guardrails as an attempt to keep claude/gpt/whatever from outputting this sort of text. Claude especially likes to ignore the guardrails though. I've tried a few skills as well but it too easily will avoid those as well.

It reminds me of some TV show or Hollywood movie where the nerdy tech person says gibberish and the word "mainframe" a few times, and the main characters have to say "In English please?" I feel like the main character when reading some of these AI-isms.

thanks for trying, it could be a lot of requests hitting it? I haven't seen that issue yet but if you got any kind of console error feel free to share it with me and I can take a look!

Thanks, I used Phaser to build it. The nebula textures are exported from art I did in Photoshop using some cloud brushes from brusheezy. It has a few dozen color palettes that it chooses at random that are used for the connections and the final nebula art.

Super kind of you, thank you.

Good to hear! Looking forward to the updates. Thanks for making a simple, non-invasive app.

I've found the posture and blink reminders have been really helpful. I do find myself having to postpone the breaks because they like to pop up when I'm in deep focus. Thing is, I never really mark when I'm in deep focus because I honestly don't realize it when it happens, so it's hard to provide a constructive solution for this app around that.

I haven't seen it in the settings but some "drink water" reminders or just customizing those would be great.

Yep. Maybe there's some additional configuration I'm missing to mitigate the delay but clients don't seem to want to deal with the delay with STT -> Prompt -> TTS. They'll happily suffer occasional quality issues if the conversation feels "real".

> for video game assets this is massive.

Storefronts like Steam require disclosing use of AI assets for art. In most indie dev spaces, devs are scolded for using AI art in their games. I wonder if this perspective will change in a few years.

Too often I read something frontend related on HN and am disappointed to find it’s full of hyperbole and/or just a lack of experience or knowledge at what having an actual job writing code on the frontend of a real software customers pay for is like. And half the time their “solution” is swapping out some predetermined mashup stack (usually nonsensical or worse, thrown together by a first year grad) for some other trendy tech.

It feels like the jquery years all over again when the landscape was filled with frontend influencers peddling their speaking services to talk about their naming semantics for css or whatever.

Not saying complexity doesn’t exist and maybe some of it isn’t needed but a surface level blog post that conveniently smooths over all the nuances and problems developers encounter in the real world doesnt do much for me. At worse it just adds to the pile of misinformation about front end in non toy applications.

Many designers stuck with Photoshop sadly. Back when I did agency work it was absolutely normal to get PSDs of mockups.

These people existed in the Apollo era just not on a website. We weren't exactly living in a utopia then either and you'd have difficulty convincing some folks to be excited about space exploration then too.

Some people feel their outlook on the world takes precedence. And they'll shit in other people's celebrations to get their point across. Best to downvote or ignore them and embrace what nuance you can find.
