Still remember headbanging hypnotically to Townsends "Grace" about 13 years ago. Metal has always been my main emotional catharsis.

I've always found moshing to be a primal dance, and felt some of my most inner confidence at metal shows.

Now in my mid 30s, starting to see some of my old idols pass -- from Alexi Laiho, Brent Hinds, and Ozzy, it's been rough

Yep, as a metal head who loves to play along to his favorite songs, this is the next frontier I want!

Sadly same here. firefox ran FoundryVTT poorly in the browser, like 12 fps, on Linux. Chromium had 0 issues with it, 60 no problem.

Fun post.

Always great when your debugging feedback is via a led xD

Same habit here!

Ahhh this takes me back to playing on various private UO and DAoC servers. Part of that experience is why I am a developer today. Cool name for a project like this along with the art!

i just started using tailscale and responses like this make me believe in the product. awesome!

I agree with your assessment, as a full stack dev with CS degree that just kinda waltzed into Salesforce for the last 5 years. Claude is more capable at delivering the customizability that Salesforce tried to offer with it's "clicks not code" approach. the only thing these CRMs have going for them is enterprise entrenchment.

I also work at Stripe and will be recommending that we migrate our CPQ off of Salesforce for various reasons (agent force is butt, platform limits are silly in 2025 - 6 meg max heap size for a backend transaction?????).

Right, there's always room for the "exception" in startup land. But majority will fail right? For me personally, it just wasn't worth the risk to jump, especially given this surge of AI right now. Also, already working at a fintech company has shown me that margins can be razor thin/tiny at times, depending on the product. For Mesa, I am guessing they relied upon interchange fees, partnership/commissions, and interest income.

I had an interview request from this company, which I declined after taking a look at the premise. Somewhat glad I did now

That's fair, I've had similar experiences working in other stacks with it. And with some niche stacks, it seems to struggle more. Definitely agree the more narrow the context/problem statement, higher chance of success.

For this project, it described its reasoning well, and knowing my own skillset, and surface level info on how one would start this, it had many good points that made the project not realistic for me.

Agree with this. I'm a software engineer that has mostly not had to manage memory for most of my career.

I asked Opus how hard it would be to port the script extender for Baldurs Gate 3 from Windows to the native Linux Build. It outlined that it would be very difficult for someone without reverse engineering experience, and correctly pointed out they are using different compilers, so it's not a simple mapping exercise. It's recommendation was not to try unless I was a Ghrida master and had lots of time in my hands.

It's 2025, not 1995 or even 2005. Installers for apps like this are tiny for cloud storage today. Cloudfront's recent flat tier pricing would even probably do the trick. free tier is 100gb data transfer a month, 1m requests. If that doesn't work, Pro is 50 tb, 10m requests, that's 15 bucks a month.

Yes - why are these adjectives even coming up at all? There are alternatives that would probably make your point in a succinct manner without being sexist.

Moonlight is great, but be careful about overestimating how fast video decoding is. I would get 10-40ms additional latency, jitter doing moonlight from tv, vs running it on Linux on my mini PC homelab hooked up to the TV, my decoding/network latency was like 1-2ms for a frame
