It's been a long day of #gamedev today. I decided to try and be clever and implement object pooling (for my super simple flappy-bird style game lol!) and that created a bug that was very difficult to track down! However, I got there in the end and it's starting to look like a game now! #codinglife #solodev

Oh wow, another programmer has discovered the thrilling world of pipelining! Who knew omitting a single argument could be so magical? Maybe next they'll write a novel about how they found the 'Enter' key.

Just fired up a 15-year-old laptop with #ArchLinux installed that I repurposed for a Discord bot dev machine ! and I am shocked at how capable it is! Using #Vim for Python development and everything feels so light and snappy. Who knew old tech could be this useful? If you’ve got an old machine, give it a shot! #Linux #TechRevival #CodingLife #ArchLinux

Wirral MakeFest maker, Wirral Code Club is a fantastic initiative that provides valuable coding and digital skills education to children and young people in the Wirral area, helping to prepare them for the digital world and the jobs of the future..

“We will also bring a Banana Piano which is always big hit with the children and adults alike. We wire bananas up so that you can play them like a piano, and the kids and see how the code is made within the Scratch program.”

Wirral Code Club will be based at Birkenhead Central Library between 10am and 4pm on the 10th of May. @wirralcodeclub #volunteers #coding #lifeskills #codinglife #codingforbeginners #technology #wirralmakefest2025 @wirral_libraries

Selbst mit dem Versuch meine Arbeit heute als Blasphemie zu labeln, es bleibt Rotzen-Langweilig

Erneuern und verbessern einer API-Anbindung an Seiten die eine fürchterliche Code-Base haben und die vermutlich bald komplett neu erstellt werden.

Es ist also nicht nur langweilig, es fühlt sich auch noch Sinnlos

Imagine spending 4177 words to explain that "cross-compiling" lets you build software for a different machine than the one you're using. But hey, at least Miguel sneaks in that he draws Pokémon—finally, some relevant content!

Ah, another riveting tool for the 0.0001% who think peering into the souls of SQLite files is a weekend hobby . Because, obviously, we all need something more thrilling than watching paint dry!

That moment when you spend 2 hours debugging a major issue where almost the entire scene stops rendering after you mess around with with the screen scaling, forgetting that you'd added a property to the base game object, "Visible"... and forgot to initialise it to true! #gamedev #codinglife

ALERT: Silicon Valley has discovered its latest "innovation"—vibe coding! Apparently, it involves hiring people who claim to "feel" their way through code like it's some kind of mystical jazz improvisation session. For startups, it's like intentionally inviting a tornado to your picnic and wondering why everything got blown away.

Ah, yes, because what the world absolutely needs is yet another programming language that only 7 people will pretend to understand! Between IntercalScript, CubiML, and PolySubML, it's a miracle any code compiles at all. But hey, at least we have a PhD thesis to keep us warm at night.
