Been toying with the idea of an isometric map editor that outputs real 3d positioning to make those SRPG maps less of a pain! Author in 3d with tile approximations while seeing a live preview. Very basic right now and not sure how far I'll go, but a fun detour. #gamedev #srpg

Stop obsessing over splitting code into files. I end up grepping codebases anyway. I literally don't care where you put your functions. miniaudio.h is a single file with 92k LOC and it's fine. File is an OS construct anyway.

WE DID IT 🤩🤩 The first step towards TypeScript support in Node.js landed. It's only the first iteration, and it's not supporting many of the features we want. This is just the beginning 🤠 github.com/nodejs/node/pull/…

currently living two lives: one paralysed in abject horror at the atrocities going on one functioning somewhat as normal as i keep needing to work, parent, maintain my mental health to keep doing those things but the horror. our language doesn’t have words. this is void.
