New blog post almost done. I think you all will learn something, and that thing is that I’ve not improved at writing at all since the AltDevBlog days!

at the time of writing for AltDevBlog I think I had around five years games industry experience. FIVE YEARS! That’s insane! I was basically just some random kid with no experience pretending to be an expert. Where did this bravery come from? More importantly where did it go?

Wait, what? It’s been ten years since AltDevBlog?! I... don’t think want to think about the implications of that. (But I would like to read your GPU post if you don’t mind woefully-under-qualified proofreaders.)

AltDevBlog was the best, I _think_ I somehow managed to end up with first post on that.

Almost done with my GPU blog post. Its been a decade since AltDevBlog and I'd forgotten how utterly terrible I am at writing. I can't put together a clear concise description of my GPU to save my life, and its really stressful and not fun trying. At least I have lots of pictures?

Reading old post about #altdevblog I found this joke: "your code is so overengineered, that even Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides cant understand it." 😂😂

Got reminder just how much of my career I owe to the old @AltDevBlog family (and specifically @mike_acton ) this afternoon. Most folks have forgotten what an absolute treasure trove that site was

Second that. A video version of AltDevBlog would be great, and this sounds just like it.

A video version of AltDevBlog with slides including fuck yeah I would love to do that. YouTube is my favourite format for that. <3

Same with AltDevBlog which has been a treasure pile of knowledge for when I started programming. Now sadly dead.

I did in 2011, then went back to AAA after I ran out of £. I wrote an altdevblog article a few years ago, but the site is down
