I mean the Handmade hero game

Did Casey ever finish the video series?

To be honest there isn't really one, a lot of these concepts are advanced even for graphics programmers

You don't have to use the same solution for work and personal notes

What I realized at least for me is that work notes and personal notes are two different use cases

The .txt file approach works for work stuff because I never need to reference it on mobile, if I'm doing software development I need to be on a computer anyway.

Whereas personal stuff I need an actual notetaking app like Notion for the mobile usability

I've done the same thing for a long time

The only extra thing is I set up autohotkey macros

For example typing $today or $yesterday will insert the date with a dividing line underneath to separate days into clear blocks

I've tried a lot of different note apps and what I eventually realized is that when it comes to work, I generally don't actually care about old notes 98% of the time.

I only really care about the last week or two and when everything is in one file its optimized for viewing that, like a working memory.

The text file ends up gigantic but its still small data for a computer even after many years of adding to a single file and searching is still fast.

Every time I see an article like this I ask the same question: show me the money?

If it’s so good why hasn’t it made you rich?

Not everyone is building web apps/web services

The more niche the thing you’re working on the worse results I’ve found these tools to give

These articles act like creating new demo apps or isolated tools is what software development is all about

Have you considered the idea that it is just exaggerating to make a point and isn’t meant to be taken literally?

Exaggeration is a common technique employed in human language for emphasis.

Exactly, the whole process is a business itself

I’ve never seen that in my entire life

It’s not foveated rendering, it’s foveated streaming

To be fair its obviously not meant for professional work

Valve is a game company

Educational visualization seems like a really good use case for GS

Ripping through single track forest trails on 2-stroke dirt bikes

I joke that it’s the most opposite activity from programming

Yeah for me figuring out _what_ to build and estimating it are the biggest problems day to day

I’ve found that as well

It’s a good idea to take some time to understand how the official language docs are organized so that you can just jump there straight away and bypass all the noise

I’ve noticed that as well with README’s

Sometimes you come upon a library and it tells you what it does but there is no explanation or context on why you would want to use it

That is an interesting idea, like a universal bug tracker

If you could report a bug on any product/project and it’s up to the users to open/verify/close it

Could put pressure on companies to improve quality since the number of bugs is public

I tried knocking on my wall 100,000 times and it did indeed cause a disturbance in the neighbouring cell of my apartment

Turns out this whole virtualized house abstraction is a sham

That does not follow

It’s possible to apply systems, frameworks, or categorizations that are actually wrong or overstated

I find it entertaining and view it more as a writing device

The author obviously adds some exaggeration to get the point across

I don’t think they actually think everyone does this

The phrase “outdated tech stack from 2022” is kind of hilarious

Out of date after only 3 years?

3d graphics programming

I can definitely see this being used for lower end advertising

I’ve noticed ads with AI voices already, but having it lip synced with someone talking in a video really sells it more

HDR on desktop in windows looks straight up broken on some HDR monitors I’ve tried

Like totally washed out

But they can’t make the product for that price so what’s the point?

Wait till you hear about UK masters degrees

This is surprisingly popular among programmers
