This is sick but sad that it has to live in that open office cubicle world :[

Just sucks that instead of buying a piece of software now we're going to send $100/mo to an AI giant so we can build our own crappier bespoke apps.

Perfect for a big splashy press release. Populist policy with no practical benefit to the average American.

The 2024 D&D starter set literally has 3 adventure books for Wilderness (Outside), Caves of Chaos (Dungeon), and Keep on the Borderlands (Town). Of course that game has infinite possibilities for how to 'implement' those areas but kind of an interesting parallel.

New comment by robotsquidward in "OctoNote: GitHub-powered Markdown notes – revived"

robotsquidward — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:04:02 +0000

After almost 5 years of lying dormant, I finally pushed an update to my iOS note-taking app — OctoNote!

OctoNote is a simple markdown-based note taking app that saves your notes as GitHub gists. This makes them easy to share, to edit on the web, and to maintain a rich editing history - since every gist is a little git repo. OctoNote basically enables a specific gist workflow - using gists to create & edit markdown files in the context of note-taking. If you're a developer who's already using GitHub (or has ever written a nice README), OctoNote should feel right at home in your workflow.

Just happy to share that I've been able to get this release out the door amid a crazy holiday schedule. Hope some of you might enjoy it!

I love the sound of employees being more 'load bearing'. Meta seems like a fun place to work for (for however many months you last).

It's insanely impressive. At the same time, all these videos all look terrible to me. Still get extreme uncanny valley and literally makes me sick to my stomach.

New comment by robotsquidward in "Should managers still code?"

robotsquidward — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:37:16 +0000

My best managers were ex-engineers who didn't touch the codebase. They understood how things worked, and could talk architecture & concepts, but they didn't expect to be able to sit down and write code at our level. Maybe they wished they would have the time/opportunity still, but realistically they were focused on leading.

The article goes into that in depth, and how that hasn't really changed even on newer platforms like TikTok, just gotten harder to follow and understand.

robotsquidward — Sun, 17 Dec 2023 15:32:23 +0000

Well articulated thoughts that are mostly detached from the eye-grabbing headline.

Good PM's are important. Building product-focused teams is important. More of anything != more better. Duh.

Any TC heads in here? Just reminds me of Jake getting Covid at a Cheesecake Factory eating nachos before seeing Tar with his brother.
