Episode 3 is out, more cars, more detail and some racing rules. What are you tinkering with this Saturday? 🏁

How many sites have you visited that are down? Likely because of the PHP exploit

Seeing people take PHP out of their linked in bios. Good call or too soon 👀

I remember really enjoying Toca 2 so I'm in the process of vibe coding a replacement I can enjoy in the browser

So how is everyone checking if their PHP server got compromised before being patched?

Well that was a busy Wednesday 😴

Wonder if I can crack 4k followers by the new year 👋

Whats with the interesting bag tweets with image. My timeline is full of them, where is the interesting stuff!

In a new racing game, what brand cars would you want to drive that exist already? Comment others that aren't in the list if there is a different brand...

Episode 2 is out, started to add some graphic detail and some actual racing around an actual circuit 🏁

Quiet day today, may have over done it yesterday on 2 Claude Max accounts, now waiting for my Monday morning reset 🤪

Time to build a game I'd enjoy, a driving game made for me. 🏁 In just a few build sessions with Claude, this browser racing sim went from a blank scene to a car completing a lap. Here’s how it’s coming together - and what I’m building next. Episode 1 of 15. #gamedev #indiedev

It's the weekend so time to turn the agents to some fun projects. What are you getting Opus and Fable to do this weekend?

I totally agree but also maybe I'm more paranoid. Coming from an era where control wasn't issued to a single user. Never have credentials anywhere that have that much power, split roles and responsibilities so dropping a database isn't the same user that inserts/updates/deletes rows and ensure that drop user isn't used by any "script" access. Also log actions so you can more easily discover how things happen to improve over time 🙇

I'm David 👋 43, London, dad of 3, day job at a charity. At night I build stuff 🧑‍💻 22 side projects so far and they make £10 a month between them. 🫣 So this month I've stopped building and I'm trying to actually sell them, in public, to clear about £45k of debt 🫨 If you're building after hours too, say hi and tell me what yours is 👇

Why doesn't every website use magic links to access your profile?

Port all your projects into Rust. Use all your credits if you have to 😄
