Being a self-funded studio unbeholden to publishers, grants or VCs has both pros and cons. Pro: Nobody can shut us down on a whim. Con: We have to work 10x harder to get noticed. We depend a lot on word-of-mouth marketing. So THANK YOU for signal boosting. Means the world.

As much as we might not want to believe it, America just wasn't ready for that kind of person in the White House. The Democrats need to think twice before ever again nominating a Dreamcast fan

My first solo game SUMMERHOUSE has just released!! I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the feelings, but mostly I'm excited and grateful I got to make this little game. It would mean the world if you could give this a retweet and try the game on Steam 💙🌻 s.team/a/2533960

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry. Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through. I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me. I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

Sixty four years ago in October 1959, The Twilight Zone premiered. As my dad said: The writer’s role is to menace the public’s conscience. He must have a position, a point of view. He must see the arts as a vehicle of social criticism and he must focus on the issues of his time.
