Don't write code with if statements. You shouldn't be asking questions, you're the boss. Tell the code what to do. Be assertive! Be confident! No doubts, no fear, just code!

Hey there, fellow raccoon fans🦝! I used this weeks polish time to improve this little home.
Can you guess what the job of this cute raccoon NPC is? Wrong answers only!

The engineers who designed the #Voyager probes half a century ago even thought of the possibility that a wrong sequence of commands may point the antenna dish away from earth (like someone did a couple of days ago).

And they implemented a self-adjusting mechanism that a few times a year scans the positions of a few known stars to infer the position of the earth, and point back the antenna in the right direction.

50 years later, these wonderful machines are still working, tens of billions of km away from earth, with only 69 KB of RAM, and even a wrong sequence of commands won't put them out of use, while nowadays 4 GB of RAM aren't even enough to start VsCode or IntelliJ.

The more I understand how they were designed, the more I feel like an early Medieval engineer looking at the Pantheon or other marvels of Roman architecture. Some amazing skills, knowledge and attention to details have been lost from that generation to ours.

We are now live on a new episode of I👔TIE! Today we are interviewing @NewfangledGames' CEO @HenryHoffman! To talk about their upcoming game Paper Trail. Coming to PC, Consoles and #NetflixGames in early 2024! Come check it out!

It certainly does feel like indie developers are losing one of their greatests tools as Twitter morphs into whatever its becoming. Reach has definitely diminished and the interconnectivity of the community has greatly eroded.
