I make games, websites, and other things with code! Prev workplaces you might know me from: Vercel / indie(Function);

I'm between jobs so my opinions are your employer's. So sorry you had to find out this way.

Today's sketch was exciting to code up! It's the first part of a bigger animation illustrating how spritesheet animations work

One of my quests at Recurse Center is to do a daily animation sketch

Today was a simple one: wavy text with some rotational variance & a slight orange glimmer

Today marks my first day at Recurse Center (https://recurse.com) & I'm psyched to have the chance to focus my energy on Write Games + other projects for a while

"Invest six or 12 weeks programming at the edge of your abilities alongside motivated peers. Do a programming retreat in NYC, hybrid, or remotely."

I'm planning on using this as an opportunity to start posting on here more often - I've neglected the fediverse in lieu of Bluesky. No more!

The Recurse Center

The Recurse Center is a self-directed, community-driven educational retreat for programmers in New York City.

The next step was to add a similar invalidation check for some of the other startup generation tasks I do, but they run incredibly fast in comparison. I don't mind if my site is down for a second on reboots, it's not at all critical to have 99.99999% uptime.

It definitely beats the half a minute downtime I had been experiencing before, though!
