I had a lot of fun today after spending two days with @saint11 trying to understand why some sprites were disappearing for exactly one (1) frame and we finally figured out the fix.....

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

I have a few specific songs that I play whenever I need to fix an extremely annoying bug...

as soon as I realize it's One Of Those, I just put on my headphones, crank up the volume, and listen on repeat until it's fixed.

paying the price for all the build scripts that I didn't bother documenting because "that's way too easy I don't have to write this down"

There were layoffs at MS yesterday and 3 #Python core devs from the Faster CPython team were caught in them. If you know of any jobs, please send them their way (they kind of know Python, CPython, and its internals well 😉):

still recovering after finally figuring out what was causing a bug in our game today.

I was serializing the object itself instead of the object id, so I ended up with two separate instances of the same object when loading from save, so I'd update the wrong instance but just *in some spots*.

it got to a point that I was plotting conspiracy theories around race conditions and logging nonsensical error messages to sanity check myself.

anyway this is my idea of a fun holiday season
