Which model were you using? I’ve had significant success working through both new and existing ideas with Claude. It has particularly shortened the time between concept and initial play testing. And though I’m not hugely experienced in developing games (not published), I’m getting the early prototypes to the table in a more complete state.
Also has helped me reboot some ideas that have been stuck for a while. My experience is it’s like someone else in the room to talk things thru.

Sign the petition. Protect VPN use in the UK https://action.openrightsgroup.org/tell-government-protect-vpn-use-uk

Tell the Government: Protect VPN use in the UK

Take action! Protect VPN use in the UK VPNs help people to stay private and safe online. Young people use them to avoid harassment, or protect location data. Companies use them to make sure remote log-in to their networks are secure. Journalists, campaigners and whistle blowers use them to protect their work and themselves. But the Government wants to force people to verify their age when they buy a VPN. This will deter people from using VPNs to stay safe and secure online. Why are the government proposing restrictions to accessing VPNs?

Yup… working on multiple simultaneous projects consistently for months and suddenly only recently hitting limits.

That thing when you are fortunate to have amazing coffee close to home but have to spend time in small-town, non-tourist Cornwall hunting down a barely adequate flat white.

This isn't your normal "looking for work" post.

I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work.

If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

Nothing full time. Personal recommendations preferred. Feel free to share.

> The leak, which Meta confirmed, happened when an employee asked for guidance on an engineering problem on an internal forum. An AI agent responded with a solution, which the employee implemented – causing a large amount of sensitive user and company data to be exposed to its engineers for two hours.

lol and - furthermore - lmao

This weekend’s tech project has been to build an auto-running crypto tool that uses standard methodologies to trade based on a variety of triggers.
I only have <£250 in BTC, having lost 26% in the recent drops.
I ran this tool through the BTC from the last six months and it would have reduced my losses to just 11%. Amazing.
It has strategies to buy for growth but also to protect when things appear to be going down the drain. It can use Kraken API, but not letting it loose just yet!
