Tech optimist, web lover. Software dev is a solved problem. Never personalize the problem.

I never understood why we stopped using bsd inits.

If you've ever wanted to see the source code for the Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) packages in #OracleSolaris, I have a blog post just for you!

Tempted to write a post that software development lost the plot a long time ago, and that the recent LLM developments are merely the icing on that cake. Software these days is not the painstaking work by people like @bagder or @hyc or @vitaut who write the best code they possibly can. Over the past decade, "the software world" has been developing in a very different way than that.
Slightly disappointed that the new Firefly is an animated series.
As a general media literacy tip: If the claim is that someone used "AI" or "ChatGPT" to do something, the real story is probably something else.

Some work for my next game that I wasn't looking forward to: upgrading the automap with a scrollable viewing area to support bigger levels. I actually didn't need to add a whole lot of code, though. It was mostly updating a bunch of finicky math to work for a more general case.

ML1 was locked to 16x16 maps, but I can make them much bigger now. 🤔

It’s becoming real... When you build clean interfaces from the ground up, the next GUI is not magic. It is a concrete architectural vision, solid technical design, and a few prompts away...

👀 📊 Las cárceles de Cataluña son, con diferencia, las que más recurren al aislamiento como castigo.

Entre el 2000 y el primer semestre de 2025, el número de sanciones de aislamiento en las cárceles catalanas aumentó casi un 61%, mientras bajaba un 88% en las administradas por el Ministerio del Interior.

En 2025, la diferencia entre las tres administraciones se ha pronunciado más. Mientras bajan en las cárceles de la AGE, en Cataluña siguen subiendo.
