Full stack developer at my day job - other than that I make video games and gamedev tools.

I made a super hard arcade game 'Rockade!' currently working on an Asset Manager for GameDevs called 'Orlop'

What's YOUR favorite tech innovation?

@jason explains that the popular double-diamond model for design is flawed because it assumes the problem and solution spaces are separate

Orlop Asset Manager v1.1 now shows pretty previews and a play animation for audio assets. 💅
Also, everybody loves checkered backgrounds for transparent images, so I added this as well. Enjoy!

Nice find! Works surprisingly well on iPad ❤️
At first I thought I messed up the keyframes in #blender3d but apparently quicktime player can't handle looping videos well... 🤷‍♂️

The 3D model viewer of my Asset Manager is getting some more advanced preview options 🤖

@mattwagl Nice!

If you need checkered tiles instead of only the grid lines, there's this nice one liner:

body {
background: repeating-conic-gradient(#0F0 0% 25%, #F00 0% 50% 50% / 24px 24px;
}

New on the blog: Programmers Have a Lot on Their Minds

When 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know was published, all the contributions were available online under Creative Commons Attribution. The Preface was not part of the set of contributions and was not previously online.

I often still quote from it, as I think there are some good general points about software development, so I've finally got round to making it available online.
