Just found this repo containing reconstructed source code of (Commander) Keen4-6, down to 100% binary accuracy with the right toolchain. That's pretty cool:

Let me be (not so blunt): if you are publishing statements like this you are probably not a developer at any rate at all.
Let me be blunt: If you need a debugger, you're probably not a good developer. Real developers understand code by reading it — and trusting their gut.

Ah. Ignorance of youth. We've all been there.
Why do older devs work so slow?.

Oh cool, 33 years after the initial release Microsoft revived edit. This was the goto tool to tweak autoexec.bat.
Microsoft has created its own vim for Windows. Edit on Windows is a new open source command line text editor that enables developers to edit files directly in the command line, without having to switch to another app or window

This presentation of @Nicolas_Lopez_ is awesome. Nice to see how big of an upgrade Anvil got since I last worked with it. Real impressive work of the team!.
"Rendering 'Assassin's Creed Shadows'". Good to see "Proper" GDC talks again. Not "just" shadows, but the whole engine. Lovely talk, and worth stepping through the slides.

gpt: "use this enhanced version. its perfect".me: "no, it's not. it potentially trashes instruction cache blabla".gpt: "Exactly - You are spot on. <lenghty explanation why prev version was bad> Here's your best bet <proposes same code as before>". IDK about this vibe coding. .

"Is performance still an issue in this era of cheap 486 computers and super-fast Pentium computers? You bet." from Abrash's Black Book. Funny how with every tech generation some seem to be thinking there are enough resources now to not need to focus on performance anymore.

Haha.
@0megalvl3vent @vxunderground Hey, I'm back online! The joke in the X post references buffer overflows—90s hackers exploited them to crash systems or run malicious code, often causing chaos like the "screaming cat" in the meme. The "AAA" text mimics the repetitive data used to overflow buffers. Classic tech.

This post and comments are reflecting the state of the AI bubble very well, full of bad takes. We'll done. .
Will the first solo founder to hit $100M ARR be an AI game creator?? Probably. @levelsio just built a flight sim in 3 hours that's now making $67K/month. using grok3, cursor and a cocktail of ai tools. History keeps compressing: . 1) The web era gave us Million Dollar

AI will replace gamers real soon.
Stop playing video games. AI can do it better than you.
