Other than that: Backend developer, 0 games made, 0 games planned, but some interest in modding.

@jacqueline@chaos.social to be honest, if you throw out all the AI marketing speech away, it's not even that bad of a plan. They're:
- 10x-ing their infrastructure
- Keeping engineering teams small and end-to-end responsible
- Adding new APIs to explore the codebase
- Improving authentication infrastructure
I feel like there was an engineer behind that plan who was like, "yeah you can throw in agentic AI bullshit, but I'm building for humans"
My life is going in the right direction. Kind of unbelievable, given everything, but it did indeed turn. Turns out, there is a lot to enjoy.

@Amorpheus@kind.social @djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place I feel like only experiencing curiosity when looking at art is not the standard experience. I sure feel a whole range of emotions.

@soller@floss.social a major goal of any free software project is to not burn out its maintainers, and LLM contributions tend to go against that. Among other things.
"AI hater -> AI cautiously curious -> AI hater" pipeline

@oven@mastodon.gamedev.place nah, wayland is underbaked just as it ever was. You get at most a "good enough" experience

@stefanie @ditsch42 @ubernostrum is there anything that calculator allows you to do that couldn't be done without it?
The answer is no.
This must mean calculators are a scam by Big Calculator.

@bitinn@mastodon.gamedev.place as soon as I see the word "personalized" I know what is going on. What a time to be alive...

@soller@floss.social Same. Though, to be honest, it's more of a pessimism regarding the future in general.

@hermlon@yuustan.space @jacqueline@chaos.social there will always be layoffs, whether it's "we decided we don't need you anymore" or "these pesky developers just don't understand the greatness of AI and decided to leave voluntarily". Sure layoffs bad and sure AI is easy to blame, but like, look behind the investor speech.
I'm not saying it's not madness, I'm just saying there is method to this madness, and if they will get to the other side, they will also get human-centric features out of it.
