Speaking of which, I need a lawyer to draft a standard contract and anti-AI clause for my game studio as a whole. Working with artists and programmers all over the world and several continents at this point, but I am based in New York City. Can anyone help/recommend someone? #GetFediHired #indiedev #gamedev
I already significantly upped my tea tolerance on this trip but I'm not sure how much I'll sleep tonight...
The Taiwan tea buying experience.
Walk into a shop, owner starts brewing tea. You spend an hour chatting while sipping tiny cup after tiny cup. Owner opens a second packet, then a third. You now have three small cups in front of you that continually get refilled with each successive brew. You get offered fruit and snacks.
You walk out absolutely buzzing, practically bouncing off the walls, with a kilo of tea in your hands and a bunch of complimentary extras thrown in.
Rode lijn demonstratie in Amsterdam zondag.
Hoop jullie te zien.
Hey, “Midnight Diner” is back after a long break. Netflix. If you haven't heard of it, go start at S1. Short little episodes, often absurdly sentimental, but so well done.

Beautiful on the ground reporting from Serbia, about the student movement that managed to win the election over the strongman autocrat. If you'd like something hopeful to listen to then give it a click! From one of my favourite podcasts, @europeanspodcast
I'm not saying it's going to go away again, but I also don't see things staying the way they are, with virtually every developer being expected to just uncritically cranck out slop.
It feels like maybe AI coding is at its peak of inflated expectations? Or am I just being overly optimistic (as is my tendency)...
We won't know how this whole thing shakes out until LLM vendors charge the real cost... And how big will the market then really be, how many providers will it be able to sustain?
Meanwhile new examples daily of software going wrong in new and horrid ways. But it also seems that the true believer CEOs will hold on to their convictions come what may.
So what happens next? Where are we going?
It is a real shame I don't have more friends who are into good tea cause I am bringing back ALL the tea leaves. Oh well more delicious tea for me I guess...
This way people can immediately see if it might be feasible for them to attend. Only then will they take a closer look to see if they would want to. If it takes more than five seconds to find this information, they are gone.
Event organisers, I beg you, if you have any social media account, then please put the date and location of the event in the bio (or even in the username)
我一個禮拜在台灣已經胖得上不了飛機
One for my fedi railway nerds (you know who you are) :)
Yesterday I visited the Miaoli Railway Museum in Taiwan. They had this steam engine from the Japanese era. Unfortunately no English Wikipedia but you can translate the Chinese one.

There was also a narrow guage diesel engine that was part of the old sugar railways.

One of those signs that raises more questions than it answers.

Thinking about alternative career paths, which is pretty dumb cause I'm pretty fucking good at what I do... Who else is in that boat?
