Valve really needs to do a Source 2 relaunch of L4D - it’s still the best game of its genre
Loom set up day! Who needs a dining table when you can have a loom? 😆
The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

If I had to identify a list of skills in high impact engineers, it would include:
- ecological awe

- cross functional communication
- resilience engineering
- marketing and sales
(“Technical skills” aren’t in my top ten)
*exception being a 2nd monitor turned vertically for Outlook, Slack, YouTube, etc.
Otherwise give me a single ultrawide over 2 or 3 “normal” monitors any day
I alternate between laptop and ultrawide.
Anytime I’m doing lots of comparisons or copy pastes the ultrawide is a life saver.
I find I’m least productive on multi monitor setup*

over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)
finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.
enjoy. cabel.com/wes-cook-and...
Given the context I would hope readers know that I was using shorthand.
Ah is that one that just dropped? I’ll back to take it for a spin today!

Or are your results with Claude much better than mine?
I mean it’s pretty great but it feels like flipping a coin whether it will generate something useful or confusingly unhelpful
