one of the biggest issues with interface design is the tendency for designers (and capital) to optimize for ease-of-use or conforming to the user’s existing mental model and muscle memory
the user’s model, memory, & expectations were fabricated by silicon valley & often need to be disrupted/changed
the solution, in other words, is to accurately explain how things work without silly metaphors, but in a way that is accessible to people so that they can actually build core knowledge without having to get deep into the sauce
A defining aspect of building on a post-app protocol is that we can start shaping rich digital spaces around a community’s needs instead of forcing constant context-switching between apps because “the market” only thinks it’s profitable to hyperscale siloed media experiences through network effects.
I have been prototyping a project related to this recently. Maybe I'm not the only one haha
yeah. i did a demo of the beta version of my atproto library, jacquard, visualizing Jetstream, all events from atproto, using bevy. and it also doubled as my presentation. it watched a markdown file and displayed them as slides when I tapped a key.

sad that blitzcrank looks hilarious because I don't wanna play 2xko
I'm bummed I can't make it... Have a great time!
nah it was arbitrarily chosen, sorry (but wp for your guess)
I may only have 0.7s till cooldowns are up but the party is GETTING that message
What are the latest developments in the developer experience of experienced developers developing experiences?
does anyone know the actual name of the genre that only comes into my brain as "pixar jazz"
think it's time for the dislike button
The bigger issue here is that phones and touchscreen devices in general encourage informational passivity.
They invite you to consume, not to do research & creative knowledge work (breaking down informational sources, combining disparate pieces of info from different sources, reconstituting)
New blog post + cargo-semver-checks v0.42 is out ✨
I found some unexspected sharp edges in the `#[target_feature]` attribute. They are getting fixed (teamwork! 🤜🤛), and cargo-semver-checks now also has lints to save you from footguns!

Especially since in a game project there will frequently be >3 different kinds of macros on a given struct
I often do separate lines for derives by source -- e.g. std, bevy, serde on different lines, in a consistent order. Makes it much easier to understand what is implemented at a glance.
I would like to formally request that all apps please stop being everything apps and be, instead, only-one-thing apps
Bummer - I'm traveling during the #bevyjam this year :( good luck to all participants!
