I believe this will eventually be recognized as the obviously correct pattern

it is said that when the singularity comes, _why The Lucky Stiff will return

but like. Steve Yegge 2007 vs Steve Yegge 2026

yeah I have a Rails project
untouched by human hands

literally the same people in many cases

amen

literally every modern product

i remember someone on MTV in the 90s saying that they blurred brand logos in music videos because they didn’t want to run ads for products unless those companies paid up

Bohmian interpretation of QF though

the new “channels” feature is what sealed it for me. boss Claude talks to me over Telegram, worker Claudes talk to the boss over a new channel that we wrote yesterday. And they’re all just windows in a tmux

I just hit Yegge Stage 8
it’s like launching the rocket in Factorio
now what

COOL

and I just added some timing fixes so the animations work better

today I added cellphone support, so you can play it on a tiny screen!

word of the day: botsplained

brb rewriting my gastown in elixir

oops I forgot to make the source public. fixed now

today, like this morning, in a couple hours, claude and I wrote a minimal BASIC interpreter that emulates Z-100 graphics in a browser canvas. It's playable. The timing probably isn't perfect but you can get a feel for it. worm-bas.pages.dev

this is the graphics for the worm/snake parts that Jan designed. I still love them

WORM.BAS was my favorite game. It was written by www.unixpapa.com Jan Wolter, who had written it as port of unix SNAKE but with better graphics. Jan died in 2015.

the fun part is it didn't distinguish graphics mode from text mode. so you'd be in DOS and could have lines and charts and stuff overlayed on top. And you could reprogram the ASCII characters on the fly to make a sort of sprite set

it ran on the Zenith Z-100, which was a weird little box with a built-in screen, ran a version of DOS wasn't quite PC compatible, but did have an Intel 8088 chip like a PC has

wildest thing I've vibecoded. so I've been carrying around the source code for a game that ran on a computer my dad owned in the 1980s github.com/jes5199/worm...

as someone who took the LSAT recreationally…

I’m not even sure this is bad! maybe think of it as an illustrated companion to the story, but not the story itself

if you’ve read the book you might not notice the difference because the movie hits all of the plot beats in the same order

project hail mary the book is about a guy in a series of crisis situations, who uses problem solving skills to get out of them

project hail mary the movie is about a guy in a series of crisis situations.

I definitely had a _why didn’t i think of that_ reaction - I’ve tried to make a random number hardware device before, and I’ve done several rounds of “what if EVERY divination system”. but I hadn’t thought to combine them??

COOOOOL

when I say that something is universally true I mean my personal universe
