Thanks @jwz and anyone else involved on here, except pmarca

i don't think i ever posted an #Introduction

i'm ben🌱ui, i like writing #UnrealEngine tutorials, mostly about #ui and programming. i've been in the industry for 8-ish years, working in tokyo, paris and now vancouver.

i'm like someone hit "default" on the "over-represented programmer character creator", so i'm trying to mentor to pay it forward, if you ever have questions about the industry you can always message me ♥

we're almost to 2023 and most newsrooms still have no idea how to respond to criticism from bad-faith actors. it's frustrating beyond belief.

Hi and welcome! 👋

I'm Gina aka foosel. I'm a nerd, full-time open source maintainer and creator of OctoPrint ("the snappy web interface for your 3d printer"), and in my free time I also happen to game (video games and boardgames), bake bread (since before the pandemic even!) or go bouldering.

Something about this setup just feels so right

The #Gnome #openweather extension is really well done. #Fedora

Here’s a poem in the shape of a Christmas tree. It’s called ‘Needles’.

Lisp: these are the fine artifacts of old. sometimes when you are not looking it creeps in to your life. but, sometimes, it's just clojure.
Lua: i'm not actually supposed to be here but someone decided to build a small universe entirely out of paperclips and it works somehow
Erlang: have they found out i run the internet yet
Rust: :blobcrab: rewrite it in rust! then die waiting for it to compile
C/C++: :blobcatdevil: why yes, we did find out how to transceive satan directly in computer form [crashes]

2.5 years ago I took yet another shot at learning programming for games, so I can develop my goofy ideas without bothering anyone. It was fun at times, but largely frustrating, as I kept hitting walls I couldn't climb.

I tried finishing something simple; I tried porting/demaking; I tried reworking an existing codebase—but I never *finished* a single game.

This year, I'm "giving up" in what I think is the right way: pairing up with programmers once again. That has worked for me in the past!

Hey @pixelherodev,

Do you have a recommended C Programming book?
I've learned the very basics, but I'd like a proper intro to it. I'd love to be able to understand FOSS code well.

Normal people: spend a day doing something manually once
Developers: spend a few weeks automating something they do once

“People who have to wake up by a certain time no matter how much sleep they get or what their natural sleep cycle is are tired,” wow
