Agentic coding allows more people to participate in software creation; however, it should be evident to anyone serious that someone gain more leverage when they know the real steps of software creation. I benefit from knowing how to create software the artisanal way from the before time. I want to share something that I still… Continue reading Human Touch in an Agentic Codebase

Treemand (aallbrig/treemand) is a project I’m very proud of. I’ve published developer documentation for using the CLI. Treemand allows a dev to check out any CLI in either a human readable format ((colorized) ascii tree with compressed command anatomy notation) or a programatically readable format (json, xml, yaml, etc). It features an interactive mode too.… Continue reading Treemand/Anthem World Project Check-in

I’m really embracing agentic programming. The coding models have gotten good enough and I’ve obtained enough experience to know what sort of tools to give my agent access to so it can check its work when it stumbles. Bonus: I’m using PeonPing/peon-ping to help me maintain multiple agents while making programming even more like an… Continue reading Small List of What I’m Working On

I remember playing couch co-op with family and friends, eagerly fragging my older brother while romping through the rings of Halo and playing so many games with so many friends. This is how many gamers are introduced to some of their favorite titles, or at least used to be! But there’s another casualty of losing… Continue reading Local Multiplayer: The Missing Step for Mastering Multiplayer Game Dev

TIL: godot/unity/unreal don’t let you write code for when a process lifecycle signal is sent to the running process. That means if you’re running a godot game server process as a systemd service and decide to “systemctl stop” the running server instance, you can’t write GDscript to catch that “graceful shutdown request (SIGTERM)” signal! One… Continue reading Thoughts on catching process lifecycle signals for running game server processes

Grokipedia is a new contender in the encyclopedia space. The website represents an AI curated knowledge set that is currently accessed via a search input. Obviously I sought to see how it handled topics I hold near and dear: game programming. The articles I browsed were as follows I must declare that the Video Game… Continue reading Impressed with Grokipedia’s Game Programming Articles

AI usage among programmers has only increased since its introduction. We began with a chat interface that we could query, craft program solutions, and copy + paste into our projects. Then we got AI assisted development patterns where the AI could sit in your editor and provide suggestions. We’re at a stage now where its… Continue reading Local-first, Offline-first Programming with AI: When?
