I was thinking the same thing: why is everyone reinventing emacs? gnu and emacs already have a long history of cli and text friendly solutions that LLM dev agents can easily use and are trained on. Or for structured data, just use a databas

Agreed that picking the right size of work is critical. I didn't know about Kiro specs. I've been playing around with my own org-mode based approach with mixed success in keeping dev agent work tracked: https://github.c

Last year, my startup launched Retail Mage as our first answer to the question of if there was any point in introducing ML/GenAI into the real-time gameplay loop. I hope this to be the first of a series of articles on what we learned.

When I look back at it, Dugin was right back in November: "So we have won. That is decisive. The world will be never ever like before. Globalists have lost their final combat. The future is finally open. I am really happy." https

These are the FP8 distilled versions of DeepSeek we've started testing at Jam & Tea. We use LLMs for real-time gameplay. We released Retail Mage last year on Steam as a tech demo of what we can do. We've found FP8 to be the cu

Everything swatcoder suggested in his comment is good. I just want to add/emphasize: If you don't actively stay up with the tech, your understanding will atrophy. Consequently, because you intend to remain a PM, your tech will nev

Looks impressive. Like some others, I'm getting the bug that says "You are already connected" when I try to play. That said, this is still good work, especially considering your experience and age (I checked out your 2D physi

Sometimes I’ve thought of creating physical cards or a binder or something like that which would act as a physical representation of my digital ebook library so that I and others could quickly peruse it.
