Vanilla latte cake.
Latte art on a cake is so much easier than latte art in a latte.

If you hate store-bought plastic wrap as much as I do, treat yourself and get this commercial foodservice film. It's huge but it works brilliantly.
My wife thinks I'm insane but I've never been happier. Life is too short to deal with shitty plastic wrap.

If you want your bot to seem human, you need to dial down the positivity.

My 2024 resolutions:
1. Design a board game
2. Host the very first Indie Party event
#1 probably won't happen. Le sigh.
#2 starts next week! π π

The most flattering thing a stranger has ever said to me on the internet.
Because it's the ONLY way to raise a world tyrant properly.
I have not found a magic formula for delivering effective PR feedback.
Everyone is different, so the delivery depends on the recipient.
Some people respond better to terse feedback, some people need long explanations.
Some people are very defensive, some are too willing to change things they don't need to and should stand their ground.
Some people want to get better and learn, some just want to get their thing done.
This is what forever makes collaborative coding both challenging and rewarding.

Skill gap is more pronounced in Res Arcana than in any other game I know.
After playing with me one time, nobody wants to play anymore. Nobody.
Res Arcana is a soul crusher.

Inertia is underrated.
A body in motion tends to stay in motion.
So if you're having trouble starting a hard thing:
ποΈ Get going on something else that's easier.
π Keep moving - stay in motion.
β·οΈ That hard thing will feel like it's downhill, because you're already moving.

For anyone out there interested in game design, I really enjoy following Justin Gary's newsletter and podcast.
His team at Stone Blade studio is running a mastery course and I bet it's π₯ π₯ π₯
I'd do it but September is a super busy month for me.

The Wayback Machine is a gold mine for researching the history of a brand.
1. Find a brand that's where you want to be in 3-5 years.
2. Plug their domain into the Wayback Machine.
3. Walk through the evolution of their messaging, value props, everything.
You'll learn a ton.

When I asked my wife if I could eat the tomatoes from the garden, she fell in love with me all over again.
We grew our own San Marzano tomatoes in the garden this year and I can tell you these tomatoes in your pizza sauce are π§βπ³ π€
What are your favorite indie board games?
Curious to hear from frontend devs on this.
Have you ever paid money to participate in a hackathon or other builder/creator event?
This first round of Indie Party is free but I'm trying to find sustainability due to the cost and time required to run it.
An entry fee would mean participants have maximum creative freedom.
Sponsorships could make it free but often mean you need to use the sponsor's tools (not ideal).

Warpcast is gaslighting me.
This streak keeps changing between 2 and 3 and has me questioning how many days it's really been.

Intrinsically motivated teams just move faster and smarter.
If you can find people who just care about what's being built and care about their teammates, you can do away with nonsense like sprint velocity quotas and weird incentive programs.
