My personal blog, and its first post, are fully finished!

I tried to keep a minimalistic retro look. I think it looks pretty cool :)

start up founders seem cool until you meet like a lot of them irl and realize they are all lowkey scammers

@MangoSweet78 understandable

@DeltaWave0x compute shaders are so goated its actually unreal

[Robin's Secret Hideout @RobinsSecret]

crazy what like 200 lines of code can get you sometimes :)

i still have lots of improvements to make to this raytracer, but im happy with the type of images i can generate already

it seems that getting a canadian work visa is a lot easier than getting an american one.

canada arc 2027 might happen

considering moving my blog and future repositories to codeberg.

supporting an open-source nonprofit sounds better than using a microslop owned product.

a master's degree is supposed to mean you contributed in some novel way to your field of study

in real life, it very often means you decided to spent 2 extra years doing nothing instead of working :/

"A Master's degree isn't the job guarantee it used to be," per WSJ.

accidentally coded a toon-shader

i really don't see the appeal of a "gpu-only" machine. gpus work great as dedicated hardware for when you need to run parallel code at very high speeds.

wasting gpu capacity on routine os operations seems like a total waste.

Usually I would expect this to be lame. But the first thing that jumps to my mind when I see this is, "A PC that boots straight to the GPU and has no CPU." Which I would be totally there for.

senior dev at my team spent 2 weeks vibe coding a unity multiplayer template project.

it's broken and barely works. he doesnt understand any of it. he has 20 years of experience. he earns 3x my salary.

@pikuma This year I've read "Game programming patterns" (goated) and a portuguese graphics programming book. Both were neat and taught me some stuff.

I'm now reading the art of doing science and engineering. To read is to learn :D

[Robin's Secret Hideout @RobinsSecret]

@alfwastaken "we should look into this codebase more later. understand how it works."

[Robin's Secret Hideout @RobinsSecret]

just spent 50 minutes in a call where we were testing this. it was a loop of shit breaking and him saying

"this doesnt work... i dont understand why?"

my brother in christ. you implemented this system from scratch yourself. read your own code.

I've heard good things about SDL1. If I wasn't focusing on modern tech right now, I would play around with it more.

Everyone's too busy forcing UE5 to look like a 1998 engine. What they could do instead is just make 1998 engines, which were routinely created by teams of 1-2 people. Use OpenGL 1.2, people, it's still available, and your games will run at 5 trillion FPS while looking authentic.
