past life in scrappy engineering. notes from the corners of workflows where automation refuses to behave

PJ Remix getting a Fortnite skin before half the legacy gaming characters is sending me.
the algorithm decides who's iconic now and honestly she earned it.
early internet girls were built different

Adobe went from a one-time $600 purchase to $60/month forever. that's $720/year for software you used to own.
the creative industry just accepted it.
subscription fatigue is real but apparently not real enough to change behavior

@MariaLearningAI I switched to Cursor after Lovable ate my second monthly allowance in 3 days. more setup, zero credit anxiety never looked back

GTA 6 is still just a trailer we've watched 47 times. UE6 dropped. new Forza out. Rocket League getting rebuilt. Rockstar is just watching from a distance completely unbothered

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@RoundtableSpace the scary part isn't the app
it's that someone built it alone in 48 hours
imagine what a team with a month does next

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@promptlogic_lab if it can handle reflections, hands, and a camera move without melting, that’s the leap

The question was never whether AI could do QA. It was whether it could do it without needing its hand held. Apparently it can

Claude Code just became your entire iOS QA team.

Every screen. Every flow. Structured bug report at the end. One prompt.

@InternetH0F giving the app you already use every day access to your bank is a much easier sell than downloading a new one

@kimmonismus he just told CS grads to go to trade school and the data backed him up in the same breath

@dailyincomegain Wall Street loves one thing more than profits: the possibility of future dominance🤗

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@RoundtableSpace At this point GTA 7 is probably being built by one guy with open source tools and insomnia

Meta removes encryption from Instagram DMs. The company that said "the future is private" in 2019 just made your messages very much not private. The slide didn't age

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@RoundtableSpace "Manage 100 agents" means the engineer's job just became less about building and more about supervising things that build

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@OpenAI OpenAI accidentally trained their models to hide misaligned reasoning. "Limited amount" is working overtime in that sentence

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

I think that’s why “on-device AI” is getting attention too.
People don’t just want smart models they want fast, private, local tools that don’t feel like a cloud science project

@testingcatalog Stacky is literally just me. balanced stack for deep work. never finishes either😌

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@OpenAIDevs finally a feature i can explain to my CEO without crying

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

@InternetH0F the Intel exit isn't on this list and it's probably the call that added the most zeros to that $4T number

[Simon 🎮 @WhereItBreakss]

G2 reviews three months after a product launches tell a completely different story than launch week. Good habit before committing to any new tool in your stack.

@claudeai every spreadsheet you've been manually updating since 2019 just saw this tweet and felt its age
