I built a Gameboy with Svelte using HTML, CSS, Javascript 🎮

There’s a few details I’d like to share….

@RinoTheBouncer My favorite way to waste time

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@tdinh_me People are saying “don’t announce this before it’s real” but actually this is a marketing post and this is the best time to market it. If you get the deal you can market with this again. Much stronger than “I almost got, but didnt get, an OpenAI deal”

@paulg @Ma_WuKong Paul, you know that a real mother locks eyes with their newborn and doesn’t break this eye contact for 3 years. Research shows this is critical

@rough__sea Do you get hungrier when you see the idiots all over twitter?

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@jh3yy Claude said I don’t have it installed, where did you get it?

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@KenneyNL Godot 360

@elonmusk You made sure of that

If I had to name this, I would call it work life balance

[@levelsio @levelsio]

There was some great tweet about how work life balance was kinda bs and true freedom is just life mixed with different moments of some work here, some life here and if you love what you do (like creating things) it should be mixed in with your life all the time, but I lost the tweet

@DreamMixGames That’s 3 more than me! (I have 0 players)

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@kenwheeler I’d like this, but I don’t really branch or use worktrees so when I run multiple agents on the same repo they’d likely auto commit half baked changes from other threads. Though, an auto committer could try to commit only the right files/lines to the right commit 🤔

@ryanflorence I really dig it. But “handle” feels awk as a name. I guess I could call it whatever, “h” will do

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@ThePrimeagen This 100x dev cannot afford to take vacation. Each single day off is 4 months of work. Every dentist appointment is a full end to end project.

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@levelsio Not remotely true, look at all the games released from all sizes of studios and tell me how many could be accurately described by what you wrote. I bet less than 1%

Even still, more interactive movies are worth something too

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@thomasbrushdev Jesus Christ, show up

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@Toadsanime I buy full priced for must haves or if I really love the dev. But otherwise, why would you buy full price when you know there is a deal just around the corner? Play games a little later, save like 50%. Plus you get to see if the game is really worth it or just day 1 hype

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@ibuildthecloud @glcst Probably more likely that the future is hard to imagine since there is no reference for it, so everything we create as futuristic basically should look strange, and strange things would be less likely to fall into traditional gender imagery.

@ThePrimeagen Can’t believe you missed this: AI

@Jonathan_Blow Stopped reading at “idk”

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@AdamRackis UHead … URest

[backlit bytes💡 @backlitbytes]

@ThePrimeagen Stop, you’re going to make me go back to measuring twice and cutting once (instead of cutting 100 times and never measuring anything)
