i make the internet

For the olds this reminds me of how RIP bbs graphics would draw stroke-by-stroke as they downloaded.

TIMELAAAAAAAPSE

The original ‘damn this game is a vibe’ 🏝️

'OutRun' was released in Arcades 39 years ago this month in Japan.

@ryolu_ I wish people would realize soon that we are all one symbiotic being. Not fragmented countries or political parties. Competition and ‘us vs them’ is a net negative for the world.

I wish we could reshape the world to favor kindness and collaboration over fear and competition :(

@TerracotaScarf That purple cityscape is my happy place

Everyone seems in awe of vhs package design (which is rad) but you gotta remember… blank tapes are hella boring so you have to art them up to make them interesting.

Imagine shelves on shelves of these:

[Nostalgia @NostalgiaFolder]

let’s all take a moment to appreciate blank VHS packaging design trends

[bdickason @bdickason]

@Mil_zery Love the colors!

[bdickason @bdickason]

The first time I saw nba jam in an arcade was mind blowing. 4 players, fast paced action, announcer screaming “he’s on fire!!!!” at the top of his lungs..

Then the reality that every game cost 4 quarters (even if you won) sunk in 😭😭😭

[bdickason @bdickason]

I fall into this trap so often. Sets insane expectations.

I’m going back to the time where the internet was just for fun, exploration, and curiosity.

[Suhail @Suhail]

One unfortunate way to kill your motivation to do great work is to always require pursuing some project you're curious about on the basis that it must also become a business soon too.

[bdickason @bdickason]

@joenandez That’s amazing!! You’ll have to teach me one day how to avoid 20m bugfix holes where we spin on the same 3 approaches to the problem. Have found some tricks but.. so far that’s been the hardest part for me

[bdickason @bdickason]

@joenandez I'm tired but super fulfilled after a DJ set. Like I just lived my purpose.

I'm tired and satisfied but super drained after AI creation. Like I just hyper-orgainzed my dj collection.

[bdickason @bdickason]

@joenandez Interesting. I love making music/DJing. I quickly enter flow state and start feeling (not thinking). Lots of dreaming.

Building products with AI feels like programming to me. Thinking. Super logical, Breaking down problems into chunks. (with a few moments to dream sprinkled in)

[bdickason @bdickason]

@joenandez Reminds me of early days of server side js where new tools would come out and create crazy new workflows because it was all just js underneath.

Hell just having agents write prompts so you can better interact with them in the future is crazy powerful.

[bdickason @bdickason]

Probably a stupid question but.. if we are using llm's to write code, why are they bothering with anything but assembly language? 🤔

[bdickason @bdickason]

In my late teens / early 20’s, movies became the way I learned about the world. I studied how Heath Ledger got the girl in 10 Things I Hate About You.

A few scenes still hit in my 40’s. Touching someone this deeply still feels like a life goal to me: https://t.co/E2GZXlYJz4

[bdickason @bdickason]

I’m very diligent about committing changes to git until.. I kick off a huge refactor with cursor 🙃🤦‍♂️

[bdickason @bdickason]

@LoveRetroBTW Pretty rad. Soul caliber and crazy taxi were standout games for me when it launched.

[bdickason @bdickason]

@ericzakariasson Awesome. The closest i've gotten is a general screenshot utility w/ a hotkey that i can hit to copy an image to clipboard that i bake into my cursor template. This is smart tho.

[bdickason @bdickason]

@16bitnostalgia gotta pick the big rig/semi truck tho

[bdickason @bdickason]

Really starting to monitor what gives me energy and what drains me. I get so much energy from creative acts (singing, playing music, djing) and get drained quickly when I'm in my head.

[bdickason @bdickason]

Trying to imagine a world where tools like Cursor get an order of magnitude faster. Like returning a request in 1 second instead of 30s-1m.
It's going to be insane.
