I implemented directional sunlight in my Minecraft-like game engine for the Dreamcast.

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

what i did in january:
- worked my full time job
- shipped 1 iOS app, 1 Mac app & 2 extensions
- hit 600 followers on X
- read 6 books
- started making videos
- restarted tiktok marketing

what it felt like:
- not enough

but looking at this list
maybe i’m being too hard on

My dad (Richard Feynman) had a side hustle doing industrial consulting. He'd spend a few hours visiting a company, talking to the engineers, looking at stuff, and then maybe have a good suggestion. Sometimes he would bring his son along. I only recall one of his suggestions, but it made the company he was consulting for way better off, so I guess his exorbitant consulting fees were worth it. We could have been wealthier if he had done it systematically, but he didn't want to be organized about looking for jobs, so it just happened when someone asked.

i love building.

i hate marketing.

so naturally i keep building.

and then wonder why nothing grows.

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

it took me 1 month 2 weeks and 1 day
to go from 500 to 600 followers

i see people getting dozens of followers a day
maybe even hundreds

i don't know how they do it
but i also don't think i care

i'm just happy i get to do meaningful connections

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

there are days where everything sucks

the vibes aren’t there
the mood is horrible
there are no ideas
and no will to build

on these days i get mad at myself
for not pushing forward

maybe i’m being too hard on myself
but it’s hard to unlearn this

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

mondays are for launching new projects

another personal itch being scratched here

are there other tools that do the same? yeah, absolutely, but this is mine (and i think it's a lot better)

now it's time to see if it goes somewhere 🚀

2026 is finally the Year of the Linux Desktop - and as we've been saying many times over the past decade, it is being brought to you by Microsoft.

@HeyItzaMi What is the name of that e-reader, looks perfect for reading during commutes.

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

if you think you're going too niche, think again

here's Peanut, a social app made for mothers to match other mothers

a tinder-like ui but for friendship, connecting with people, and building a community

i might start doing more posts about unusual apps, who's interested?

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

weekends are mostly about family

work happens late at night
when the house is quiet

you make time where you can

you give some things up now
so other things have a chance later

[Rui Sousa @heyitzami]

this probably means nothing to most of you

but i struggle to post and reply to people

mostly because i don't think i'm interesting

so seeing an actual growth (even if tiny) when i act is out of this world!

Strange how Taylor Swift is the biggest musician in the USA I guess, but you walk into a coffee shop or a pizza place and they’re playing Joy Division, Mazzy Star, Phish, The Cranberries.

Here is a highlight from the chat with @Jonathan_Blow where he walks me through the game engine and tooling for @SinkingStarGame!
