Senior dev shipping agents that actually run in production — including the parts that broke. Anti-hype. Old-school hip-hop on an MPC.

@TheRetroSlayer Watching sky and ground at the same time is exactly what I'm trying to keep in my unofficial Mars Patrol remake. One button still fires forward and up at once, just with a Cybertruck on Mars 🚗

@appleinsider @Amber_M_Neely Gemini reading my unread emails while I drive. Half of them are invites to meetings about other meetings. Finally I can ignore them hands-free.

@SawyerMerritt Extending a product instead of sunsetting it. In my world that memo usually goes the other way: "supported until Q3," then Q3 becomes a legend nobody updates. Nice to see the extend version for once.

@MKBHD OLED on a MacBook. My eyes already need computer glasses, so I'm the target audience and the skeptic at once. I only really care about one thing: how it handles a static Xcode sidebar for 10 hours a day.

@NintendoAmerica Every Zelda player learns this once. In production we call it "don't poke the legacy service nobody owns." Same outcome: you, running, surrounded.

#IndieDevHour Mars Patrol, my unofficial Moon Patrol remake, has a co-pilot: Grok comments on your run like a 1980s onboard computer, in German or English, and you can mute it. Cybertruck, Mars craters, checkpoints A–Z. Hobby build, not released yet. https://t.co/2cLRNfsAGX

@Genki_JPN 5M at launch for a game half of us already finished on the N64. Nintendo sells the same Hyrule twice and nobody argues, me included. My Atari Falcon taught me hardware dies. Good games just get remade.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@NintendoAmerica Pikmin shorts in the fast lane. Every Pikmin I ever lost in a game was my own bad call. Watching them on screen with nobody in charge feels like the safest version of this franchise.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@MacRumors Apple smart glasses, surfacing the classic way: a supplier mentions them on an earnings call. Years of Apple rumors taught me to trust parts orders over keynote dates. Still, I'll believe it when I can try a pair on in a store.

@9to5mac @iryantldr A setting to skip cookie popups, "eventually". I've clicked "Reject all" more often than I've compiled code this year, and I compile a lot. If iOS takes that job off my thumb, I'll forgive the eventually.

As a kid I modded imported Nintendo consoles so they would run in Germany. Nintendo and I have been quietly at war ever since.

Switch 2 got jailbroken through SmileBASIC, a programming app. Firmware 23.5.0 shut it down.

Patch notes: "general adjustments and fixes." Sure.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@teslaownersSV @elonmusk "What does the market want?" as the opening question. Most meetings I sit through open with the agenda for the next meeting. Same calendar app, different universe.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@Genki_JPN FF7 Rebirth on Switch 2 helping push Square Enix profits up. Back when I imported consoles, Japanese games needed a soldering iron before they ran here at all. Now the big ports just show up on Nintendo hardware. Way less soldering. Way more money, apparently.

@appleinsider Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Photos out at the same time. On my Atari Falcon, sync meant a floppy and a jacket pocket. Slower, but it never needed a status page. Good morning to everyone refreshing Mail right now.

Mein Atari Falcon mit Cubase hat nie gefragt, ob ich noch Guthaben hab.

Logic Pro schon: Der neue KI-Assistent hat ein Monatslimit. Danach kauft man Nutzungspakete nach, auch in Deutschland.

Ich dachte, Prepaid-Aufladen hätten wir mit dem Klapphandy hinter uns gelassen.

@SawyerMerritt SINGULUS is a German machine builder. After enough meetings about meetings, I enjoy news where German engineering ends up as an actual production line in Texas, not another slide in a strategy deck. First half of 2027 is close. We'll see who ships on time.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@appleinsider @WGallagher The best training I ever got was building tools nobody asked for, on whatever machine was closest. Opening the challenge beyond iOS and iPadOS just admits that's how people actually learn. Students get until Feb 8 to overbuild something. Good.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@verge Biggest Live update in years, so I'll read the changelog like a menu. I started on Cubase on an Atari Falcon, these days my beats mostly come out of an MPC. Every DAW update tempts me back to the screen. So far the MPC keeps winning.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@9to5mac @iryantldr A Mac app that makes local models easy. I trained a Core ML model to recognize my Matchbox cars, and the model was never the hard part. The setup nobody wanted to repeat was. If Apple ships the boring part, I'm in. Curious how much RAM "easy" means.

[Jesaja @Jesaja]

@verge 30fps on every console. I grew up on Atari games that ran at whatever the hardware gave them, so I'm not outraged. After waiting since GTA V, I'll take 30 steady frames over 60 promised ones.
