For a while I have been mentoring on https://t.co/5HK8hpm7gM

I have a few slots per week open. I would be very happy to be fully booked each week.

This costs nothing btw.

@kill_biil Να έχεις δηλαδή υπόλοιπο 100 ευρώ και η τράπεζα να σου πέρνει το 1.50 για να σου το πει!!!

Have you noticed that every single person telling you that “AI is all you need to write code” is not a developer and has no clue about what good software looks like?

It’s like calling yourself an F1 driver after playing a car racing game on your ipad.

[Adam Singer @AdamSinger]

Remote work firm NVIDIA now 3rd largest company globally by market cap (worth >$2.3 trillion) powering the future of computing, AI, gaming, crypto; while your boss is still living in the 90s & demands you commute 2 hours/day to sign TPS reports. At this point it's just comical

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@thekitze If you got the map and still not enjoying it probably not for you. Great game if you stick with it though

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

Back from a small break from social media stuff.

???Gonna start with a question.????

Assuming one is an experienced web developer and wants to pickup game development as a hobby.

How would you start? I would probably be interested in creating some turned based rpg experiences

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@csturner88 Aha. Pretty cool. 🙏

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@Frontend_Ed_ Exchange of ideas more than a mentoring session I would say :) Was great meeting you Ed!

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@rixlabs @X Scary and exciting stuff.

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

Not gonna lie that's super cool !!

ℹ️ Did you know that you can have stylized alerts (or admonitions) in @github-flavored markdown?

The syntax looks like this:

> [!NOTE]
> Some important note

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Sorta like CSS

> [!WARNING]
> Some warning

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@dimfeld @DavidKPiano @github Works on github pr descriptions just fine though

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@yagiznizipli That's what she said...

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

You don't have to work hard, you have to work smart.

BS advice

There I said it

I see so many posts from people that had ridiculously good careers and worked like maniacs giving advice to young people to have balance and not work hard.

Would you be in the position you are today if you have not worked hard? Could you talk about balance if working hard for 10-15 years at a competitive ladder had not provided the foundation for your current life.

Savings, investments, skills, networks. How the hell would you have build all that if you just did the bare minimum.

Just saw a post on linkedin and I was triggered.

End of rant

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

Locally isolated binges is hard for me after I became a parent.

I have two gaming modes now

Play 1 hour each night until I finish the game I want.

Don't play at all because I am frustrated I can't binge the game I want and finish it fast 🤣

I default to the second state pretty much

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

Completely unrelated to my other posts in the platform.

Lies of P is a great video game.

A love letter to Fromsoftware games.

And it is on gamepass.

I am on an extended gaming break but I will find a few hours per week to finish it

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@GaborPfalzer Hehe. I haven't been playing much myself. Priorities 🤷

You used to play a lot?

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@ProgressiveCod2 Probably the best combat system in any fromsoftware game.

Deep learning curve though. Tough game.

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

@shanselman Is it a good game? Never played older payday games

[Christos Kokolios @KokoChris_dev]

It is quite similar. Reaching the legendary status of Bloodborne is not easy though.

What I love is how polished the game is.

Runs smooth as butter in my series X. No bugs no glitches.

The art style is fantastic and the boss fights are very very good.

One of the best soulslikes I have played.

Have you tried Sekiro btw?
