I run Tinydark, a player-first indie web game studio.

Studio:

[Sherwood @shcallaway]

We deleted 800k lines of unit tests from the @sazabi monorepo earlier this week.

Three hypotheses:

1- Unit tests "lock-in" slop code by making it hard to change or remove

2- Unit tests slow down dev cycles by making your agent do more work locally and by increasing CI times

3- Unit tests waste money by making your agent generate more tokens and by adding useless CI runs

Will report back soon with the results!

Oh shit, this is a good idea... I can't really keep up with all the studios' newsletters nor hacker news, but I'll bet I could get it to filter out what I truly want for content inside them.

"Should I do more? I'm really not sure, I know I'm running circles, but I can't quit..."

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Down to 6110 unread from the over 9000 unread emails just earlier. Will get to inbox zero with clean filters within the next 48 hours. Dot has accepted the challenge.

SvelteKit 3 is out!

Better environment variable handling, better error messages and sensible breaking changes with an easy upgrade thanks to our migration script which handles many things automatically and gives you(r agent) a nice Todo list for the rest

@leononrails @sama This post written by fireply, I assume.

@frostybaby13 @sama It is bizarre that this is the first reply X thinks I should see under this otherwise nice, positive post.

[Vael Victus @VaelVictus]

The hill I will die on is the extreme overuse of the term 'stolen' for digital work. Just say what it is: you copied. Mimicked. You did anything but physically take it from the person. Look, look, it's still there!

Caveat? "It's colloquial language." I understand. However.

@alexgetmancom @rronak_ I appreciate the diligence, I can never be sure what AI is truly capable of.

[Vael Victus @VaelVictus]

@KenEdwards22971 @sama AI's done far more good.

[Vael Victus @VaelVictus]

@ChatWithDusty Great pic. I gotta drop in some time soon.

@BennettBuhner @davis7 fuckin' lol, it put itself under AGI

@rnatthewgribben @thsottiaux Just got it! You need to restart the app while holding down-arrow + B on the keyboard, it's a guaranteed reset as long as you're owed one.

[Vael Victus @VaelVictus]

@cyrilismyname @thsottiaux ONLY ONE THING TO DO, PAL!

[Vael Victus @VaelVictus]

Can't believe how good Astra is. It works very quickly on medium effort, too. I hope to upgrade to Pro+ in October and just power through development.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

To calibrate you all on which reasoning effort to use for Astra, know that GPT-6 Astra on low performs better than GPT-5.6 Sol on high.

If you were using high reasoning efforts with Sol and were happy, I suggest you move down to low or medium for Astra.

Yes! Finally!

I've just fixed one of the biggest issues with the RD Pro models: They used to crop images at smaller sizes.

Now, low resolution is super easy. All the way down to 12x12 even!

Old behavior VS new!

Most people are economically illiterate, and it’s destroying Britain.

We think we’re a top-tier rich nation, but on a per capita basis, we’re not even in the top 20.

Instead of arguing and further dividing the country over how to slice a shrinking pie, we need to focus on what actually creates wealth and productivity because taxing wealth won't fix a nation that has stopped producing it.

[Vael Victus @VaelVictus]

This has been an experiment all along...!
