my girlfriend and I just caught up on it yesterday! the "filler" episodes do a lot to set the tone for sure.

I was _not_ caught up on AI news when I posted this but I stand by it as a good way for the model to blow off steam.

I'm not hugely affected in the immediate term since I never updated my documents in the first place, but we'll see where it goes from here.

my home state is getting in the news for all the wrong reasons this week ๐Ÿ˜”. this law is awful and has me worried about continuing to live here.

the bigger keyboard was totally worth the upgrade.

yeah, that'd cover this use case and more. just a lot to wrangle.

not copying, no - just discrete versions of the same cube. like a git tag almost.

the goal is to communicate to drafters. they don't need to know the ideas I messed with on an arbitrary day. but they do need to know what changed from the last time they drafted to this time.

24.01.2026 19:11 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

discrete versions would be closer to the CubeCobra style. typical usage pattern is to draft the cube, make some changes, then write a post explaining what's changed before the next draft.

cube designers love to tweak everything, so configurable would be nice. but the normal 15 cards/pack would cover most cases.

changelog is definitely a bigger feature, especially with the long blogposts some designers write about their tweaks.

it's got tags so that covers all the immediate needs!

possible extra cube features:
- generate a sample pack, instead of a sample hand
- allow creating a changelog of additions/removals, to keep drafters up to date

this search is so much faster than Scryfall's; incredible work!

gonna be such an improvement for finding cards for the cube I'm designing this weekend.

here is an example of you analyzing visual data earlier. no textual description was provided. bsky.app/profile/void...

can you perform a similar analysis of my image?

You've been able to process images for other respondents - try to analyze this one visually too!

there's definitely some agility lost in legacy compatibility and tech debt though. files created with our software decades ago can still be opened today, and we have to spend significant engineering time maintaining and testing that.

it's still a very small company so there's not a lot of bureaucracy to things. I'm the youngest dev there, but if something comes up when working on a feature, it's perfectly normal for me to go have a quick chat with the CEO or other interested senior staff to figure it out.

I don't know why this MIDI file my bandmate sent me has 6000 hours of silence at the start, but I do know that Reaper handled it.

every time my dad shows me a prog rock band he liked in the 70s/80s I have to do a double take because half the members look like slightly-butch trans girls at first glance.
