QuestWorlds: An Engine Looking for a Showrunner Most of the games I get excited about start as a scenario in my head, not a ruleset. I write something like Barbarians at the Gates (mythic Rome, hard countdown, necromantic siege politics) and then…

What if your RPG rules mostly stayed out of the way and just stirred the drama? I’ve been reading QuestWorlds, Chaosium’s generic story engine, and wrote up my thoughts. blog.monkeyx.games/2026/03/06/q...

Why I'm Learning Rust in 2026 LostInBrittany's tech blog, reborn... again...

Here’s the kickoff post: lostinbrittany.dev/en/why-im-le...

If you’re also learning a language “despite” agents, I’m curious which one... and why.

24.02.2026 15:57 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

And I’m going to document the process: the projects, what the compiler taught me, what the agent got wrong, and the review rules I keep reusing (“cheap correctness first”, etc.).

24.02.2026 15:57 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

So I’m learning Rust with a different focus than 5 years ago: reading & reviewing first, writing second.
Semantics > syntax. Failure modes > trivia.

24.02.2026 15:57 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Rust is a great example: “it compiles” doesn’t mean “it’s good”. Agents can produce clone soup, weird lifetimes, async-by-reflex, brittle error handling, dependency sprawl… all perfectly compilable.

If an assistant can generate 200 lines in seconds, the bottleneck isn’t typing. It’s judgment: is this correct? safe? over-engineered? will we regret this dependency in 6 months?

24.02.2026 15:57 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

I did a basic Rust intro a couple years ago, then… never really used it. In 2026 I’m coming back to Rust on purpose, because agents exist.

My sons playing Tablut

My sons playing Tablut

We played tonight at the table. My two sons arguing over tactics with a handful of stones.

And for some moments I almost forgot grief.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablut

22.02.2026 22:35 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

I drew the grid by hand and walked to the beach for pieces. Pebbles for one side, rougher stones for the other, a shell for the king.

There’s something steady about doing small, precise things.

Tablut is an old Scandinavian strategy game.

Asymmetric. One king trying to escape.

The other side closing in.
Simple rules. No randomness.

A homemade Tablet board and pieces

A homemade Tablet board and pieces

The last couple of weeks have been harder than usual.

This weekend I built a Tablut board.

I’d been playing it on my phone, but that didn’t feel like enough.

Que ce soit du Mans ou de Tours, l'étiquette monte aussi qu'ils savent chercher la qualité des produits à la source, avec du porc espagnol 🤩

2026-02-10 - Finist'AI Club - Rewriting the role: Developers in the age of LLM "Rewriting the role: Developers in the age of LLM", a talk by Horacio Gonzalez (LostInBrittany) at Finist'AI Club (Brest, France) on February 10, 2026.

Merci au Finist'AI Club! 🙏

2/ Short answer: we're going from co-pilot to conductor. Orchestrating AI agents, designing context, reviewing everything. The vibe coders who skip understanding are learning the hard way why that matters.

The future of dev isn't less human. It's differently human.

1/ Really enjoyed presenting "Rewriting the Role: Developers in the Age of LLMs" at Finist'AI Club in Brest last night!

The gist: we've survived every "developers are doomed" wave so far. LLMs are the latest one, and the interesting question isn't "will we survive" but "how is the craft changing?"

5/ My favorite framing from the talk:

MCP in 2026 ≈ REST APIs in 2010

Same forces (domain, trust, ownership separation), but the margin for error is smaller when your caller is a non-deterministic LLM.

4/ - Operating MCP beyond one server: composition patterns, gateways, contracts and versioning, safety guardrails with risk-tiered tools. This is where the REST-to-microservices lessons really apply.

- Production patterns from day one: security, input validation, testing (including LLM evaluation and prompt injection resistance), observability
