I changed and experimented with a lot of things - in version 1.5 I can finally say I've reached a state I'm happy with. And after adding the Intermittent Fasting option, the whole thing took on a whole new dimension.

Over the weekend I pushed another update of my little app which - I was skeptical but curious - actually works!!!
Since January 1st, I've managed to drop just over 4kg already. Still a long journey ahead, another 20 to go, but... It's going well... so far...

Every time I see someone suggest "we could use an LLM for this", I hear "I don't care about this being done at a high quality".
That's fine, just be honest about it.
When I see people suggesting using LLMs to answer support tickets it shows me they don't give a shit about their customers.

Just found a texture atlas from my old game Country Driver (2009 – where does the time go?! 😅). That bear character still makes me smile 🐻

Or maybe it is only a huge brain disease which spread across the Western world like a pandemic.
In 2020, life was rough. Then the pandemic hit. So I built a puzzle game and called it FULG - F****** Useless Logic Game 😄
5 years later, it's still on the App Store with a fresh update. Not bad for something "useless".

Sorry for long message 😇
Fortunately, that kind of thinking won't be acceptable everywhere. So I remain an optimist that deep knowledge - what you called "decades-old" (archaic?) - will become a scarce and highly sought-after commodity. 🙃
But here's the catch - even that knowledge will slowly atrophy when the deeper work in a given domain becomes increasingly shallow... Of course, one can always argue that maybe we don't need to understand how it works - as long as it works. 😉
Why are companies primarily hiring seniors in environments where AI is used seriously? Because seniors possess deep domain knowledge and can still understand the generated code.
Thomas, I think this is a bit of an oversimplification. Cognitive and brain research scientists have no illusions - heavy AI use promotes the decline of analytical and critical thinking. Without engaging the brain in deeper work, long-term memory doesn't get a chance to form, and so on.
8% from critics vs 99% from audiences. If this isn't manipulation, I only have two explanations: either only the faithful are watching (and there's no saving them), or... is it really THAT bad across the pond? 🍿
I like your optimism and somehow, I will try to find my own.
True, but I’ve noticed one huge problem: the more you use AI, the less you remember your own craft, and the risk of losing your skills is high. Is forcing ourselves to do “real” coding from time to time the only solution? Any ideas?
Apple's removing my game for not updating it. Thought it'd be a quick recompile... then I found a bug (the chain-linked blocks mechanic). Now I need to decode 3-year-old me's code. Wish me luck! 😅

Strange are the fates of mankind. "Dark ages": rulers by divine right could be idiots, common people had no say. 21st century: quality at the top hasn't improved. The shock? Now they're actually elected.

Lazy Sunday, an absolutely small thought, just a spark of electricity…
“The Good Dinosaur” - what a pity that damn meteorite didn’t miss our planet after all.
First few weeks with ProsoPlate. Still a long way to go — from my weight perspective and the development as well.

The topic is old and probably rehashed a million times, but as part of tidying up my computer and my head - I'm posting this article on my site. smagabakery.com/2025/swift_n...
Yep, I am curious.
All the best in the coming year 2026.
I deeply believe that working on discovering your own patterns can be a real catalyst for change.
I'll share the results - if any of it turns out to serve something more than just self-promotion.
Briefly about the idea - instead of another diet app, I built an awareness tool:
• Check in before eating (hungry or craving?)
• Photograph meals (disrupts automatic eating)
• Reflect afterward (was it worth it?)
• Discover patterns in my data
