I've made (or rather, I'm finishing) my game for the game jam! It's probably the most challenging project of my life, and I don't think I did everything right, but I enjoyed making the game in Godot. And by the way, you can try it out on itch.io!

There are five days left until the jam ends, and I think I'll have time to polish it to perfection (at least, I'll do my best!) 😎

That looks really polished holy cow. I hope someone hire you in an indie studio for this (would be a crime if they didn't lol) Great work!

Thank you very much! Yeah, the graphics turned out pretty good, my Intel 4000 really pushed its cores, lol, but I think the gameplay will get a low score because everything was done so poorly. I've already come to hate Godot, but the fact that I'm 80% complete gives me hope that I won't end up in 2000th place. Yeah... maybe I'm feeling impostor syndrome and all that, but I'm probably just tired. We'll see what happens. 🥵

Shipped some new support for how we do live event streams on DEV so it will be more user-friendly and better admin UX as well :)

I developed a claude/codex/copilot skill a few weeks back that is now producing much better outcomes for my team. It keeps developers focussed on outcomes rather than completing tickets. Half of my 40 person team has adopted it! The PO asked me the other day why she's been pulled into som many conversations over the past couple weeks. It's because the skill asks "Is there a product owner in the room?" and if not, it adds assumptions and risks to the Jira or GitHub issue. I talk about the concept a little here. I also made a cheat sheet.

I made an experiment with Zapier SDK and Output.ai framework to build a agentic workflow to enrich Hubspot company data. I'm very happy to find a tool to help with Oauth and not doing/managing it myself.

This week I managed to parse raw OSM data into JS chunks and use it to generate a simulation of my city (Berlin).

Still not 100% sure where this is going yet - but it’s starting to feel really powerful and honestly just fun to build 🚀

Closed a discovery call with a legal tech consultant who validated the security-first approach I'd been uncertain about for weeks. No contract yet. But the win wasn't the deal, it was hearing someone with ten years in the field say the architecture makes sense. That's the signal you keep building for.
