Dwarf Fortress is a legendary game that has always been "for geeks" and anti-user-friendly. Finally, the devs decided to build a more human-oriented version!

Episode with John Carmack. I've really enjoyed his ideas on running things under debugger at first by default and on collection size assertions. These are probably not always practical in terms of Android dev, but I think they're nice anyway.

A bunch of funny and clever prompts for ChatGPT. I've really enjoyed "Act as ‘Character’ from ‘Movie/Book/Anything’". It doesn't really know all the nuances of a fictional universe, however. "Act as <position> Interviewer" was really boring, on the other hand. I wouldn't like to be interviewed this way.

Wow, this looks nice! AdbOrc - a tool that allows you to build a virtual device farm of a sort with your fellow devs. Usecase: there's a bug that is only reproducible on QA's device and you can't access it physically, they share access through this thing, you connect and do your little nasty thing.

YAML is a truly broken poor thing. You'll find some of its quirks in this post. Highly recommend to check it out. I'm surprised that all of this still works somehow.

The yaml document from hell
For a data format, yaml is extremely complicated. It aims to be a human-friendly format, but in striving for that it introduces so much complexity, that I would argue it achieves the opposite result. Yaml is full of footguns and its friendliness is deceptive.…
