Happy Halloween 🎃 This C code is shaped like a pumpkin and renders a 3D pumpkin in your terminal. I'm 46 followers away from 500. I post about software engineering, game dev, iOS, and AI agents. Let's connect 🤝

Let's connect 👋 Reply with the first language you ever wrote code in 👇 I'll go first: QuickBASIC. Now mostly Swift, but I do some TypeScript, Kotlin and Zig for fun.

CLI or desktop app for your coding agent? Make your case 👇

2010, Steve Jobs on touchscreen Macs: "your arm wants to fall off" 2026: Apple ships one So I made the touchscreen Mac we'd have gotten in 1984 👇 #MacBookPro #RetroComputing #Apple

Yesterday: the 3D Pac-Man that got me my first game dev job. But it wasn't enough. Gameloft sent an "additional test". Cars, Bullet physics, burning barrels. C++, 2011. Here it is on my Mac, 15 years later. They hired me anyway. Show me your first test task 👇

This 3D Pac-Man got me my first game dev job. Gameloft test task, 2011. C++, Irrlicht, Visual C++ 2008. 15 years later I rebuilt it on my Mac and found a bug: the snow I listed under "additional features" has alpha 0. Invisible the whole time ❄️ What was your first test task? #BuildInPublic

My first serious game was Tetris in Pascal for MS-DOS. What was the first thing YOU built? Language + project 👇 Let's connect 👋

Race weekend 🏁 If watching isn’t enough, here’s a lap you can actually drive. No pit wall, no team orders. Just you and a ghost of your best lap 🏎️ It’s half price right now 💰 #AustinGP #BuildInPublic

What if we had Claude Code for Windows 3.1? 🔊 Dial-up to the model. Models on 7 floppies. "Not enough memory to start Subagent 4." And it still finds a clever way to save 2 bytes.

My first programming language was QuickBASIC on MS-DOS. The coolest thing I made back then: green Matrix rain in the terminal. So I rebuilt it in Go with Claude for 2026 👇 What was YOUR first programming language? Drop it below; let's connect 🤝

Parents abroad: how do you keep up with school chats in a language you're still learning? I built a bot for it: 47 Spanish messages → 1 Ukrainian digest, every evening. Right now it's just for me. Should I keep going and turn it into a real product?

Something I built at the start of the year and never shared. I wanted Grammarly in my terminal, running on my own OpenAI or Claude key. So I made grammr. Would you use this? Worth working on, or should it stay a personal tool? #BuildInPublic

Saw the flying @Tesla Roadster. Gave it a go on lap one 🚀 Rocket pack not in the game. The flying laps are. #BuildInPublic
