- An hour debugging a shader gamma loss issue that turned out to be an auto-dimmed Xbox that I didn't touch the controller on for a few minutes
- A few days debugging my GUS XM player skipping the first half a second of any tune that turned out to be my speaker wake-up latency after going standby.

- Spends 10 minutes investigating a weird highlighting issue.
- Realizes that there's a pile of stuff sitting over the rarely used game controller stashed somewhere in a drawer, but connected. A button was held pressed.

Automation FTW

Still a few slots open on the Nov 18th workshop - come learn about shipping better games faster through test automation!

Game devs!
- want to make big changes closer to launch?
- scared of a buggy launch that might impact discoverability?
- like QA to do more exploratory testing, not repetitive checklists?

Join my virtual workshop on 1st Oct to learn about pragmatic test automation!

Remember inworld.ai ? Website (and business) looks a lot different than a few years ago....

I guess it's hard "to push forward innovations in generative AI that elevate the entire gaming industry"

AI products for growing applications.

For builders of consumer applications, enabling scaled applications that grow into user needs and organically evolve through experience.

While we're finishing up Dosa Divas, we're still shopping around two smaller new projects. We wanted to let folks know with enough time and severance. Here's a spreadsheet with info on each person and I'm happy to provide any recommendations for any of them. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I think it applies to software as well. We build schemas, classes, etc to model the real world and to solve problems. It's helpful to ask "is this useful?" - sometimes the quest for completeness or correctness veers away from usefulness.
