I feel like my social energy runs out pretty quickly in social media platforms 😅

How can you handle it?

I'd rather be building

Coding with Ruby on Rails in VS Code is such a mess 😵

All these extensions (Solargraph, etc) and it still breaks most of the time.

ALSO, why didn't anyone tell me that RubyMine has gone free for non-commercial use? 🤔🤔

I think it's time to give it a serious go.

What's a good heroic scale RTS that isn't Warcraft 1/2/3?

Shadow of Horned Rat is great but I ain't gonna play it for design inspo 😂

Age of Empires and Age of Mythology are a bit too grand

And when you get into Total War that's a different genre entirely

I want to control like 9 guys at once

Welp, seems like Cloudflare is down?

Lots of websites are not responding.

this is the best time of the year to make sales 🎉
get on top early, here's how:

1. submit app discount to github.com/danmindru/r...
2. star the repo
3. that's it! get ready for sales 🤑

First ones go to the top 🙌

Hire real designers
Automated tools for logo generation are still impressively bad—particularly when you have specific instructions.

Anyone have advice or products to recommend?

Schema best practices?

I've been updating/adding my Author schema with the following:
- name
- alternateName
- jobTitle
- image
- url
- sameAs [Collection]
- knowsAbout
- description

I wonder if I'm missing something important 🤔

So those were some surprising news 👀

- NEW Steam Controller
- Steam Machine
- Steam Frame (VR, Standalone option)

I can't wait for more info on this (and the prices $$$)

Thoughts?

It's not pretty....

But it works 💪

This is my simple content management system for my admin side.
I thought about using some sort of CMS, but ended up keeping it simple and making a simple layout.

Do you use a custom CMS? 🤔

All the games I've worked on since 2012 were nominated and won awards. So what's the common factor between them?

Something to think about if you want to hire me 🥹

I love when websites do this. 🏆

Purchasing power parity is super important, and it's something I'd love to see more of.

It's also something I immediately added when it became available on Gumroad.

I'm FINALLY reading something that most people recommended me over and over again:

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Pretty great so far.
