"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

Rebecca Heineman passed today.
She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments.
But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness.
This is an unimaginable sadness.

Rebecca Heineman is a goddamn legend among women. She did SO much great stuff, from her impossible game ports, to tirelessly keeping the mac gaming scene alive, to making sure that the Kinect works when you're wearing a skirt, to making the worst version of DOOM kinda glorious in its own way.
My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.
Fuck cancer.

2026 may well be the first year since 2011 that I choose not to attend GDC. Just looked at the pricing and it’s hard to justify— the least expensive option (if I pay my own way) is nearly $700.
Ah well, I guess technically it’s called the “Festival of Gaming” now so I’m not really missing out. RIP.
