This really makes me think about "good enough", "perfect is the enemy of good", shipping _something_, finishing projects.
Maybe a goal for 2026. Choose a side project (or *looks at the graveyard* resurrect one), work on it, lower expectations and scope, publish it. Repeat.

you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song.
here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

CSS anchor positioning is newly baseline! This opens the door for lots of new creative CSS.
It's a huge feature, but here are the basics.

as far as rubberducking goes, it was pretty nice using Claude dictation mode in the car

I wonder, is a notion of an Ink script correctness useful if it ignores the hooks that can change the state from outside?
Eg. if I prove in isolation that all the knots/.. are reachable, is that helpful at all to a typical Ink+Unity project, or would tests have to live on level of that integration.

in our benchmark we're now comfortably beating react and among the fastest options when using `element.memo`.
if performance concerns were one of the things holding you back from trying lustre, well.. they shouldnt!

I'd potentially be interested in implementing some sort of support for that. I have experience writing these randomized test runners with shrinking to a minimal test case -- though from a programming language perspective, not a gamedev one. Devs would still have to specify the invariants.

@jon.inkle.co Hey 👋 I'm watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZft...
I'm wondering if Ink has property-testing / fuzzing - basically, having the computer simulate player actions and checking for invariants ("XYZ should be impossible"), or if you only did that bespoke for Heaven's Vault etc.?

Was similarly shocked learning that Snowflake has no constraints at all (in the usual tables--there's also hybrid tables that have some), you have to build non-null, unique, FK checks on top with tools like DBT. Everything's so runtime in there

Scorpio: That pattern you've been noticing is real and it's the key to understanding everything. Of course you'll need to gather a lot more data, so it's imperative that you neglect all relationships and responsibilities. You must focus on the pattern.
