GitHub - MasterJ93/ATProtoKit at 0.32.0
A straightforward solution for using the AT Protocol and Bluesky, written in Swift. - GitHub - MasterJ93/ATProtoKit at 0.32.0
github.com
My #Swiftlang #ATProto API library, ATProtoKit, has been updated to version 0.32.0.
This ended up becoming a much smaller update than originally intended. It’s now been reduced to some tweaks and removals, such as adding new public initializers, as well as removing ATMacro.

My dad showed me Jazz Jackrabbit 2. When I was 8 years old.
Also, Jazz Creation Station.
That... pretty much launched my career (yes, I know you can't have a career when you're 8 years old, but it was indeed the launchpad of several interests, which ultimately led me here).

Hot take: Apple Silicon is "boring," and that's a GOOD thing, because "boring" means "predictable," and "predictable" means you can actually plan ahead instead of fearing the system will melt.
(Yes, I'm still living the trauma of the Intel days.
God, Intel-based Macs had a lot of problems.)

I could just make Godot tutorials and have Swift code be used instead of GDScript (I hate GDScript) or C# (now I *do* like C#),...
... but I know I'll get, like, five views and that's it because people want to see GDScript/C#, soooo...
... yeah...
That's probably not gonna happen anytime soon.

This is something that I've been thinking for a while now, and I feel like I should be contributing to this space (more than just making AT Protocol full-stack stuff). But I want to do it in a way that's comfortable for me, even if it'll end up being a small niche of a niche.
I'll try.

The more I work on the ATProtoKit family, the more "limited" I'm at concerning maintaining Swift 5.9–5.10 compatibility.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Recovery log: Day 6
I gave up: I bought poutine. And I eat it like soup.
I regret nothing.

The AT Protocol's slogan should be "you can just do things," because that's all I'm hearing at this point. 😅

I feel a bit better now (though I still need to take the antibiotics and painkillers).
I can finally get back to work. Starting with...

Wisdom teeth extraction recovery log: Day 4
The cookies are calling out to me. They want me to eat them. They even talk in my sleep.
But I can’t eat them because the dentist is still saying “no crumbs.”

I haven’t been able to sleep since after I had my wisdom teeth extraction. Also, there’s the issue that I’ve been extremely slow in reactions when using my computer. So I unfortunately will have to refrain from coding for the weekend.

I’m out of the dentist place and on painkillers.
Okay, so I didn’t say anything *truly* stupid, but I still apologize for saying what I said.
I asked my friend what I said while on sedatives and she said nothing, but I don’t believe her; I must have said some weird stuff. 🤣

Today is my last full day before I go under the knife (erm… dentist knife?) for my final wisdom tooth extraction. I’ll try my best to release an update for ATProtoKit before then. After that, I’ll be out of commission for the next week.
Wish me luck. 🍀

One way Autistic people can be misunderstood is when we’re trying to be very thoughtful w/ our words under stress
Some of us stumble
Some of us go blank
Some of us have scripts locked & ready to go
we don’t want to be misunderstood
They can misinterpret our thoughtfulness with intent to deceive
