I am creating horrors and wonders: "There is no kind for a built place. "blacksmith's workshop" became a Landform of brick whose anvil and bellows are Landforms, the anvil's face made of flesh."

I’m the only person in the world building what I’m building. Others are trying something similar but they’re doing it wrong.

I wrote about using Jev from @typesafeai to build just-in-time environments where any question can be answered with an oracle and any arbitrary action can be attempted. You can read on my Substack: nirgal.substack.com/p/fracta…

Truly so embarrassing to see people who carry themselves with a “fuck you attitude” kowtowing to Trump on SI.

dagr Hex - a mobile game, by @Rudefire nirgal.substack.com/p/dagr-h…

I pivoted my game to mobile for faster iteration and doing something less niche. It’s very rough around the edges but I’m really loving the art style I’m honing in on.

Gonna be in San Francisco for Tech Week!

Building with jev in mind this weekend, I've started thinking a lot about agent UX. It's hard to think about product management for agents, because "delight" isn't really as important here. But usability and quick contextual feedback is *critical*.
