Your game art looks quite good. Also didn't know it was so easy to make the physical assets for a custom game. They look solid too.

Making a board game with stable diffusion is something I've been thinking about for some time. Very inspiring, thanks!

The answer might be quite complex, especially since the OP is not technical. But, in my experience, it really boils down to this. If you don't have any particular requirements, just go for relational.

It happened to me too. If you like the company, maybe ask their reasons and follow through if they make sense.

Anecdotal experience: most european startups I've worked with are based in UK.

I'm based in Italy and our startup scene lags behind the UK one imo.

Joplin with cloud backup for private notes and Mkdocs on Github Pages for public notes: https://marcolabarile.me/notes/

My blog is built on Github pages. I don't have lots of images, so they're hosted in the same repo of my website.

Ok so maybe books/courses about algorithms you could use for the game?

I usually try to avoid Medium and Medium-like platforms, but it's not a strict rule. I've found some very good articles there.

I think every job has this issue. Of course it's anecdotal, but I know lots of people who experienced the same thing with jobs outside the IT sphere.

You'll never find a job which only includes activities you love. Heck, that'd be hard to experience even for a hobby!

But you can try to understand what you do and don't like. Then steer your career accordingly. With this approach it should get better one step at a time. Don't stall in something you don't like, try to explore new activities and don't be too scared of them. You'll eventually find something you like more (or, you dislike less!).

I do both cloud (AWS) and bare metal (single server on OVH with web server, db and the rest of the infra stack).

Congrats on the book! Glad you're sharing what you learned during your career.

It's a combination of the following:

1. By deep-diving in topics I encounter during work (this is not limited to programming skills, but also e.g. product/people management).

2. By taking on difficult projects

3. By working and keeping in touch with experts

4. By teaching other people what I know

Do you work on it only on Saturdays?

Cool. Software consultancy?

Agreed. Also sometimes regret comes out naturally and this is a swift and effective way to deal with it.

What's happening in your courtyard?

Mostly HN and some newsletters:

+1 for "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Great book with great value. Also easy to read and grasp.

I only tried Joplin and it's good enough for me so I'm still sticking with it.

I don't really have a well-defined method to do it.

It's a mix of websites and news from my social circles.

+1 for the SWC compiler, been using it for some time and I love it.

Markdown was love at first sight. I've been using it a lot since then, also for my blog: https://github.com/labarilem/labarilem.github.io

How did you learn this skill set besides practicing? Any books/courses you'd recommend?

Might be unrelated, but can stable diffusion be used to generate 3D characters textures?

Cool. Anyone tried this with production workloads?

I just go on with my life, exploring new things and meeting new people, while keeping an eye out for unsolved problems.

Very interesting performance. Also a very good write-up. Can't wait to try this.

You're looking for cooperative board games.

One of my favorites is Zombicide: https://www.zombicide.com/en/

Although I'm not sure it's suited for kids, when I start playing I always get hooked and then it's sleep time haha.

Didn't know about this job position. Quite cool.
