Hello everyone 
!
My team at Meta is currently evaluating some cool ideas to work with creators. I can't say much right now, but it looks to be a very exciting opportunity.
If you're a game studio or solo dev with successful titles for mobile, MR/VR, or UGC-type platforms such as Roblox, Fortnite, Horizon Worlds, Rec Room, Spatial, etc., then feel free to comment below and say hi!
Also, send me an email if you can (my email is on my YouTube channel about section), I'd love to work with you!
As a #programmer but #beginner I already know that documentation is important: that's why I'll make a website to document my adventures and potential progress.
If you have any resources that you think could help me, do not hesitate a second!
If you have any tools to advise, do not hesitate a second!
I'm considering using 
#fedora #Kinoite with #toolbx or something like #RockyLinux (but if you have other distros to advise, tell me) with 
#kdevelop #codelite for C++, #spyder or #pycharm for Python 
and #rustrover or #lapce for Rust 
and 
#kateeditor for simple file edition.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.

The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

No, AI is NOT a Skill. It’s Just a Tool.
Just Like a Blender in the Hands of a Michelin Chef.
Knowing how to prompt ChatGPT doesn’t make you a genius any more than owning a spatula makes you Gordon Ramsay.
And tools don’t work magic. People do.

The best programmers: Many geospatial professions involve – varying degrees of – #programming. In a new article, Matthias Endler has collected fundamental #traits that the best #programmers he knows seem to share.

If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime.

Linked is a fun article, mostly because I agree with just about all the points made!https://salas.com/2025/04/11/the-best-programmers-i-know/#programming #software-engineering #coding #programmers #developers #best-practices
One of the big lessons of a big project is you don't want people that aren't really programmers programming, you'll suffer for it!

Linus Torvalds built #Git in 10 days - and never imagined it would last 20 years https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-built-git-in-10-days-and-never-imagined-it-would-last-20-years/ by @sjvn
Today, many developers can't imagine a world without Git. When it first appeared, most #programmers hated it. Oh, how things have changed!

@baldur “The only issue I am facing as a professional #art director in games is that I just want them to leave me and my art teams alone so we can make cool art. There is *no problem to be solved here*”.
I don’t think the Art director is looking at this from a business angle. The problem being solved is to reduce the high cost #WhiteCollar workforce and still make a profit.
This has been happening since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn decided SE/SWE cost to much for #Alphabet (#google) and all the SW companies followed.
Why?
Later that year #OpenAI released #ChatGPT.

Hello everyone 
I’ve been using the Meta Ray-Ban glasses for a while now, and I recently got the Meta x Coperni limited edition, which inspired me to make a video highlighting some of the features available with these glasses.
Full video: https://youtu.be/DuaNJnkwOg4
This is what I cover in this video:
- Unboxing the Meta x Coperni limited edition
- Specifications
- Meta View app setup
- Capturing videos and images using Meta AI
- Exploring Meta AI features (code explanations, having the AI read a book, and translating text)
- Live translation features
- Playing music, audiobooks, and identifying songs
- Comparing Meta x Coperni vs Meta Transition Lenses
Let me know if you have any specific questions about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
