Today

PHP might be getting a "using" block. 👀 It would automatically handle resource cleanup, even when exceptions occur. There's a new RFC targeting PHP 8.7. And developers are already debating "=>" vs "as". 😂
haven't we learned lesson from python? Managers are clunky and not transparent :(... Feels like they want defer but worse version of it.

Yesterday

Someone made an anti-AI-slop skill for Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor. 😂 It tries to stop AI from generating the same purple-gradient websites with identical layouts and feature cards. We've reached the point where we need AI to stop AI from looking like AI. 💀

Quick reminder for Codex users 👀 My free usage reset said it expires on November 7. It was already November 7 here in India, so I thought I had until tomorrow. But expiry dates may use a different timezone.…

Composer can now refuse to install a package version because it's too new. 👀 Composer 2.11 added dependency cooldowns. You can tell Composer to skip package versions released in the last 24 hours when running "composer update" or "require". Gives malicious releases some time…

I spent some time playing some, can tell it's all AI because a few of them have broken game loops.
I don't see the point in having games here either. Sorry! Cool as a side project though.
This isn't facebook. Those things are meant for social media where you really don't want to be there but you are just wasting time IMHO.
Personally I do see a future for games on here, but not in this format. The way I see it would be to start with one or two games and make it multi-player (like starting a game of pong with a randomly assigned dev-null user) over reverb or similar. Launchable through the…
