      This type of feeling also applies to getting your spouse to smirk during an argument

      few better parenting feelings than getting the reluctant little "okay dad you're being funny even if I really don't want to admit it" smile in the middle of a tantrum

      I have a soft spot for the incredible team behind Appulse, as we started on our Pinball journeys at the same time and seeing the insane quality as it has developed has been a massive inspiration.
      
      Their demo is a fellow entry in the Pins and Pegs fest, so now is the perfect time to check it out!

      Genuine question: I see a lot of the new code hosting platforms sharing the AI prompts you use to get the final code. Is that actually useful?
      
      Pre-AI, I didn't care about the order in which you typed your code, for example, I just look at the output/PR details. It seems like unnecessary context?

      A photo of a pygmy albino corydora fish swimming in some dwarf baby tears. His skin and flesh is see though, so all of his organs are visible.
