I remember this famous scene in the TV show Malcolm in the middle where the father realizes that a lightbulb died and decides to change it, this is pretty much what happened to me as I decided to update some of our dependencies.

I’m not a game developer, but after more than a year doing shenanigans at Sound Games, some of my colleagues’ knowledge has somehow transcended the limits of the physical world and travelled toward my office in Vancouver, where I’m now brave enough to spend more time in the Unity editor. I’ve had to learn how to reset the state of a game without making changes to said game and it took me way too long to remember how some of this works from my days building iOS or macOS apps.

2025 - Week 38: this website runs on my Oura ring
Yesterday I ran into this news about a hacker who reused a disposable vape to host a website, pretty impressive stuff. I ordered an Oura ring 18 months ago, but haven’t really used it (or charged it, for what it’s worth) in months now. It made me think… could I build and host this website on my Oura ring as well? Probably not. Also, this isn’t even what this post is about. Kind of embarrassing for you if you believed that.
