While clearing out a storage unit, I found a pair of gorgeous 1980’s NHT Model One speakers. I remember loving their sound. The foam around the cones has disintegrated, so I get to learn how to do a foam repair. The kits are cheap.

I also found a box with a near-mint Intellivision II console along with a boxed copy of Burgertime, arguably the console’s best game port. The original Intellivision was my family’s first cartridge console (we had a pong system earlier) and without a doubt it set me on my way to becoming a professional game developer.

I’m all in on game development in Love2D. Like many other devs in the past 6 months, the return to terminal-based non-IDE development has felt like freedom. I can go so much faster without having to deal with mouse and menus. And since Love2D is stable and mature, coding agents work great. In fact, I think LLMs might work best with high-level languages like Lua and Python.

Like many fellow Apple “pro” users, I still can’t decide when to use an iPad or MacBook for a given task. You’d think I would generally default to the Mac, especially for development, but the iPad is so much more convenient as a consumption device that I always seem to have it in hand. I think that’s the crux of our iPad dilemma: the convenience of this powerful device amplifies its limitations. And like everyone else, I’m drafting a blog post about it.
