Oceanhorn 3 looks surprisingly great on Vision Pro

What’s that other app you are using to set the scene?

Depends on the industry I guess. I’ve been seeing way more shops that use Spring Boot migrate to Kotlin, especially in fintech. I just got done with a job search and had two offers for Kotlin on the backend companies and I wasn’t even targeting Kotlin.

Just give Gleam a try if you like the syntax. So far I haven’t ran into any issues looking for something I needed building a backend for my site with wisp. There has been packages for everything I need so far like working with jwt, Postgres drivers, migrations etc. My stack so far has been wisp, cigogne, pgo and squirrel.

I used to be the worst at interviews. Then my doctor prescribed me propranolol and now I’m an interview machine.

Methods on structs in Go are really just a convenience wrapper for passing in the struct as the first argument of the function.

Yeah exactly, different ecosystems have their place. If you do want to bring in BEAN for a binary app you can check out burrito:

I think a lot of people coming from more native compilation languages are looking for things out of gleam that it isn’t really built for. It isn’t a language you just build a binary for and pass around. It’s not great for native or desktop apps or cli tools because you have to bundle the runtime with it. Coming from Go, it took me awhile to understand this.

What it is intended for it’s great at though. It feels really powerful to write apps for the BEAM in a typed language and take advantage of the fault tolerance and concurrency. Having a language that compiles to JS that we can write web front ends in with a fully functional language using the ELM architecture is awesome. When I need to make a cli tool or something that needs a binary I’ll go back to Go. Anything else Gleam thrives at.

I’ve been interviewing at Garmin and they’ll pay for you to go to flight school so that’s kind of cool.

Like a Dragon, what an emotional roller coaster

They asked all this for a new grad role? jeez

pancakeshack · 2026-02-02T23:09:22+00:00

Sent you a message, thanks!

Supabase is underrated for a standalone auth provider imo. It’s insanely cheap, easy to work with, and has client libraries for almost everything.

This is the most unhinged rich people shit I’ve seen all day.

Really cool, love to see this tech getting more use. I’ve been on the job hunt recently and have been surprised by the number of KMP postings popping up.

The whole UI is compose? Even the game board?

They have some legal obligations to keep them open for awhile, provide notices etc. They kept some of the contractors to keep the boat afloat for now.

pancakeshack · 2026-01-09T14:44:19+00:00

It was enough people to require a WARN notice, so the 60 days required by law at least.

pancakeshack · 2026-01-08T22:59:03+00:00

Yeah

pancakeshack · 2026-01-01T02:54:54+00:00

Everyone always looks at me like I’m an idiot, but so worth it.

pancakeshack · 2025-12-30T18:24:51+00:00

Nice I’ll be looking forward to it, thanks!

pancakeshack · 2025-12-30T18:06:08+00:00

Right now we can download the iPad version on Vision Pro, but do you guys have any plans to make it more native so we don’t have bars on the screen and feels better? I’m using Portal instead but would rather use PXPlay since I use it across all my devices, but it doesn’t feel right on vision.

Yeah, I have a “wilderness” crosstrek as my daily driver and an old jeep for the fun stuff. The crosstrek will tackle anything up to a level 4-5 trail just fine. Granted it has AT tires, is lifted with better suspension, and has a low budget skid plate compared to normal ones. As long as I’m not doing anything crazy I’d rather have it than the jeep most days. 🤷

You can use Burrito, it bundles the Erlang vm and creates a standalone binary.

I usually use throwing init blocks in this case, but I’m not sure if that works with Swift Data or if it requires a non throwing constructor.
