  • I’ve fixed stick drift on a lot my personal controllers just by spraying some plastic-safe electric cleaner spray in around the drifting stick.

    well, turns out, it was even easier. a single NES-cartridge-sty blow into the stick-well removed whatever piece of dust was in the sensor

    so, if anyone else comes across this at some point: a puff of compressed air might be enough (blowing into it not recommended)



  • I feel like this is the difference between the people who became developers for the craft and developers who became one just for the job

    If you’re just doing it as a job, you tend to just want to get stuff done, as long as it works

    If you became one for the art of the craft, you now feel the things described in the post. You don’t create anymore, you just delegate and code review. The LLM code might even be perfectly fine. But you don’t create, and it’s just tiring
