Tinker Tuesday for May 12th, 2026

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

Had a rough week at work, so no tinkering for me.

How have you been doing @Southkraut?

Got quite a bit done.

I generally took a step back from vibe coding to clean up my architecture and do some proper low-level design work instead of letting the copilot go wild. It had done so a little too much, and the codebase had become somewhat bloated and intransparent, so this change of policy was, in retrospect, overdue. I also stopped grinding technical issues in order to switch to new features. Nothing ready to show so far; I'm just making NPCs (cylinders really) run around, seek food, avoid or attack each other.
