Similarly to Onno, I write everything in markdown first, and convert using pandoc. Then I use weasyprint to take the resulting HTML with CSS applied on it, and generate a PDF from all that.

The result is quite nice, and this system has served me for more thant 15 years. A friend working in HR shared that it does stand out, compared to most submissions.

Here's a fragment of Makefile to summarize the concept:

docname=2026

all:
	pandoc -t html5 ${docname}.md -o ${docname}.html
	weasyprint -s ${docname}.css ${docname}.html ${docname}.pdf

They dream of reviving McCarthyism

A couple years ago (? damn is hard to keep the time on these things) they had this awesome case of deploying drones from trucks that drove into russia.

It's much harder to control their production, though. They don't need enriched uranium and huge facilities, you can put them together in your bedroom (not at scale, obv.)

Oh man, this brings back memories. Used to play it in multiplayer with a couple of friends a lot at some point. Very well crafted, balanced game. The graphics are beautiful.

I thought the same before I saw the plates. It's everyday reality here 🥲

Hm that's a good one. I sometimes tighten up the skin when moving from the bowl to the baking pan, but many times do not.

Thank you for the feedback. I do score on most occasions. The shot in the comment is scored, but the cut often disappears, so maybe it should be deeper. I am a bit worried about the dough running off to the sides if scored too deep.

I also suspect proofing is the issue.

Svg support is also native, which is great for certain applications.

It's such a fun game, always "maximizes narrative", as it says.

Similar genre: Necesse. It looks a bit ugly, but also very enjoyable.

We jad a junior to train while we all WFH, but he was a very receptive and smart guy, so it was kind of easy. The last stage of code review, we would go through all changes together in a meeting. I would explain the reasons something may be a bad idea (e.g. harder to maintain later on). Other things were also handled in meetings, so i didn't feel it too different from what I'd do in the office, such as designs/whiteboarding.

This does require enough capacity from seniors, though.

In short, it can work, though some people may prefer face to face contact, and the organization/availability has to allow for some hand holding.

Oh yes, forgot to mention that. I don't like okra, but it is very popular in this recipe.
