Good. I've worked in several organizations where we had Agile.

With the years, I've come to think about it as a sing and dance designed to make the project managers, PMs and sales feel like the actually impactful ICs considered them.

There's something really absurd about making programmers sit down and say it's a 5 or 8 effort, then punish them for being "wrong". All it achieves is reduce velocity at best, with the illusion that it's for the greater good.

Congratulations! Also excellent future for the EU and Ukraine

I don't see how seeing the current feed of words and going "not this one" before they go online is difficult. You could literally filter 10 per minute and clean up the misfires

You’d think one person eyeballing topics and flagging stuff would solve it

The other day, I looked at the trending topics. Top one was "Lesbians". I was wondering if there was some kind of development in politics. Nope.

It was all porn. I was on a call with a friend and he checked from his account too and it was there as well, so this wasn't some kinda A/B test thing. It disappeared after a bit. My point is the algo is a bit wonky.

Thanks for your service, you got kids like me into PCs back then.

Sounds useful, but the UX / UI really needs some love here! Maybe good to have a pass with the AI?

That's sick. Ty for sharing!

Oh yeah Smash is god tier. Saw his name on so many amazing FLT demos

Damn, that’s awesome. Any memory to share?

Great demo. My favorite of theirs is MF Real. Nothing crazy but so stylish https://youtu.be/rvhGp9NGwos

None. That would defeat the entire purpose

Literally just singing! It’s an mp3 :)

The game was notoriously hard to crack too. Rockstar had a lot of former demosceners, so they put all sorts of protection that would mess with the game.

I recall my friend describing Nico being randomly drunk, or vehicles suddenly accelerating. Razor eventually nailed it iirc

Thank you

Somebody needed to hack the Soviets! CCC were beasts

This demo is a salute to everyone in the scene. And it’s emotional. Had to be this version!

ASD - Spin lives rent free in my head. I remember a colleague explaining how the morphing between meshes was really just random noise but the proximity and speed made it look like a real transformation. So cool.

Should out to TheBlackLotus, Fairlight, Orange, CNCD also for those of you who want to look up epic demos.

Such a throwback. If you were doing floppies there was the whole sing and dance you’d do with pkzip or arj to split your files across many disks!

Do you know if someone is hosting these in web radio format so I could stream in a car and such?

Edit: better answer below

Idk what Revision actually enforces but that used to be the rule at Assembly.

For the 1k, 4k, retro systems etc it’s specified!

Damn, more OG than me. I must have looked up to you and your peers back then! It’s crazy how it was so common to just go in a hex editor and mess with files to see what would happen. Would love to see a submission of what you / group / other notables did.

When I was learning to make games and just hack around the pc, I used to try to copy paste the characters from their nfos to make my own “releases” of mini mods. Didn’t know there were ascii drawing programs! Wonder if you did the same. I’m sure we all did but pre www era made it difficult!

First time the shout outs weren’t just respect or cheese. RIP, til Valhalla.

PS: I never knew Westbam (of Love Parade fame?!) was involved.

The tunnel going from ascii to RT gave me chills and made me teary. It was 40 years of progress in seconds.

A lot of old school demo enthusiasts cried. These guys cracked all the games we couldn’t afford as kids/teens and did the coolest demos and cracktros to show off how cool they were. I saw them as high tech Robin Hoods. Hope you were around for that!

Ty. I pinged the mods and they updated it

Legendary demo group Razor 1911 submitted this beautiful demo as the closer for the Revision 2026 demo competition.

It is an homage to 40 years of hacking from the group.

For context, they were pioneers in both the demoscene and in the warez scene in the 80s-00s.

btw any way to reach out to you (twitter, discord?). big fan of your blog. I'd say on par with Time Extension!
