GitHub light mode = work GitHub dark mode = play Anyone else feel the same? Might have to make a plugin to do this on a schedule, and per-repo.

Unreal Tournament was released for Windows on this day, 25 years ago (1999). Facing Worlds is one of the greatest multiplayer maps of all time.
Another new demo today. This time, how we can rebuild a phone routing system using real phones, but easily put an AI agent in the loop to act as a virtual front desk. You get the "press 1 for X" menu you're used to, but can talk to it like a human 🤯 github.com/livekit-exampl…
