what, exactly, were the failures?

coding assistants are not visual-first, they are code-first. so it makes sense that they excel more at coding.

I don't find that the models are so capable that the workflow can be "much less about prompts". you still need to be in the loop, prompting and validating, to get good output. people will say otherwise -- I say those people are full of shit, have an adverse incentive, or don't have high standards.

the "in-app purchases" label is reeeeally not worth the in-game tip jar, IMO. move the tip jar out of the game and remove the label. the label is enough to turn many people off (like me).

"The software should have fits-in-head complexity. Stop with the 500 NPM packages and random dependencies for everything. Its terrible for your supply chain security, so stop it!"

program complexity is not only measured in packages. most useful programs do not have "fits-in-head" complexity.
