Admirer of all things, software developer by choice, electrical engineer by training, maker by nature.
Father, cyclist, martial artist, lover of great entertainment. Years ago I could say I had tried just about everything once, sometimes twice. Now I am content to contemplate life in Atlanta.
Seems like a great opportunity for the "Boring Co" to start specializing in digging underground bunkers for data centers.
You KNOW our AI Overlords are going to want it!
Wasn't Epstein a conspiracy theory once? Epstein cover up has made me believe that cover ups DO happen, and if this one was covered up, what else has been cover up?
IMHO any idiot can create a piece of crap.
It takes experience to create good software.
Use your experience Luke! Now you have a team of programmers to create what ever you fancy! Its been great for me, but I have only been programming C++ for 36 years.
As someone who has been a coder/em/vp/founder for over 40 years.
The last 3 months of using Claude Code has convinced me that in order to have a job in software very soon you will have to a both a coder and an engineering manager.
It takes both of those skills to effectively manager AI, and managing AI teams is all it will be about within 2 years. Problem is if you dont understand coding, its hard to see the traps AI falls into. They are both amazingly smart, and incredibly dumb at the same time. Just like people!
>I mean all the major hurdles of making a game aren't really helped much by AI...
I have been using Claude Code to develop a game in unreal engine. It is fricking amazing. Its like hiring someone with 10 years experience to work for you. I am really impressed by how it know game patterns.
>It definitely doesn't get anything visual right really.
Sometimes it struggles to things things right visually, other times it nails it!
I have been using an MCP from gemini image 1.5 to generate my icons. And once it go my styles down, after 20 experiments, it does really good. Notice: It uses high quality by default which will burn up your credits. But if you turn down the image quality to low, it cost around 3 cents an icon.
>There isn't large amounts of automated testing.
Some things can be easily automated for testing. But other things require play testing.
>The art is also going to all be really derivative plagiarism
I am just using it to generate icons, and it does great. For 3D artwork I either use things from the FAB Store, or I pay a team of artists in Pakistan to do it.
Overall I say it is the equivalent to have a senior dev on your team, for 100 bucks a month
