we used to call this agency
AI makes it painfully clear that most work was never about typing. it was about deciding. the people who were good at deciding were always the valuable ones. now everyone can see it

I'm not sure a lot of people understand what game coders actually do. We're not spending 9 hours a day finely hand crafting artisan software and expressing our inner dreams... 90% of the time we are fighting compilers and existing architecture, having to work out how undocumented code works, and tracking down obscure bugs and behavioural issues. Most of game programming is just difficult, tedious, laborious grunt work, and the cognitive load we have to endure to get anything done is tiring and frustrating. No game coder is doing it for this 90% of the job. We make games because the 10% that IS actually about making things fun and expressing ourselves is so incredibly rewarding it makes the other 90% bearable. Now imagine if there was a tool, some kind of AI agent maybe, which could do most of the 90% grunt work for you, leaving you to just make all the decisions and express your creativity. How amazing would that be. How completely revolutionary would that be.

COD is starting to become like the Indian street cooking videos where they do all these flashy fast hand movements and head shaking for no reason.
whoever is complaining about the #MW4 movement is just ass

Vibe coder: prompt -> app release -> 0 revenue Software engineer: Rent vps -> prompt -> build their own software factory system before build the app -> write hundreds of markdown spec -> thinking of scalability from day 1 -> mocking vibe coder -> app release -> 0 revenue
If nobody reads code anymore, what separates a software engineer from a vibe coder?

The real ones don't care how you create, they just want you to create.
Miyomoto's response to why AI is good is so eloquent I am honestly impressed.

These days, you should be building lots of tools for yourself. Build a tool to polish an animation, lots of knobs to fine tune. A tool to visualise performance issues. A tool to populate your UI with realistic data. Leverage AI to build a tool that builds *the* tool.

pretending your written code is less slop than frontier models is a huge cope btw

"I used to be satisfied just playing video games. Then I found I required more… unusual entertainment." "Hunting and killing live human beings?" "No. Vibecoding useless software."

people think AI users are lazy. it's the opposite. i've never worked this much in my life. the difference is that now the hours go into the thing i actually care about, not into fighting tools i don't understand
