Tim gets it. AI is a miracle tool, and we should use it but that doesn't mean outsourcing your thinking, it means using a tool to your advantage, like I'm doing now on my custom game engine. Do I have any game dev experience? No, but I'm using AI also to learn along the way.

[Tim Sweeney @TimSweeneyEpic]

When I was writing Unreal Engine 1, my time was divided as follows:

- Around 30% went to seriously deep coding on hard problems: assembly language texture mappers, C++ BSP trees, data persistence, object oriented systems design, and networking.

- Around 70% was just typing and refactoring large bodies of code needed for a complete engine feature set. This was not hard, and while I was doing it my mind was mostly on the deeper coding topics, thinking and planning for what's next. It didn't feel much different from vibe coding today, except that it was just me typing code on an IBM Model M keyboard rather than prompting it and reviewing the results.

So, it has always seemed perfectly logical that we would rely on AI for that 70%, once the AI could do it with a similar quality standard as we could, which has never been perfection. It came as no surprise that, after a few years of AI model evolution, it was able to take the reigns on that 70% and free up programmers' time for more valuable tasks.

What's more of a surprise is the emergence of AI as a sort of insta-Carmack able to solve hard technical problems quite cleverly and often cleanly, and that it's able to reason about and work in complex 3D scenes both by operating the tools and by directly understanding the raw data files.

I abandoned assembly language in 1998 when out-of-order CPUs made much simpler C/C++ code faster, and never I missed it. If prompting through architectural documents, concept art, and design plans can transcend typing code and tweaking vertices, that will enable developers to spend their time on higher-level, higher value technical and creative tasks.

What matters is the end product, whether it's a game or an engine. Anything developers can do to try out more ideas and make better software and games faster is a win for everyone.

viendo a elxokas jugar al wow y no entiendo nada pero que bonito es

[Sergi @CodeWithSergi]

@dsp_ Para cosas personales puedes usar los tokens ilimitados del trabajo o tienes que pagarte tu propia sub haciendo economía circular? jajajaj

[Sergi @CodeWithSergi]

@SergioGMN Si y si jajajaja, se ven tal cual

[Sergi @CodeWithSergi]

New project: game engine using vulkan

@rauchg nice

@thdxr if the person is younger, you can call it namejr

[Sergi @CodeWithSergi]

Time to reverse engineer anything.

@SergioGMN Si no estuviese ahorrando para la hipoteca me pillaría la de 200, porque si con la de 100 ya tiras con la de 200 tienes un x10 mínimo

We've unified plans across Grok, Cursor, and X Premium.

Introducing The X Subscription.

I always say this: tinybird is the planetscale of OLAP

[Tinybird @tinybird]

When a Tinybird Forward deployment rewrites a table, the new version is built while production keeps serving from the live one.

That new version is a staging deployment. You can write to it and query it before anything goes live.

[Sergi @CodeWithSergi]

AFAIK, this is like cloudflare workers but from amazon. It has multi-region deployment support, so that's nice, and it charges you by CPU usage

[Eric Johnson @edjgeek]

YES! It's out it's out, I am SO excited for this! #AWSLambda Web Functions are a game changer! A true HTTP request handler and Each execution environment handles multiple requests simultaneously (up to 128 concurrent requests per environment). Multi-region deploy, and so much more! -> https://t.co/gVCbqU39Si

PlanetScale just shipped another banger. People don't realize how hard it is to support another cloud provider. My time working on an observability product really gave me another perspective hahah. Kudos to the team!

[PlanetScale @PlanetScale]

PlanetScale is now available on Azure

@alvarombt Si es android, puedes hacer algo con algún agent y que te optimize el uso de RAM. Si es LG como es mi caso, se complica más.

@SergioGMN Nunca es suficiente
