Simplest fix my ass. 10 lines of code, sure. But that completely ignores the difficulty and work to get to that solution in the first place. This attitude is legitimately why CEOs and higher ups treat devs like trash because they don’t understand how might be a nontrivial task
NASA is now hiring aspiring astronauts for future missions to live and work on the Moon
The role comes with a salary of over $164,000 a year, and only US citizens can apply
-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.
