@timurkhodyrev Will Gothic 2 come with the Remaster mod option?

[Dr Milan Milanović @milan_milanovic]

Someone builds a project management tool with Claude Code over a weekend. Ships it. Tweets "just replaced Jira."

The app works. One user, happy path, localhost. Then two people edit the same record simultaneously, and the data is silently corrupted. They don't know what an optimistic lock is. They never needed to before.

The prototype is maybe 1% of what makes software actually work. The other 99% is what you find after real users show up: race conditions, failed transactions, sessions expiring at the wrong moment, a payment webhook that fires twice and charges someone double. AI didn't cover any of that. It built exactly what you asked for.

And the confidence is the worst part. "Just need to adjust a few things before we go live." The few things you need to adjust are the product. That's like laying a foundation and telling people you basically built the house.

Vibe coding works. For personal tools, throwaway scripts, and prototypes you'll never put in front of paying users, it's genuinely fast and good enough. I use it. But there's a hard ceiling, and it shows up the moment the stakes get real.

Agentic engineering is a different discipline. You're not prompting for code. You're decomposing problems, designing system boundaries, writing specs precise enough that the agent doesn't go sideways. You review everything it builds, because it will make mistakes that only look wrong if you know what correct looks like. You guide it. You catch what it misses.

If you don't know what a distributed transaction is, the agent won't save you. It'll generate something broken with complete confidence, and you won't know until production.

The hard part of software was never writing the first 200 lines.

It never was.

@timurkhodyrev @FroozyyP Take all the time you need. Gothic deserves to not be rushed out for once!

@robotaxi @robotaxi Can you handle Boston?

[Max Ng @maxneaga]

@dmitri_dolgov Come to Boston! If you can make it here, you’ll make it anywhere.

@gothicthegame Please fix the shifted camera. It should be centered as in the original.

@randomrecruiter Offshoring and outsourcing of the tech jobs is a big national security threat.

The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

@KamalaHarris 25,000 towards down payment means for a typical buyer the buying capacity will increase by $100,000-$125,000 making homes less affordable and increasing average homeowner’s debt load.

[Max Ng @maxneaga]

@timurkhodyrev Glad you are sticking with the original atmosphere of Gothic.

[Gothic Game @gothicthegame]

Prisoners, it's time to face reality and embrace your fate. Make yourself at home in the Valley of Mines, a place full of danger, crime and greed. You will stay here for a very. Long. Time.

@MikeConnollyMA Make them do public service works in exchange for shelter.

At $245m for 3 months, and at $2,000/months rent, we could house 40,833 American families for 3 months!

[Max Ng @maxneaga]

@MikeConnollyMA How about we make them do public service work in exchange for shelter and food they are getting? If you need shelter - fine, everyone deserves a roof over their head. But you have to pay back to the community by doing work - clean streets, repair infrastructure, etc.

@Apple why are the new emoji the highlight of the OS update? The "security updates" and "bug fixes" deserve being listed first. You should not need a full OS update to deliver new emoji.

Fools vs the future. Naive fools who do not realize they’d benefit from automation of mundane tasks including driving and would rather go back to the Stone Age.

I think that this may be eversource’s finest work.
