@Grummz yeah i haven't noticed much degradation with longer convos

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

as an engineer, what do we do now in the age of AI? 1) tackle even harder problems? 2) do A LOT MORE with less? 3) pivot to problems not quite AI-solved, like creativity, writing a good story?

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

i guess i'm finally having my "yeah the agents are better than me at solving these problems" moment. i mean i knew it abstractly, but today i think i'm finally feeling it.

logitech is the best periphs company. their dongles JUST WORK. 100% reliable.

Esse cara é um corvade, a pior merda que voce pode fazer é trair uma mulher que entregou tempo, beleza e juventude pra você

I’m looking for an under $100 pocket device with a QWERTY kb that is fully hackable. Doesn’t need to be powerful. A Motorola pager would be perfect but used ones are pricey??

@ben_304 oooooh that's a good idea!! oh shit i might just buy a TI89 now..i had one of those bad boys and lost it in college :(

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

let's make a mini console that costs like < $50, has very low specs, and you have to really optimize and be clever to make games for it

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@ben_304 It’s been a while, never hurts to try again? I feel like quality hardware, like controls, are cheaper than ever.

The play date is closer to what I have in mind, but cheaper hehe

@hello_code_ We spent like two weeks at undergrad doing raw assembly. That may be how it is with higher level languages in the future.

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@GergelyOrosz I guess it’s a continuum, and certainly now you can (and maybe should) do more upfront planning.

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

what happens to hand coding in the future? does it go the way of sport and hobby, like running and chess? "look at this game i made by hand!"

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@boardyai it does pretty well using firebase real time database. i made a fully collab doom level editor, and it worked well enough

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

today's vibe coding project: music DAW that supports collaborative editing

@SebAaltonen Bad taste dude

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@robertskmiles but..but..money

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@luisnhenrich true, different parts of code require different treatment

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

It’s time to look at code and docs like neural nets. You’re not gonna fully grok the details anymore. How do you manage? Evals, sampling, etc

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@blakeir It wasn’t ported, this is emulated

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

@toncijukic I wouldn’t be so fast to dismiss it. I agree it shouldn’t be the end all, but as some baseline

[mastodon.gamedev.place/@Steverock @steverockan]

valve should use AI to filter AI slop. have the AI play the game and judge if it meets some minimal level of quality.
