    Elevatorpedia is a fun read. I particularly enjoy reading about service modes, such as the Sabbath service (hands-free operation). https://elevation.fandom.com/wiki/Sabbath_service…

    "unsustainable" is an odd word to use for a hobby. They aren't trying to hit productivity goals. Maybe they just still like programming.

    They started that migration years ago. I don't remember them citing agentic coding as a reason. Do you have a source?

    The Halloween trick-or-treating maze-type game was my favorite from CN. The summer resort games (iirc one big trade quest) were nice too.

    I see the utility in this as an extension to git / source control. But how do VCs make money of it?
