    I actually did build a game (with my 5 year old boy) recently. https://apps.apple.com/no/app/b%C3%A5tspillet/id6791630382 We had a lot of fun building it and I used Lua and LÖVE2D …

    Even worse, imgur doesn't even have a cookie banner for me. To be in such violation of the GDPR is going to give me nightmares! /s

    Games is one of those industries that I can't fathom how to do profitably, and that's why I'm not a game designer. There's just so much competition and I don't really understand th…

    What is this shitshow of a website called space.com ? There's ads, popups everywhere! Edit: For those who think I'm too harsh: https://imgur.com/a/YkmtOZ9

    Cool project but .. reality is that people will generally not choose pgrust over Postgres, even 5-10 years from now. The problem is not that it may be technically superior and fast…

    AI slop that's also simply wrong. Flagged.

    I'm semi-assuming we're talking about professionals who'd excel with their products in any framework and language. It's highly productive if you do it right.

    I mean if you're doing it this way, you're really not applying best practices as a developer (never mind as a Django developer). > Models being passed around everywhere, queries ha…

    Completely trusting it to the AI is negligent, I don't think any serious projects do it this way. A lot of AI usage yes, but reviews and tweaks still require someone reading and un…

    What do you mean, if you still code? I assume everyone on HN still at the very least review actual code in an IDE or editor.

    Where's the car? "F" does nothing. And I can't find any vehicle.

    > I'd rather see a shitty Microsoft Paint drawing as opposed to some AI image. So spot on! And, with that Paint drawing, it'll probably illustrate what you mean and at the same tim…

    Claude sounds even worse in other languages because the LLM clearly "thinks" in English, then translates. It's horrific at times.

    Is that really how LA central is these days, the mexicans and the hood taking over?

    Sim City 2000 for example had elevation [1]. The issue is that LLM's simply don't "get this". It's vibecoded. [1] https://patcoston.com/sc2k/city/images/Calebopolis_Big.png

    I've been busy with a rendered isometric map recently and I figured this is something Opus can help with, but it was near useless at understanding isometric designs along with elev…

    It's vibe coded. LLM's have a hard time understanding elevation and isometric display.

    No, the grumpy coworker was called upon for something you as his peer could have asked from Claude and not wasted his time. Ridiciulous I know, but I've actually seen this happen.

    Both horrific (from a user's perspective, perhaps not the underlying code). I've noticed another type of AI slop that's prevalent in all the popular models; font sizes and variatio…
