Amazing, better than when I was a kid
Thank you! I tried to add just a little snazz without changing the core.

#22Gorillas was the first game I "learned" programming on as a kid. Fun times going through the source code without understanding anything and inferring it by my self. Well, sort of. :)

#23There's a different input type for numbers, which power and angle are going to be, vs full text input.

#24"practice techniques for AI-assisted development"
I guess people don't like to admit that AI is doing 95% of their job so they pretend they are "practicing techniques" or "experimenting with new models", or "heavily planning the spec"
Writing what you want in English and having the AI spit it out does not take any skill anymore, it's not 2022.

There’s a marked difference in quality depending on context, usage of sub-agents, initial specs, and model-wise a big difference from what Opus would produce and Fable.
I’m not saying I’m hand coding, but saying getting good outputs doesn’t take any technique means your definition of good outputs probably isn’t very refined. And saying it hasn’t taken technique for 4 years is just flat wrong.

Same. This was true for so many of us. An open source education.

I agree there is some technique involved. It's just so trivial compared to hand coding that I find the comparison meaningless.

#28I was at awe when I ran MARIO.BAS on QBasic back in 1998. Probably I got the code from a QB forum. It kept me glued to screen for weeks.

#29This took me back. I used to build little text based choose your own adventure games in QBasic. Very fun (I won my first game!)

I did the same in QBasic (and Tandy Color Basic)!
I feel like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books were a sort of precursor to programming for a lot of us. Basic if/then/goto.
