> he out-earns me fairly frequently in his circle of gaming programmers Can you expand on this? Your teenage son makes more money than you do professionally, by vibe coding video games?

Who said anything about "vibe coding"? Using coding tools like Claude Code as just another tool in the belt is something the overwhelming bulk of professional devs do now (and given that my son managed to find a number of clients paying for his work, he qualifies as professional). Pejorative "vibe coding" nonsense doesn't change this.

  Call it whatever you want then, I'm still interested in the question at hand – your son makes more money than you do professionally, using Claude Code to make something video game related?

    He makes solutions for people and they pay him money for doing so. I mean...pretty much exactly how we all operate? He's excellent at networking and has built an enormous connection tree.

      That's interesting, good for him! When I was a teenager I spent all my time playing Halo 2, I didn't write my first line of code until my early 20s.

      This sounds so sketchy and vague. Why do you need to keep defending it, if it's complely legit?
      - llm_nerd 7mo ago
        "Defending it"? Sketchy and vague is similarly hilariously pathetic language, and you sound like an absolute creep. I have zero obligation to detail the work my minor son does to random weird foot-stomping, entitled creeps on HN, and these bizarrely insecure demands by professional failures is...telling. In this case I assume you're keying off of the other clown who, based upon absolutely nothing (but apparently their own professional failure), is certain it must be "cheating software". How pathetic. If this is your lot in life, Jesus Christ find a different career. Maybe the trades or something.

    Almost certainly referring to cheating software.
