I do find it really interesting that more coding agents don't have this as an toggleable feature, sometimes you really need this level of control to get useful capability

I feel like if that's the thought process, that should be stated up front There's a ton of incredibly talented neurodivergent people in our ecosystem who would trip up on that question just because of how it's framed Because

Honestly, if I'd have heard that, I'd hire you in a heartbeat, you solved the problem without increasing total cost of ownership to the company and meant we could move forwards I'd actually trust you to take on harder problem

You're basically describing the Random Model by Greg Stolze[0] Basically someone creates a work and puts a price on it and then like with Kickstarter asks people to fund it, however after it's funded it becomes public and is relea

Ok that's fair, he's a pretty unusual or at least he's a writer that cares a great deal about his writing, he's talked in the past about his writing gets getting passes from people so there's at least a quality bar

I'm just going to chime in here and say thank you, there still really isn't in my mind a comparable offering to heroku's git push and go straight to a reasonable production I honestly find it a bit nuts, there's offering

I mean it has, but the situation is getting ridiculous, I'm at the point where I'm honestly not sure what special set of magical incantations and rituals I need to do to get this process to work, it seems to change between differe

I don't disagree with any of that =) It's what I've been doing, I'm asking what I'm asking to see if it surfaces anything that I've been missing / not thinking about and trying to work out what people woul

I am thank you, however the reason I'm engaging here is that what's being asked for from what I can see is a very different experience to screeps, for example screeps is top down much more programmer designed and has specific affo

Genuine question to you as someone who's been building in this space, what would you want / need to play a game as a programmer? An API? An SDK? An in-game editor? Tutorials? Or is this more a "I want a factorio-like"? I

To be honest as far as I can see the answer to that is nothing I've been getting increasingly interested in trying to work out what this would look like

I mean you're not wrong I suppose the way I approach this is, I use libraries which solve problems that I have, that in principle understand, because I know and understand the theory, but in practice I don't know the specific deta

I'm going to try and be honest with you because I'm where you were at 3 months ago I honestly don't think there's anything I can say to convince you because from my perspective that's a fools errand and the reason f
