I run Claude Sonnet 4.6 via Github Copilot and it seems very reasonable to me there. I just create an issue and assign it to Copilot and then hop into its session and sometimes redirect or give feedback after it reaches a stopping point and

I'm using them more and more right now, but I only started really diving into agent-based A.I. coding the past couple of months. It's especially nice after work, as I tend to be pretty low energy after work lately, and have a hard

Some people have the right message but the wrong timing (i.e. too early). And for some people this could already be true. I'm already assuming I have maybe one more job change in me as a software engineer and then it might be extremely

I'm not looking at the moment, but I did notice I haven't gotten a ping from a recruiter in a long time (at least six months, maybe a year at this point). In the past I'd usually get at least one a month, but lately it's

No. I don't even trust myself to make purchase decisions >$100. I'm probably going to make a bad purchase decision >$100 tonight. Probably involving a board game.

I have yet to go over the standard limits (by that I mean whatever is included with my normal Copilot and ChatGPT subscriptions), but I only started really using it the past couple of months. At least right now I don't see myself going

I've been having some pretty good luck with Lua and the Love2D game I've been working on. Although I guess that could be considered somewhat popular.

by cableshaft 6mo ago
Love2D is pretty good, and what I'm using to develop the game I'm working on (Claude works pretty well with it too, I've been assigning it some tasks on Github). Pico-8 is a bit simpler and is also based on Lua. There's

Are you asking pretty standard questions? It's possible they prepared for what they're likely to be asked ahead of time and have scripts to help them not forget. I've done that before A.I., gone through lists of interview que

I deal with it by not worrying about it. When I feel like doing it (for my own projects), I do, if not, I don't. I spent almost all of 2025 without touching any of my personal projects, although I've started working on them again

Agreed. Feels like I see this accusation made on every other post on this site nowadays. And maybe it's even true. But if it's not, it's insulting to the poster, and if it is, then who cares if people are engaging with the po

Demand and need are two different things. Does the world need more software? No, not really. Does the world want (and demand) more software? Absolutely, all the time.

This is a weird analogy. You can ask the A.I. to fix the issue at any time of day (assuming the person asking someone with enough technical knowledge that can evaluate the fix at least). You won't always be able to get ahold of someone

Everything is a skill, depending on what the company values. Early on I used to do work for temp agencies, and they'd care about the ability to use (even on a rudimentary level) Microsoft Word, Excel, and how fast you could type. I&#x2

I don't really know, the client I've been working at for the past 4.5 years has only given me access to agent based A.I. two weeks ago, so this is all pretty new to me (it's a large corporation and they didn't allow it u

I did choose to do it, so it wasn't a nightmare. I was wanting extra guidance on what to include, and so I asked them (while they both weren't busy), they gave me feedback, I did that in like a minute or two with A.I. (when normal

Speed has a lot to do with it, yeah. A.I. is now often doing in 5-10 minutes what would take me hours on my own for any given task (well based on the last couple of weeks at least, I wasn't doing much agent based A.I. coding before tha

Pretty much anyone who's not you, will make code in an unpredictable way. I review other people's code and I go 'really, you decided to do it that way?' quite often, especially with coders with less years of experience t

Well, I have a backlog of at least 20 graveyard game projects that I stopped working on from one frustration or another over the past 20 years, or getting excited by a new exciting idea and leaving it alone, that I wouldn't mind resurr

All I know is it feels very different using it now then it did a year ago. I was struggling to get it to do anything too useful a year ago, just asking it to do a small function here or there, often not being totally satisfied with the resu

I have a date I use that's incorrect, but consistent so I can remember it if I need to, that I use for age verification for anything that doesn't truly need an accurate birthdate (example, age verification to view games on Steam).

So I've handcoded and released a couple dozen games in the past, but I'm now old with responsibilities and a day job of coding, and my brain just doesn't have the energy to mess about with it like it used to after a day of wo

I thought Steam just required you to disclose your A.I. use. Or are you referring to players on the platform being hostile to it? Here's an article from January talking about their updates on gen-AI disclosure: https://www.k

I miss my fast food job (and especially my retail job), to a certain extent. I also worked in a warehouse and a factory for a bit, and there are certain things I miss about those as well. I don't miss the low pay though. And my health

Flipping burgers really isn't that difficult. It was my first job, and I even have nostalgia for it at times. If I had to go do that again, the main problem would for me would be that I don't think I could stand in one place for t
