As a parent, I'm very proud. As a programmer, I'm surprised - I can say a few words (eg: "look into css background styles") and he can say it to Gemini and slowly figure out stuff on his own. As a test player of this gam

Kid's dad here. My goal was only to "teach him to code" .. the motivation to build a game was all his. He mixed something something he loves (fantasy worlds) with something that's useful (learning to code), so I think th

We originally posted a link to the game on on reddit in r/programming, but they removed the post because it was an "app demo" and suggested a blog post instead. That got him motivated to write about the game (And I leveraged

Appreciate the feedback on the code style & variables. I raised this previously but perhaps external feedback will be what he needs to get him motivated to clean it up :)

improving clarity of the charging aspect is on his roadmap for v2 :) if you use the throwing star multiple times, it charges up other ones. But if you use another one, then you have to charge it up again. I believe 4 throwing stars give y

He gets feedback from us from time to time when he writes really bad code. There are still many things that can be improved code wise, but I'm letting it slide to keep motivation up at the moment. improving clarity of the charging asp

it seems google switched to some kind of semantic search instead of word based search. It doesn't search for what your words are, but instead what your words kindof sortof mean. Which means you always get 'average' results

My son has been working on this game for the last month or so. He got inspired by Prodigy to make his own take on the game. He's coded all the HTML, CSS & JS by hand in VSCode. He's made the animated graphics on his own using

I work for a company [0] in this space. The fundamental problem is that a lot of customers will reach out on operationally expensive channels (chat, calls) about questions that are easily answered from a FAQ, knowledge base or on the websit

WSL2 runs a Linux VM via Hyper-V at close to native performance. However, it slows down if you do any type of cross-os file system communication. So you need an IDE that knows how to work around this (eg: VSCode with WSL2 plugin runs a ser

If you can build/run code in a linux environment: wsl2 gives you linux vm running in hyper-v alongside windows.. the vm pretty much has direct hardware access and is fast. From here, you can install linux based git, rsync, etc ... and
