Yeah I’ve never seen it capture video before, but if you specify in your `AGENTS.md` that you want to test certain types of workflows, it will take progressive screenshots using a sleep interval or by interacting with the DOM.

Agreed. Anthropic added a plugin accessible under `/plugins` to CC to make it even easier to add MCP Playwright to your project. It automatically handles taking screenshots. It's not perfect though - I've personally found CC&

Nice. Kind of wish they'd used a shader to approximate the barrel distortion in the curvature of the Tandy monitor.

Nice job. Back when “brain training games” (like Brain Age and Lumosity) were all the rage, there were similar spatial-practice games that used unfolding mechanics such as opening and closing a suitcase and visualizing how the items would b

I'm rather surprised not to see a single mention of the Halo effect in the article or ensuing comments. This is a relatively well-known phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect

Nice. I have a similar loop (Opus 4.6 plan <-> Codex xhigh review) that I kind of run in an iterative feedback loop until meaningful actionables converge down to zero. I initially gave some thought to automating this because CC/C

Nice job - reminds me of the old game Synthesia which uses a similar falling note approach to teach piano. One nice thing about it is that it lets you switch between the following notes and actual grand staff sheet music. https://

+1 for Davinci Resolve. I used the free version for years (Windows and Mac versions) before finally picking up a copy of Studio which is still very reasonably priced and is a flat fee.

Sure! The interlacing CRT effect is a nice touch BTW. I held off touching Godot for a long time because I had heard that its WASM/WebGL/etc. support could be a bit spotty but your game looks great so I'm thinking I should giv

From the article: > The Get command in Visual Basic 6 starts at one. The first byte in the file being read is 1, unlike Java (and almost everything else) which starts at 0. Dimension indexing in BASIC related languages strikes again! H

Rust is the crossfit of programming languages. Everybody around you needs to know at all times. On a serious note, nice job OP. This game kind of feels like an ASCII version of Terraria. Might I recommend extended ASCII or unicode for the

Nice. You have a similar setup to mine. I've found OpenAI's gpt-5.3-codex (at xhigh) to be pretty dismal at actual implementation but it's surprisingly adept at performing a high level feature branch review and catching issue

This. Software development probably requires some of the least boilerplate memorization in all of STEM. Deductive reasoning and imagination are far more important than being flexing that you’ve committed quicksort to memory.

Agreed, but you have to think about the context: 1. Most people are going to be viewing these pictures on a smartphone. 2. The audience for this particular brand of “lurid patriotism” isn’t likely to be very AI aware/savvy. 3. Because

I think this applies a bit less to the AI sphere, which has the purported goal of making things easier and more automated over time. 90% of the time if you have an AI question you can just... ask the LLM itself. Remember all the hoopla ov

The 2D sprites in the bike riding scene are a bit of a mess. Honestly consistent 2D animation is difficult. You've basically got two approaches right now - use a openpose style controlnet representing a walk cycle in conjunction with i
