What‘s relevant then? We still put the code in version control, not the shitty prompts that made it.

I don't know. It looks shallow and simple, not even a demo.

I'm always puzzled by these claims. I usually know exactly what I want my code to look like. Writing a prompt instead and waiting for the result to return takes me right out of the flow. Sure, I can try to prompt and ask for larger junks, but then I have to review and understand the generated output first. If this makes people 10x faster, they must have worked really slow before.

This is happening already and it wastes so, so much time. Producing code never was the bottleneck. The bottleneck still is to produce the right amount of code and to understand what is happening. This requires experience and taste. My prediction is, in the near future there will be piles of unmaintainable bloat of AI generated code, nobody's understanding and the failure rate of software will go to the moon.

I‘m working on Astroloot, think of a Diablo/PoE like ARPG but in space.

I‘ve just finished the final pinnacle boss of the endgame in the version released last weekend.

Oh, nice!

If you like PoE, you should feel right at home!

Thank you!

I have a SteamDeck myself and the game constantly runs at 90fps. The game has full controller support, so it is very comfortable to play on Deck.

I'm working on a video game called Astroloot[1], a mix of bullet-heaven and scifi-space ARPG. After two years, I've finally completed the main-campaign and now start with the endgame. Ever since playing Diablo 2, I've wanted to create an ARPG. Have to say, this project brought back the joy of programming for me.

Turbo Pascal was my first programming language, I remember hacking together small games with it and sharing them at school on floppy disks.

It's a shame what Embarcadero has done to Turbo Pascal's successor Delphi. It's really an amazing language if it weren't for the god awful IDE.

If you're happen to still work on Delphi enterprise software I'd highly recommend to have a look at OmniPascal (https://www.omnipascal.com/), a very smart VisualStudio code plugin. It's a gem that provides JetBrains-like quality completions/refactorings for Delphi/Pascal.

Hey everyone! Due to my frustration with JSP at work, I've written jte during lockdown - a small template engine that gets out of the way as much as possible. Frontend can write plain HTML to display stuff and use plain Java to receive data from the backend. At the same time the jte compiler understands HTML and does context-sensitive output escaping at compile time. jte also has full IntelliJ support for code suggestions, refactorings and highlighting. Unlike JSP, the jte plugin does not require the Ultimate Edition!

Any Java folks around? I’d love to hear what you think about it :-)

My contribution is a tower defense I've been working on over the last 7 years and that I'm still regularily playing myself: https://mazebert.com/ The graphics are pretty bad (I'm drawing them myself, heh), but there's a lot of depth and content to it.

There are three optional, one-time in app purchases, where you can tip me with a cookie, beer or whisky and get a cosmetic card in return.
