  • @neilhenning@mastodon.gamedev.place I can relate very much. Thanks for writing this! Collective therapy is the only way to make sense of this. Also, try Codex instead of Claude some day. And try Pi with Codex. There's a lot to see out there.

  • @neilhenning@mastodon.gamedev.place nice article, I was just drafting a blog post of my own along similar lines :) It can one shot some stuff impressively but recently working on high performance stuff and multi threading needs a lot of guidance.
