Asked Claude to implement a game based on a text quest book I played in 90s. Letโs see. Tried to play the original text, downloaded epub. Well, I died after 3 minutes in the game.
Any conversation
I read
Still trying to figure out the boundaries of these tools' strengths without outsourcing important thinking, problem-solving, and the collective building-up of a mental model of the systems we're developing.
The shape of LLM tools as toolsโfit for a purpose, ergonomicโis becoming clearer, and human patterns of behavior with them that do more harm than good are also becoming easier to recognize.
Things I'm enjoying lately:
Vampire Survivors + Diablo IV
Alien + Dune ambiance
Howling Dark book 2 of Sun Eater
great TV
Been working on an old mastodon hosting project I tried to start a few years ago, with a focus on privacy. This is the first big project I've tried to come back to with the help of coding agents and find it invigorating, and gives me the confidence to actually finish the project. Who knows if it will ever make a dollar, but it sure is fun to watch my ideas come to life.
