@NewAgeRetroNerd Knowledge is pure gold. You can get hired easily; you can specialize in any new tech that interest you the most; you can build a solid network. 20 years ago many people dropped my CS school in 2nd year because they could sell websites at 2000$. Today they may be worthless...

Why the fuck am I getting a computer science degree? Why am I spending all my time learning anything?
Why are we still here, just to suffer?

People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers
SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY
NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world
Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA

@sandislonjsak I have not enough clients, so I'm not hiring at all :)
English
i didn’t fire anyone because of the ai
but i have to admit i haven’t hired as much as i planned to
especially the junior roles
🤷♂️

@CloudlessStudio \is there any problem with Enhanced Input system + common UI ? I have no controller to test yet but controller is set up -> map "actions" ( as gameplay tags )to device, one asset for KB_M, one asset for controller.
Then lyra sample have all those little things to make life easy

Programming gamepad UI controls in UE is enough to give up on making a platformer 🥲

1k reviews in just 3 days 😭👌 Everyday we indie devs see someone saying that you shouldn't make a big or linear game. Or that you should give up on what you like. This is not true. Believe in your vision, trust your guts. Thank you friends, and everyone who made a review!

@NetworksChat no. i like .NET and C# especially since it went cross platform and evolved into what it is today. VB .NET always seemed like a carrot to move VB devs onto .NET and eventually to C#. imo VB6 was a monstrosity that produced slop the likes of which we have not seen until the AI era.

I need you to understand how ridiculous the trajectory is that AI is on
English
@Raven_of_Zurich @Srini_Pa Attention gets diluted over large contexts. Past some point it's exponential hallucination rate.
English
@Srini_Pa Unlimited context goes a long way to solve this. But that requires more of the bottlenecked AI inputs.
Bullish

Gartner surveyed 350 executives at $1B+ companies already deploying AI agents and automation.
80% cut jobs tied to AI.
No improved ROI.
Cutting people freed cash, didn’t create value.
AI that cannot learn cannot compound.
Architectural failure.

@GaryMarcus Most investors follow trends.
Some world record investments in companies were scams. Remember that electric truck company pretending to have created new 100x batteries ?
Hype create trends; and today AI is best hype-creating machine: imagine a world fully automated...

Questions people will be writing about in the coming years:
• Was it a Ponzi scheme?
• Why didn’t more people worry about the circular financing?
• Why were investors so blasé about the lack of profits?
• Why wasn’t all the debt a bigger warning sign?

More evidence of the scale of the AI bubble. Over $1.2 trillion in debt is linked to companies involved in AI.

@SverunGames unreal engine is like a formula 1 engine :
people attach plastic frame and wheels to it and wonders why it behaves so poorly ...
English
>Unreal 5 is bloated and poorly optimized
Then why does our game take 6 seconds from launch to gameplay
English
English
@MrChickenRocket Indeed! Right now all agents are individually allocated objects. I could try stuffing structs into an array instead. Overall agent layout should be relatively optimal for cache lines as far as I understand (but I'm still learning that stuff)
English
Stress-testing 100k agents. FPS dropped to 60. I had to move most of the logic to C++ to make this work. I could only scale to ~10k in GDScript before hitting a wall.
Each "agent" is also just a cube here. Nothing complex. My goal is to get this stable at 144hz w/ 100k agents.

@CRUMVIII I usually turn off any distraction; switch to another part; force myself to good habits (at least one line of code / design docs/ sketch / must be written after one hour I woke up; maintain a written log/schedule)
Sport (maintain back muscles), r&r every day when possible.

Any game dev that worked a long time on their project but at some point in development, they got stuck in a really bad spot and seemingly couldn't proceed any further for whatever reason? Or it was harming your mental health.
If so, what did you do?
English
@ThisGuyHaHa @alightinastorm That's what my patients tell me every time.

@FeanFiltonpair @alightinastorm You are definitely not my therapist, btw

@ThisGuyHaHa @alightinastorm Rain doesn't need permission to fall. Be like rain

@FeanFiltonpair @alightinastorm I'm not asking anyone to manage my triggers I'm literally just asking to be recognized as a human capable of emotion, because I was denied that, right to my face.
English
saw someone vibe coding at a cafe
no voice mode
no multi-agent setup
no 3-hour extended thinking loops
no switching between Codex and Claude Code
just typing a prompt, and staring at the screen, waiting for the response
like a psychopath

@ThetaForgeCo @rtroar As a 10+ years indie dev, started with almost 0 knowledge in art/composition, I must say Ai is extremely useful but like music, or vibe coding, without a solid foundation you will end up with "slop".
It will help you level up very quick, though
English
I'm convinced the best time to be an indie game dev is now.
More tools at your disposal than ever before to create the game of your dreams. Genres and games that weren't available to you before have now completely become possible thanks to the speed of iteration with AI.
AAA Game studios have lost the plot.. Indies are the only devs left taking risk and making games that are just fun to play.
The golden days are upon us lads. Build that game.

@ThisGuyHaHa @alightinastorm "You can’t expect strangers to manage your triggers for you" (deepseek, chinese clanker).
As your therapist I would advise not to engage in social media platforms
English
@alightinastorm I literally have a mental disorder that makes it so I clinically cannot help it but be sensitive, feel emotions to an overwhelming degree.
You are showing your lack of empathy and understanding for the less fortunate
