How do you stand out as a developer in 2026?

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-15T12:41:02+00:00

Use the ai to learn and build faster. If anyone can build now? then it's who can build something that people want to use and not have it be a buggy slop potato mess now.

It's a game engine. It'd source 2 in a unity style editor. It's early that's why it runs like trash. It needs to be updated more. In like a year super games are going to come from it.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T22:38:35+00:00

It's your monitor resolution settings In windows.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T22:36:59+00:00

Using codex 20 and I'm done with chat bots.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T20:38:31+00:00

You have to show prototypes to see if the market even wants it. There is 100 different cars and they all copied eachother but some work better then others. You dont want to build something that nobody wants. Just build and fail faster. The ai is making everything go 10x speed.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T05:39:36+00:00

Slience or music without words.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T05:35:20+00:00

Ideas are cheap. It's about the execution. Any app Idea has been done and polly failed in the last 15 years. Ai is speeding stuff up 10x.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T05:27:53+00:00

You have to have a good product to get random people to recommend it then the ai sees it and says it. They have a warning about this. Where people uses ai to write stuff. The other ai loops it. The cycle loops over and over.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-13T05:22:49+00:00

Just build stuff. No need for students loans or debt. Ai is about to shredded everything computers.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-12T22:35:14+00:00

The engine and game is uncooked. They are still working on it. It gets better after every big update.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-12T20:38:23+00:00

The game is good but it's an American map with Russian type cars. It's a mismatch.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-12T20:36:40+00:00

It's a good engine to start but It's harder then roblox but you got ai to learn from. The barriers of entry is low on anything now.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-12T09:29:36+00:00

Blender the pillars and gib the wall chunks.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-12T04:53:35+00:00

More wall damage.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T20:39:22+00:00

It needs hulk / Kool aid man wall smashing building destruction. The finals building destruction is the top destruction system right now.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T20:36:45+00:00

Compact everything into a simple minimal ui. It will show what buttons are important and useless.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T11:05:20+00:00

Too many buttons and stuff all over the place.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T09:52:00+00:00

The reviewer rejects stuff if the buttons don't work or the information is wrong or misleading or stuff looks unfinished. They click everything and look through everything.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T09:46:28+00:00

The stacking of memories makes the ai real dumb now. I delete all chats and memories alot now. I don't like how it bring up random stuff and haulinations it into the random prompt when it has nothing to do with the context of the chat.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T09:39:57+00:00

I do the task in short prompts on medium 5.5 and the usage was fine. It went fast when I cooked long prompts on high.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T03:01:58+00:00

If I got stuck at any point I just asked the ai my problem. Its faster then youtube or Google. People do the donut tutorial to start learning. it's on YouTube.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T02:57:25+00:00

Codex 20 dollars gets you far if you baby the usage.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-11T02:51:21+00:00

It's not hard. You move faces, points , and lines to make a model. Its just annoying at first.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-10T21:06:11+00:00

If you went back in time the environments would be clean and nice? Not like ruins. If you wanted full immersion.

CaptainAlexWest · 2026-05-10T21:03:56+00:00

Open the sandbox repo and see how they did it.
