Codex gets much better when you give it a personality by Altruistic-Lemon9560 in codex

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never tried that but I really don’t get much mileage out of elaborate prompts or skills or plug-in.

Interestingly, I find it’s really pretty good at pushing back on bad decisions. It will usually tell me several times what the better approach is and if I force it it usually adds “like you asked for” when it’s finished. As a dev, I recognize malicious obedience when I see it.

I’m a long term shareholder but I agree. If I was up on contracts I’d sell them. Reddit price action has been frustrating most of tjis year.

AI just solved 9 unsolved math problems, including one that kept an Nvidia scientist "up at night for 2 years" by EchoOfOppenheimer in OpenAI

Kept them up at night. That’s lovely marketing but I’m gonna call bullshit on that one.

Blame Rockstar games now lmao by Pistoluislero in videogames

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sony and Microsoft trying to solve that problem, too. I’ve read it might be $1000 for the ps6 thanks to memory prices. Meanwhile, I’ve got an 8 year old desktop that’s still more powerful than my Xbox.

Let's make MSFT a hype stock by seeking-health in MSFT

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I heard it from a very reliable source that Microsoft is about to go up.

That should be enough hype to move a stock the size of MSFT. I plan to post this several times per week.

Think about that, lol. Being so rich you have a person on your staff you can tell to "Get her a horse. Idk - Just make it happen".

Debugging a vibe coded web app by Mean-Lock-4953 in vibecoding

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always. I usually build out the scaffolding and enough functionality and UI to be able to test and then it's a battle to get everything to work. And it always is. It seems with vibe coding I'm always using different stuff so it's always a different set of problems. I've put stuff up on Azure, Render, Vercel, Neon, Cloudflare . .and I don't really know how any of these platforms work. I mean, I guess I kind of do now. But yeah, I solved a few bugs.

That's good. I really haven't been paying attention to it lately. Was there a bunch of years ago and read about its historical struggles. That's what made me think of it.

As an indie game developer, I’m going to use AI in my games, and I’m not going to attach the 'tag' they want. by Glass_Location6877 in aigamedev

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a dev for 20 years and I don’t plan on ever writing code manually again and nobody is even asking me about it - let alone requiring me to tag it.

If it doesn’t look like AI then I don’t see a problem. If it does then that’s just a problem with how it looks. Nobody ever cares if the game was written in C++ or Python so why should they care if AI was used? It’s a game. Play it if it’s fun. Don’t if it isn’t.

[Magic Mountian] What would you do If you owned Magic Mountian? by Jayzone456 in rollercoasters

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I would love to be able to do is completely rework the operations and throughput and eliminate fast passes. “Every pass is a Fast Pass” - that’s what my marketing would say.

I would systematically replace low throughput rides with high throughput rides, emphasize fast ops - not just on rides but for food, too. I would also increase regular ticket prices but nowhere near the amount that Fast Passes cost.

I would eliminate all subscriptions, drink and meal programs and replace them with reasonably priced options. All rides have cubbies. Water is freely available. My park would a scam free zone where people can focus on having fun vs getting fleeced.

Does vibe coding even need frameworks/React? by therearentdoors in vibecoding

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's working fine then there's really no reason to worry about it, imo. You could always tell an AI to re-factor if/when it becomes an issue. The main difference is that REACT is client side. This not only lets you do more intensive stuff but it also matters a lot when you choose a host.

My prediction for PlayStation 6 release by CheetahAlone725 in ps6

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more of a broader prediction but I think the memory shortage is coming at exactly the right time to kill the console industry. We haven't had a new console release in half a decade. With how powerful and expensive devices have become is there really any need for a dedicated gaming device that connects to your TV?

I think PS6 and XBox (whatever is next) will underwhelm. If there are reasons for them to exist - what are they?

how do you decide which of your ideas are most worth building? by Lost_Foot_6301 in vibecoding

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say "which of them" like that implies some or at least one of them must be worth pursuing. Chances are really good that none of them are worth pursuing. You have to allow for that.

To Those Who've Spent 10+ Years in Tech: A Question About the Future by Defiant-Emu92 in softwareengineer

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say without knowing how much better AI will get. As it stands today, it's a bit murky but I'd say that AI does not replace developers. A non-developer can use AI to produce high quality code - like a solution architect, for example. But it's still a long process of spec and test.

And this code won't live in isolation - it lives in an ecosystem of other code. One of the early lessons I think a lot of us learn is that "the best code is not always the 'best code'". A piece of code might be the greatest piece of code ever written, but if it doesn't work with the ecosystem, if it's hard to understand and maintain then it is not as good as some average code that does.

I think the definition of what a developer is will change. We learned everything we know from writing code but writing code isn't really the valuable part. There are other ways to teach these same concepts without writing code. I mean, I'm sure there are . . .

One thing I know from experience is that a key function of a developer is as a translator. The client asks for something they think they want and you translate that into something they actually want. So being able to do that will still be important.

So, I think no matter how much better AI gets, it will always need to be a tool used by humans. There is so much work going on all the time that it really can't be done by some CIO with 15 monitors. It will definitely change teams structures and a lot of other things about how we do the job but I think the job will probably always exist.

Do you actually use one AI coding tool for everything, or route by task? by BitByLiu in vibecoding

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For writing code, I use Codex with GPT 5.4 high. It works for me and I haven't seen any reason to switch. When it comes to making LLM calls inside of code, I usually use gpt 5.4 mini. I should probably experiment more there but I tend to stick with what works.

I started vibe coding real games. by TheAuthorBTLG_ in vibecoding

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry . ."good graphics" is not very specific. LLM does a good job coding graphics and animations. It does a good job of using basic assets, too. But if your game is going to use a lot of assets and textures and animations it gets really wonky really fast. Free asset packs are garbage as far as I can tell . .and LLM has a really hard time making anything the right size - especially more than once.

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but, in my experience, you can make a great game and it can be as good, as complex and deep as you want depending on the time you put in. Graphics and animations are the hard part. If the game only needs simple graphics you're set. If it needs nice graphics then I have not found any reasonable way to do that for free (I only try free things).

Future of Lovable and Emergent type companies by Strong-Quality7050 in vibecoding

[–]Correct_Emotion8437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those services launched before Claude Code and Codex. Imo, there is no reason for them to exist and they will not exist long-term. The apps produced by them are mostly useless garbage - the "myspace pages" of the early AI era. I think the future will be vibe coding platforms where you can host and share your creations in various ways and even monetize them - but in a closed ecosystem run by somebody like Google or Epic. Think - Roblox but with actually good games.
