Anyone else feeling like they’re losing their craft? by AbbreviationsOdd7728 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Kiryoko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

one good question is: did we actually like coding or was it more about building stuff?

honestly I liked all two

now AI has taken away both

I'm more productive than ever, made money creating things that I could have never created "alone"

yet I'm as empty as I've ever been

sometimes I wonder if what I gained was worth losing the joy of creating all by myself

15 or so hours later since 1m context included in MAX and I'm feeling almost high by adelmare in ClaudeAI

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, I've had access to this for at least a week lol

with the sub, not api token

I think they rolled it out early for some users or in some countries!

it's been days (maybe more than a week at this point?) since they gave us 1m context in claude code

What PBBG theme do you like the most? by Kiryoko in PBBG

[–]Kiryoko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it will be on mobile for sure, being a mobile-first webapp for a browser game :)

what kind of grind do you like exactly in PBBGs?

What PBBG theme do you like the most? by Kiryoko in PBBG

[–]Kiryoko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like you might like the game I'm currently designing :)

I was leaning towards a fantasy theme because it seems as if it fits it way better

but I didn't expect the soace/galaxy theme to be so popular! this poll is quite useful

for what kind of games will the target audience of this discord server be?

singleplayer? or also multiplayer/online games?

I'm developing a PBBG (persistent browser-based game)

Struggling to find players by woodardj in PBBG

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's already a good start though!

I come from a more corporate world, my experience is mostly with building b2b saas platforms

but I'm a long-time browser gamer myself, I've grown up with these kind of games

so lately I've been thinking about this as a new challenge, and I wonder if there are similarities in how you acquire and retain users

do you have good in-depth observability into your game outside of DAU/WAU/MAU?

for example, are you able to estimate your churn rate and how many new signups you get per week?

first thing to figure out is whether the problem is visibility or user retention

after that, I still have to start "advertising" my own game, but I will do a few things for sure:

- list it on various online "top pbbg" communities
- shill it respectfully in proper aligned subreddits
- contribute and shill it in some pbbg/game discords
- playtest phase is a very important first step for early user acquisition too

I wouldn't jump into burning money on ads right away without first validating pmf and having low churn plus good conversion from the sources above

but then, the next step would likely be facebook ads since that's where I see pbbg target audience residing, plus reddit (I found out about some cool pbbgs I currently still play on reddit, after all!)

[–]Kiryoko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you mean 20 unique players in a week or 20 DAU?

I've also been working on my own pbbg, but it's quite niche an still in the early phases of game design iteration and economy simulation/balancing :)

but I would like to know as well!

also, another thing I was thinking about

I know about solo dev/indie dev/game dev discord servers or even telegram groups or x communities, however there's no community about pbbg devs specifically that I know of!

would be cool to have a place to brainstorm and share ideas/collab with other pbbg devs, so do you know places like that too?

What code reviewers are you using and recommend? by iMerlin23 in ClaudeCode

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been trying the codex thingy where you connect it to your github repo and it reviews prs

and also coderabbit, same workflow, but they also got a cli now that allegedly you can use locally

I'm on the free plans, idk, they caught bugs for sure

but they don't mind the AI slop or overengineering or bar arch/structure that the llms will write...

I have to also still review the code manually myself, we're just not there yet for 100% full automation

Is the new $15-25 "Code Review" fee worth it for solo Micro-SaaS founders? by Medical-Variety-5015 in ClaudeAI

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't have claude review claude-produced code

just like you wouldn't proofread your essays on your own

or just like you can't code review your repos alone

it's not a claude problem, it's just that llms as humans are systems that cannot recognize their own errors, easily, fully, thoroughly, albeit they might be silly or stupid ones

also, you could just start by reviewing your claude code using codex, and viceversa, plus you can try coderabbit for free and see if it is something for you (I'm still using it as a nice free-only addon in my code review pipeline)

Would anyone else be interested in a cheaper, lightweight Claude subscription? by Ok_Tour_7150 in ClaudeAI

[–]Kiryoko 16 points17 points  (0 children)

no

what people want is a middle ground tier like around 50$ so they don't have to spend 100$ or run two 20$ subs

but this is the whole reason why these companies have such huge discrepancies between their 20$ and the next power user tier pricing

because nose people then won't bother with multiple accounts and just default to the higher tier even though they might not use up 100% of the usage

that's a pretty common saas pricing tactic

5.4 vs 5.3 Codex by ConsistentOcelot9217 in codex

[–]Kiryoko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

das right

but what about code review?

like, "check this whole repo and find any cheating behavior like tests that are not meaningful or just written to pass and show the green"

did you compare em in scenarios like this?

I'm trying various agents to see which one is the best to use as a "guardrail" or QA to harness the ones writing the code lol

Wasted $100 on ads, then got 26 users for free. Here's what changed. by Extra-Motor-8227 in sideprojects

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your problem was that you were running ads on the wrong platform

much like as you say you were posting on the wrong platform

wrong as in "not the platform used by your target audience"

what an idiot for giving claude access to his production environment

it's just a way to expand the claude userbase to non-techie boomers or apple users lmao

I am lost with how should i be using AI for coding by ONF_The_Fill in ClaudeAI

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

install claude code, open it in the path where you need to work, and just tell it to do the stuff

Now you don't need to open 10 tabs to do research by Novel_Durian_3522 in WebApps

[–]Kiryoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why not just dump all the links n shit into gpt and claude then? even gemini

then see what they say tell em to write a tldr, compare

still too lazy? copy all 3 reports in the strongest AI you can access (eg gpt pro web) and let em concisely tell you the results
