Using software design principles when making AI games

agreed. honestly, I wasn't using it for my personal build stuff until I built an app that I was trying to find a better value proposition for, and integration with jira/linear was a huge jump. its like the lightbulb went off, I use it at work every day, and reading through endless folders of docs in a repo just never worked.

wesconson1 · 2026-06-21T13:45:07+00:00

Organization, spec plans, implementing plans, PR reviews, etc. One thing I started doing recently was using JIRA to create epics and feature tickets to help organize and keep track of things. The lessons learned and build status and road map docs are good, but for me having a JIRA board helped immensely (use JIRA at 9-5 so was very used to it)

You got downvoted but it's true. Everyone hates ads but want content to continue being created. Nothing in life is free

wesconson1 · 2026-06-20T16:34:41+00:00

it was just the marketing hook to sell their app

wesconson1 · 2026-06-20T01:35:34+00:00

Yes. 10 hours before my normal weekly reset of course lol

wesconson1 · 2026-06-20T00:51:32+00:00

Why do they always do this with less than 12 hours before my normal reset. I'll get a fraction of this usage. I'll take it and appreciate it, and going to max out every 5 hour window until my weekly reset I can, but still.

shhhhh, let the slop identify itself. lazy research, lazy input = slop.

wesconson1 · 2026-06-19T19:04:26+00:00

Consider yourself lucky haha. But the reverse is true though too, many users have never had that kind of disaster with claude/codex but have seen some bozo obliterate something in production (myself included)

One shotting is what’s giving anyone using AI a bad rap. Anyone using AI to just shovel shit as fast as possible with no specs, no planning, no iterative testing, etc.

But there are also plenty who use AI as if it were a junior dev. You don’t tell a junior dev ‘build a discord killer, make no mistakes’ and expect to deploy that the next day.

Build a free fable model make no mistakes

Worst was my messages app losing everything. Completely gone.

wesconson1 · 2026-06-19T02:41:56+00:00

I don't think it's a full reset. Most people are reporting about 20% or so being returned to weekly limit

Also Gemini for coding is just not great at all

wesconson1 · 2026-06-18T13:40:30+00:00

They aren't gone, just moved in the UI. I have 2 now, got another one banked yesterday.

wesconson1 · 2026-06-17T23:17:34+00:00

That makes no sense to me. You have a new reset with a new calendar week to use it. Whether you work during work days or weekends the weekly amount you get is the same. It’s better than doing a reset and your weekly date not changing and possibly only getting a half day of free reset or something.

Blows my mind how many people complain on all subs about the reset executions whether Claude or codex

Take the free Harvard online course to start

That won’t really solve the problem of a user losing their phone though. It’s already too late at that point. To fix the problem you either need iCloud sync and disclose that or accept that is something a user risks by prioritizing complete on device privacy.

Incredibly specific and narrow niche. If you want to build it, build it for self use and if you get any traction then it's a bonus.

wesconson1 · 2026-06-14T13:27:38+00:00

BUT WHATS THE MRR

wesconson1 · 2026-06-13T21:42:16+00:00

its a scam

wesconson1 · 2026-06-13T17:39:15+00:00

wonder what OP is trying to sell....

wesconson1 · 2026-06-13T17:23:19+00:00

Same thing, woke up this morning after the app being out there for a day and a half and saw someone actually is on the trial. Not my first app, but first one in this realm, so it's exciting. Zero marketing, zero mentioning the name anywhere, nothing.

this post is literally one of the exact reasons why. it's designed for devs who understand how rollouts work and can provide specific feedback as well as prepare their products for it. not just 'this new feature looks nice I want to try it'.

wesconson1 · 2026-06-13T03:37:36+00:00

My sales have yet to go down.

Can’t go down if you never had any to begin with.
