Before I read this: is just the title image generated with AI, or also the rest of the article?

That aesthetic made me vomit.
I agree that the AI generated image is trashy, however the article is a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of relying on agentic coding, instead of collaborating with other developers.
But there is always a ceiling on how far a single-player game can take you, even with agents. Software that lasts, software that grows, software that people can actually depend on – that is built by groups of people exercising judgment together over time. By teams developing shared taste, shared mental models, shared sense of what their product should be. None of that happens through individual prompting, no matter how clever the prompts.
So. Is that an em dash
Given their answer to "was the article AI generated?" was "the article is about..." we can safely assume it's slop.
So is that a yes? AI slop?
Maybe? There are 3 emdashes in the first 3 paragraphs, which is a suspiciously high number.
How the fuck did the author even greenlight the shitty AI image? It being AI aside, who the fuck codes with a gaming controller? And before you say "game devs", no, they don't.
You're assuming there is an author...
This one is one of the first user blocks for me lol
