  • Guy trying to vibe code a GTA 6 before Rockstar finishes their version

    I'm really skeptical. If he builds a competing product I'll eat my hat.
    That is -- I don't want it to work. I'm against computers writing code.
    Maybe it's because I want there to be a job for software engineers,
    maybe it's because it's just wrong.

    Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it... and anything approaching even GTA
    V, let alone 6.

    I briefly tried to 'vibe code' a dungeon robber clone, but Claude
    couldn't get anything working.

    I "vibe coded" my newsreader, which is written with tk/perl.

    Had trouble with the Elite Dangerous launcher running on Proton,
    fixed by ripping and re-installing the game. They had updated
    the launcher, but I guess it was incompatible with the Steam
    proton Windows setup.
