lukasco··on Show HN: Homegames. An open-source game platform I've been making for 8 years
Fun, seems to be working. Do you have levels? All the games I played seemed to have a static level.
lukasco··on Command and Conquer Generals natively ported to macOS, iPhone, iPad using Fable
This is the big question! Is it really sensible to distribute locally running software at all? Maybe this leads to the locked down Mac App Store (and Windows I'm sure)? Apple's been wanting to lock down the Mac for ages, and this might be what makes people accept it.
lukasco··on Better Models: Worse Tools
It sounds like harnesses might have to start to have model by model system prompts, though retrying works, I guess. It reminds me of the ancient times when browsers all read HTML and CSS differently, and differently on different devices. In that sense, this is nothing new. I was going to say, at least we don't have different device types, but then, the model still has to output the right variant of `grep` as well.
lukasco··on The short leash AI coding method for beating Fable
It's not YOLO, but auto mode in Claude Code does reduce the amount you have to approve significantly. And frankly, without it, progress is constantly interrupted by permission requests. It's all I use. Don't even really switch into Plan mode manually anymore.
lukasco··on The primary purpose of code review is to find code that will be hard to maintain
This is the big thing I'm struggling with:

Code reviews are still a critical step in most workflows. Though seems like everyone uses them for a different purpose: extra pair of eyes to meet a regulation/security, style police, and what this one says: maintainability.

And at the same time, code reviews are now a massive bottleneck in the development pipeline. Frankly, in a lot of teams they have been that for a long time. Though many would argue it was the only thing stopping absolute crap going into production.

But in a world where none of us writes code anymore, and I think we're there, even if the future is "just not evenly distributed" (Gibson), why should we have to do code reviews, the worst job of all?

Leaves me thinking that code reviews will land in the dustbin of history.

But for now I don't have a better solution.
