And FYI this does pass the mom test, I forced 8 people at an event to try this last night and it got a very positive reception.

I enjoyed making this game. It's the first time I've ever designed anything near this ornate.

Historically I've always done minimalist design. This isn't necessarily because its better, but because I'm not a great designer.

However, this weekend I decided I'd try something new, I wanted to design for a really distinct aesthetic and try to make the whole app feel fun, I think I achieved that.

Everything in here is 100% vibe coded, I didn't read a line of code behind it. It's also vibe deployed, I didn't do a single thing beyond telling my AI to deploy it.

This excites me, anybody else built something like this?

How do you represent uncertainty? I know dependency mapping is a huge problem in GANTT systems when one dependency takes a ton longer than expected. How do you account for that here?

I’m not convinced a lot of it can’t be solved with code mode.

Marine staggering for example seems like an ideal code mode task.

I predict latency will improve greatly in the next 12 months to more than 4x speed on current frontier tasks

I agree.

My first time playing StarCraft was at summer camp around a decade after it came out.

All the smartest people played it so I wanted to too. Great decision, I have been continually impressed with the people who StarCraft introduced me to.

I might open this up to a tournament if enough people want. Any interest?

I predict LLMs will reach superhuman level and beat even that model in the next 12 months
