I used to love posts like this. I even wrote my own basic runtime environment back in the day. But lately, because of AI, I've completely lost interest in this kind of stuff.

I don't say that lightly. I've been coding since I was 11 and loved every minute of it. I'm 52 now, and once I fully gave in to using AI, I pretty much stopped writing code myself.

Has anyone else felt like they've lost that spark?

You absoloutly were then! <3

So far its been direct referrals, which was surprising. I did an initial post on Reddit, and its grown quite a lot since!!

I struggled with an input box for the first month on my game, Apple and its crazy UI/UX. I think you made the right choice with the keyboard.

Just sitting at 99,736 plays since March!!

Wrote a game, and played with Google Analytics, and a few others - I have to say how disapointed I was with google = used to be easy to use, now its just so frustrating and the stats make no sense to me.

Anyhow, whipped this up and I am actually benefitting from the stats - game changes, etc.

You could answer this by asking yourself - Why not just let AI code in machine language?

I am capable of coding (25 years+) but just started playing with Claude Code, its actually pretty good. I have all the data in the DB (AI generated data)

Would love feedback, we used AI for the answers so we could enjoy it too! :D
