Coincidentally, my high-school aged son is actually hosting a LAN party at our house today, they're going to be playing Counterstrike and Minecraft. LAN parties are very much not dead if we decide they shouldn't be.

I've gone through multiple phases.

Phase 1 (mid 2025): Have AI write the simple stuff if you want, but hand-write the important core stuff.

Phase 2 (late 2025): OK, let AI write the important core stuff, too, but review every line of code.

Phase 3 (early 2026): Wow, AI is making virtually no mistakes, so only review the important core stuff that it writes.

Now (since mid 2026): If using newer models like Opus 5.5 or Astra, no need to review its code as long as the behavior is as expected. I'm no longer a software developer or coder, I'm a software creator.

I'm a bit confused, isn't "Wispr" a trademarked term? Why would you pick a name that could easily be shut down?

You may be underestimating how unpopular AI is among the younger generation.

It may change in the months to come, but it’s astonishing to me how negative the outlook of Gen Z is on AI.

Your comment released me from the frustratingly puzzled feeling I had at what they were aiming at with "noul"... that totally makes sense.

As far as I understand, the best any AI was able to get to until now was being able to produce blue science which is like level 2 or 3 of a science tree like 10 levels deep.

To me who has maybe put 20-30 hours into Factorio, this is even more impressive stuff than some of the Blender videos I've seen... just mind-boggling.
