The games are different than the video. They just don’t deliver that experience at all. In 2026 it does seem strange as the cost of production of graphic and code is less.

But when that trend started back in 2023 or so, the game in the video was much more expensive to produce that what you actually got to play.

Sure pal. I’m suuuure you walk the walk and don’t use ANY of their software. lol…

The title should include “IF you’re still tied to a traditional human-reviewed dev process” at the end.

The reality is that new apps and new companies are being built without the bottleneck, constantly now.

Look at the shipping speed of the frontier labs themselves. It’s all the evidence you need to know that this isn’t true.

The good ole days ;)

In San Francisco, you can still find buildings where the elevators have ashtrays, though usually the actual tray is gone.

Yes! I remember. It was bad lol.

When I was a 20-something big-4 consultant traveling weeks on end for work, I took up smoking for exactly the reasons you suggest. I had nothing to do in my down time and knew nobody, but I could sit in hotel bar with a smoke and strangers would trail over.

Yep, I’m old enough to have been working when you could still smoke in hotel bars. In Monaco you could order a pack of Marlboro Reds at your dinner table back in 2006.

Stop reading HN and read the book now. You’re welcome. ;)

Hmm I had an ST. I think I vaguely remember this. Was it a PD game or commercial?

Thanks! working on multiplayer now...

+1 for explorers

Manus has been the best agent for turning text into work --useable slides, code, extracting data from websites, etc. that I've seen. There are better tools for specific cases like coding, but for one tool that could handle agentic workflows with minimal oversight and configuration, it's the best.

Hope Meta doesn't hose it.
