No sarcasm here haha, I see what you mean though now that I look at it

Wow this is highly legible, my eyes and brain really like this. I think I’ll start using it actually.

It depends on what your use case is. GDExtension is the standard way to go, unless its API is too limited and you have to access/modify engine internals not otherwise exposed.

That being said, this has no impact on distribution either way as far as I know.

Very well said.

Programming has always felt like converting thought-stuff into something that the computer can understand. That's still the same, it's just a different language, and much faster.

My hot take is: if people are saying AI code is bad, yet they're using cutting-edge models like Opus 5, then those same people are writing bad code even without AI.

I'm finding that AI today can write excellent code, as long as you plan, review, and help it along with a little guidance.

You’re layering several hypotheticals on top of each other, which leads to progressively distant possibilities. Good on you for caring about humans though

Palantir came to me multiple times over the years asking me to interview as a senior swe. The temptation was very strong back then. Insane pay package as you can imagine... but I had a really bad feeling about them and always turned them down.

What a huge relief. One of my best moments of foresight.

Sure, they build innocent dashboards in the same way that your name is an innocent Dutch word. Obvious bad faith arguments coming from a troll.

Who I am:

USA Citizen recently moved to The Hague. A fullstack engineer with about 10 years of experience building, scaling, and leading web application projects from the ground up. I’ve worked across early-stage startups, client services, my own business, and open source. As both an engineering leader and individual contributor, I excel at pushing projects forward: scoping work with precision, communicating tradeoffs early and openly, and keeping teams aligned even in high-ambiguity environments. I’m known for elevating team effectiveness by introducing clear processes, thoughtful technical direction, and a strong culture of ownership. I lead with empathy, clarity, and a deep belief in enabling others to do their best work.

How I can serve you:

- Building and Launching anything, ASAP

- Architecture

- Leadership and advice

Open to short term or long term contracts. Rates are negotiable, generally ranging $150/hr to $200/hr depending on your individual needs. Let's find a custom solution that's mindful of your runway.

Thanks for sharing. Absolutely right; people need to feel useful and valued—not to mention, jobs can help us get out of the house and connect with people.

Just to be clear, are you saying the only life work that you can find fulfillment in is work that can be perfectly automated and handled by AI? Do you have an example of what you mean?

Runaway capitalism! Time for me to log off for another ~2 years

Elites unilaterally claiming and reaping the benefits of automation (i.e. consolidation of wealth) is not a law of nature.

You’re right and validating the point.

A specific part of GP’s comment keeps getting overlooked:

  So the problem isn't robots, it's the structure of how we humans rely on jobs for income.

Humans being forced to trade time for survival, money, and the enrichment of the elite, is a bug. We are socially conditioned to believe it’s a feature and the purpose.

Nobody is saying robots should replace human connection and expression
