As someone whose whole identity was built around programming I mourn it daily. But I do think it's wonderful that people can realize their ideas now. E.g. I've seen a lot of vibe coded retro games lately, and while they're clearly lacking craftsmanship in some areas (e.g. not crunching your binary, bad looking AI load screens, & just a general lack of polish) I have to remind myself that these games probably wouldn't exist without AI, and TBH some of them are not half bad.
Genuinely asking: what are some of the not-bad ones?
I really enjoyed Lemans 2: https://zeroglabs.itch.io/lemans-2 and I thought Hot Shot Pool isn't great but not bad either: https://j5-2026.itch.io/hot-shot-pool
