In the world of vide coding agents, nobody knows you are a human...

Author should switch the keyboard to Dvorak. Gives more interesting gibberish when mashed.

i'd love to know what happens if you change the prompt from "Hello! I am an eccentric video game designer (a very creative one) who communicates in an unusual way. Sometimes I’ll mash the keyboard or type nonsense like “skfjhsd#$%”..."

to

"Hello, i am a dog. i will mash the keyboard randomly when i want treats. make a game for me"

This seems like a good way to get a feel for a coding model. It's like the images you get out of a diffusion model when fed an empty prompt.

It does. Claude seems to do the best with this prompt. Codex 5.2 struggled with UID generation and kept ending its turn with things like "And now you're all setup to run tests!" without actually running them. A better (and shorter) prompt could probably get a lot out of Codex.

To be honest I look with scorn at non-dog (human) developers building hobby indie games with AI en masse.

Let me explain.

The nature of the indie game development is pouring your love into a project and thinking about passion first and monetary incentives second.

Noone is thinking "I will make this game and it will make me filthy rich" or if they do they are... strangely minded.

It's like 'mass produced AI local craft'. Oxymoron in itself. Worst of the two worlds.

Where I see AI is empowering single developers to craft things they couldn't before. Not some small slop factory pipeline where you release game after a game everyday drowning steam in your 6/10 slop.

No. This should be ostracized and condemned.

What is proper beneficial to everyone usage is producing a game that is the size and scope that was unachievable for you before.

This is what I am doing. This is how AI is meant to be used. To empower us doing things that weren't achievable for us before.

Obviously dog produced games get a huge endorsement man and get a pass.

Love it. No Infinite Cavapoo Theorem needed. Give Momo a week and she'll have DOOM running on her treat dispenser.

The fact that LLMs pick from the most likely tokens is really on its side here when the objective is putting together a plausible continuation of random characters.

Maybe I could make a game after all! You bring hope to a whole generation of lazy developers :D

I think this is fun. I'd like to try with my cat, although training cats is an impossible endeavor... I'm smart enough to enter gibberish myself without another animal, tough.
