I think this is the part that stumps me. I've done similar things, I'm not math heavy but "vibecoded" a full physics simulator. It wasn't 100%, but it was 90% or 95%. Wild!
replyBut I dropped it and will probably never touch it again.
Are you going to do anything with that game engine? I'm sure there are thousands of others who've written a game engine with the tools. What are they being used for? Is it just to "try it out"? I see people producing a LOT of software. Sure, the code is good, but was it needed? Are people using it?
And maybe that's OK - we're just writing software for ourselves now, because it's so cheap + fast to produce.

replyYou can ask the same about hand written code too.
Have you tried creating something that doesnt have HUNDREDS of existing implementations on the Web already?
replyMaybe I’m just better than you? It’s something to consider. Your whole point here is that astra could pump out something faster than you ever could at a quality level _you_ think is good. It might be worth some reflection that _your quality level_ is not _my quality level_.
replyI have no pressure to use this stuff. I’m still getting paid. I’m still shipping higher quality software at the same speed as the rest of my peers. Why should I sacrifice quality for speed?
I'm quite curious to know what kind of systems / software do you work on?
