@lerven@tweesecake.social Thanks. I was particularly curious to hear from you, because I know you shipped several games in VB6 and BGT. I'm curious about how you got burnt out on actual coding.

@matt@toot.cafe I worked as a software engineer full time for eight years for very little pay. I became kind of soured on the process of coding. Honestly agentic coding has helped me REINVIGORATE my interest in making software again. I appreciate that I can explain what I want, get something out, and then ittirate over it and get something better. it's also giving me exposure to languages I'd otherwise not have access to. I honestly never wanted to code in the first place, but in order to get the games and software I wanted for a long time, I had to be a one man shop. Now I can focus on the things I enjoy which are designing concepts. I hope my ramblings make some sort of sense.
