Adventures with Vibes
A Year of AI-Assisted Game Development I am a vibe coder. I've found you may either judge me or agree with me, as with opinions on most generative AI, there's a pretty stark division. But I'm human, just like you. ;) The Beginning: From TI-83 to Visual Studio It all started with reverse engineering games on the school's TI-83 calculator (not mine, we couldn't afford one.) I was so enamored with writing code back then, that somewhere around the turn of the century, my parents got me a C++ book and Microsoft's Visual Studio to compile. I dabbled in code from then on, but I didn't end up doing it for a career. Flash forward 20 years, and I'm teaching myself Python for work. This is right before the ChatGPT boom. Generative AI exists, but the public is broadly unaware. I follow a blog that shows how silly the earliest modern AIs were.
