Les designers suite à la sortie de Claude Design vendredi dernier ⤵️

Ludum Dare will officially end in October 2028 The long-running game jam has spawned a number of successful titles such as Celeste and Inscryption.

Fin d’une ère : les légendaires game jams Ludum Dare – qui ont révélé des dizaines de projets et de designers depuis leur création en 2002 – s’arrêteront avec l’édition d’octobre 2028.

extremely annoying that the people who tell you the only way to help burnout is to stop doing the thing that burned you out are correct

#Enshitification #Mediocrity

Rick & Morty robot purpose pass the butter meme, but with the robot being Claude Code and doing menial work of resolving git merge conflicts

Un demi de bière.

Ou alors le vrai demi d'initié.

Enfin bref, c’est un membre de la TeamGo qui a fait ce retour je suppose ? 😄

Ajoute à ça le tooling un peu faiblard d’un langage dynamiquement typé comme Ruby, certaines sessions de débug se transforme en labyrinthe.

Je vois d’où la personne vient. Quand tu fais du “vrais” OOP, tu suis le concept de late binding donc polymorphismes à outrance. Ce qui veut dire que lire le code ne permet pas simplement de comprendre quelle partie est en réalité exécutée.

whenever people talk about "shipping speed" they focus on 0 to 1

but what actually matters is how fast the team is still shipping a year into the project

this is why everyone seems like they "ship fast" but nothing actually seems to be getting done

Cœur sur Joseph ❤️

What people are struggling with is less about the novel aspects of developing with AI, and more about the table stakes.

It's not the AI part that's so hard (turns out systems have never been that deterministic), it's the software part.

100x as much software, 100x as fast as before.

Do I miss hand-crafting code?

Maybe. A little. That’s probably why I’m playing with Picotron, writing Lua by hand in a code editor without even autocompletion.

But that’s a hobby, not work. 😉

I might be missing a thing or two, but one thing is clear: “hand-crafting code” isn’t on the list.

Since I’ve introduced LLMs into my workflow, all these priorities have remained the same.

Delivery, maintainability, and stability metrics are still strong—sometimes even better.

...
- Relying on automated tests.
- Investing in an evolutionary architecture.
- Following DevOps and Platform Engineering practices.
- Using an efficient system to organize work (Lean, Agile—whatever works; I’ll leave the debates to others).

Here’s what actually worked for me:

- Bringing business experts and developers together (in the same room, Slack, Gather, etc.).
- Encouraging collaboration among developers (pairing, mob programming, or simply sharing knowledge).
- Maintaining fast feedback loops while programming.
...

Was “crafting the perfect line” or “writing all the code by hand” the most effective way to meet those expectations?

I don’t think so.

So what was expected?

- Delivering on time.
- Understanding the business.
- Ensuring the software platform is stable.
- Solving issues when they arise.
- Ensuring the software architecture doesn’t block new features.
- Occasionally, improving the developer tooling.

I have mixed feelings about this.

Kelsey’s stance was also mine for a long time.

However, I’ve realized something lately:

Crafting the perfect line of code or finding the ideal variable name was never expected of me.

Not by my employer. Not by my tech lead. Not by my peers.

Dac, merci pour les infos !

A titre perso, je m'en tiens à ce bouquin: gameprogrammingpatterns.com

Quand je me rends compte qu'un bout de code va devenir difficile à utiliser, je check ce livre.

Ça me semble un bon compromis.

Après je bidouille juste, je ne fais pas de vrais prod. 🙈

Ma compréhension est que la plupart des jeux sont des projets "fire and forget". On les développes, on les sorts et éventuellement on les portes sur une autre plateforme. Fin.

Le projet est fini avant d'atteindre le stade où ces patterns apporte leurs ROI.

Pour avoir bossé sur des codes bases de plus de 10 ans avec certaines qui utilisaient ces pratiques et d'autres non, celles avec design pattern and co était quand même les plus agréables à maintenir. Pour autant, je me verrais pas essayer de transposer toutes ces pratiques sur du gamedev.

Je n'ai toujours pas compris d'où sort cette lute constante entre clean code (and co) vs les game dev. 🤔

Clean Code, Clean Arch, Design Patterns, etc. ce sont des concepts qui sont nées dans le monde de l'informatique de gestion, pour faire en sorte que des logiciels soient maintenable 10 ans après

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Okay folks, looks like I switched over to the enemy.

Claude Code is nice.

A bit, I’m mostly working with Picotron so the environment is self-contained and doesn’t provide any AI stuff. Sometimes I ask a question about my code to Claude Web to have a quick insight and some food for thought.

TyGAMES - Bilan et Transformation SCIC | Notion | Damien Mayance Un éditeur de jeux vidéo coopératif, ça se tente ? 💡 En novembre 2022, on a créé TyGAMES pour : - assurer la distribution de nos jeux sur PC, consoles et mobile - mutualiser les coûts de fonctionnem...

Coucou les #gamedevs

On tente un projet un peu fou avec @ty.games : faire un éditeur coopératif breton.

On en parle là :

C’est mon prochain objectif. J’ai un mini PC qui attend tranquillement dans un placard. 😄
