Gotta say it’s a bit suspicious how quickly a one man team is “recreating” existing games, while being “a full time consultant”… That’s from a post I received on Mastodon after launching The Universe, Controlled, my homage to the sorely-missed early iPhone…
Apps for an audience of one.
There are folks who use “vibe-coded” as an insult. This app was vibe-coded in a weekend. And those folks are also unhappy, I’m certain, that here’s another article about AI. I get it. But AI-assisted coding doesn’t mean developers don’t give their creations…
