Indie devs are in a tough spot: don't use AI, and watch everyone else ship games x5 faster than you or use it and be damned. I don't think there are many coders left that are not using AI agents for coding right now, it's just that effective (been coding games for 28 years, professionally for 20)

absolute bullshit thing to say dude. it literally does not do that

Like, proof required for the "ship 5x faster than you" thing pls.

True, and it doesn't scale as much as people think it does but I'm definitely way, way faster on my own work, and we did tools that would have taken days in hours

oh you're actively feeding the beast huh! actively part of the problem!

you're righter than you think about one thing: your company has an extremely finite amount of time

businesses were famously impossible to run just a few years ago

I think you may have missed what happened to the game industry the last few years

My whole team doesn't use it. It's not that hard.

I'm glad for you, as I said, it's a luxury now. All my colleagues in AAA and mobile are using it extensively

I'm in AAA and I've avoided using it so far
