dear youtubers

i don't care that you told claude to jam a game into another game

the only reason that shit was ever impressive was the raw quantity of effort it took, and quantity of effort ceased to be a material measure of any achievement the instant LLMs started to exist

meaningful achievements of programming, at least in terms of amount of effort, no longer exist

I cannot get through pile of all those amazing games that previously would take 4+ years to make. Yet now with Claude power it only takes 4 months!

In practical terms, that doesn't really mean anything to me as a consumer. Any two amounts of games I'm interested in, if more than I can consume, are functionally the same amount of games. Adding more doesn't change my situation at all, and we hit that saturation point long before LLMs came onto the field.
