New comment by maloga in "Making games in Go: 3 months without LLMs vs. 3 days with LLMs"

maloga — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:35:50 +0000

Agreed, I got an LLM to build me a Super Mario Bros game with 0 code and it's playable after 2 prompts but I'm stuck with the spritesheet as well.

Nah, whatever bug you're referring to is my fault, haha, don't blame the LLM. But in between game state bugs are very unlikely, haha: https://github.com/marianogappa/escoba-de-15/blob/main/src/A...

I can't imagine state surviving a location reload with nothing on local storage and no server.

I think the reason is because you have to pay a non-negligible amount of money per game you publish, and most don't expect to make that back. In my case, making money wasn't my goal, as I explain in the article.

No need to think or guess. You can just bite the bullet and actually read the article. I explained why I built it.

I had a couple popular blogposts on Go/Scala related adventures. My blogposts were often published in Golang Weekly.

New comment by maloga in "Crypto influencers are preying on millennials who found salvation in crypto"

maloga — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 16:51:37 +0000

Just to clarify, this refers to a paragraph where I claim that many see BTC/ETH as the fastest viable way to multiply your savings.

I do not offer any kind of paid services to make money at all! I'm just an engineer sharing a pet project, which doesn't involve money at all, yours or mine.

Thanks! I use Google Charts + manual CSS-based overlays, ran via google-chrome --headless, triggered by the Golang binary that runs the cron that evolves predictions. I'm going to write a blogpost about the architecture, because I think it's an interesting one worth sharing.

Very unlikely, because we've double-checked on a couple of machines at the office here. Only on Mac though. Would be useful if we get some more confirmations.

Btw Zoom is also reinstalling itself one minute after uninstalling it. Made a video of it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20390755
