Since 1990, I’ve programmed in BASIC, C, Visual Basic, PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, Ruby, MUSHcode, and some others. I am not an expert in any of these languages—I learned just enough to get the job done. I have developed my own hobby games over the years using BASIC, Torque Game Engine, and Godot,

I think this is where AI unquestionably shines: switching languages/projects frequently, on personal projects.

so I have some idea of what makes a good architecture for a modular program that can be expanded over time.

But I actually draw the opposite conclusion. The architecture and maintainability needs are where AI is pretty poor, and they’re vastly different and more important in a 100-1000 person 10 year production system.

It did make a splash pattern of soda crystals around the pot, but luckily we have an induction cooktop that’s easy to wipe down.

Yeah, the stripes look cool but I prefer the amount of chocolate on the more-covered ones, so I’ll probably dip next time.
