Hammers ARE pretty great…
Saying, "LLMs are great, let's just tweak it a little bit to make it not output wrong things" is like saying "hammers are great, let's just tweak it a little bit to design and build houses by itself".

Still happy I decided to rewrite the UI in ReactLua though.
I put off using Rojo and now I’ve completely broken everything and can’t figure out how to revert. Hopefully this is a rite of passage in #robloxdev

I’ve seen people say that #robloxdev is bad ROI, but is there a lower barrier to entry for solo devs? They provide the ide, hosting, and onboarding channels. That seems like a lot.

Finally taking some time to go through this Corvian Marketing template. As a dev with no marketing background, it helps me realize what I don’t know. I thought “target audience” just meant “people who like games like BedWars.” The channels and strategies section helped break it down.
