Was lying in bed and realized I could probably get AI to generate a world map for me, as I am not great at the UX side of things. The first draft actually mostly worked: I had it create the service, show me the updates to a few of the associated things, and it does generate a graphic thing. That is sort of close if you squint sideways and have a few drinks.
But - it is a start. I'll have to look over the actual code to see what is actually happening. I think the math side of things is correct, but it did not generate the world map based on the Form 8 I dropped into the chat. However - it was also about an hour or two of work, versus a few days had I been trying to do this by myself.
Which sort of brings to mind the whole set of changes that software has been through. I've actually worked with punch cards (24 rows of 80 columns), teletype machines on greenbar, vim editors, plain text editors, early GUI editors and IDEs that started with auto-completion for lines and now the AI (technically large language models) that can write most of the code for you. Production-ready or not is an entirely different discussion, and a matter of opinions (mostly based on if they are trying to sell you an AI system or "reduce headcount"). Of course, Claude, the most popular code generator, just jumped up significantly in cost. Remember kids - the 1st hit is free!
