I told glenn he *had* to check his networking libraries with a frontier model, despite of course AI being fucking horrible; it *immediately* found a huge fucking stack in years old foundational code used by tons of games.

sure i would simply rewrite every video game in rust

rewrite Rust in rust

doesn’t have to be a full port as seen in lots of other software (browsers, operating systems, web services) as long as we say that changing things is too hard, things won’t change and we’ll keep having stupid buffer overrun CVEs besides, can’t the AI just port your libraries now? :P

I feel like game devs are a unique combination of all of “doing some of the hardest software engineering”, “wild west cowboy bullshit”, and “hitting themselves in the head with hammers for no reason”
