It's weird that we don't have better tools for visualizing code
Simple example: if I want to reason about a function call tree that's a few layers deep, it's fairly miserable to get all that information visible at once on screen, and there will be lots of noise, if it fits at all

If it were not for Bill Atkinson’s HyperCard, Rand and I would have never begun making games and we would have never made Myst and Riven. He was a gentle soul and a brilliant human. We owe so much to him.

One thing I did not expect with AI was how democratized it would become. I assumed it would always require data centers and data lakes, only accessible to a couple major tech companies

That Witcher Unreal demo is crazy, man. It feels like they're tapping into some new fundamental primitives of how virtual worlds can be represented

Biased prediction: as LLMs make it easier to pierce esoterica, but have a problem with producing too much complexity at scale, programming languages with stronger types and semantics will have a renaissance. The barriers to adoption will be lower and the benefits will be higher
