openfront··on Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after Navier-Stokes
I think the fear is that softwaring engineering becomes a low-skill profession. If the models get good enough you won't need years of experience to be a decent programmer.

I've found the same, the rate of bugs has dropped pretty dramatically after switching to ai generated code. I think it's partly because ai will write 1000s of lines of unit tests without complaining. I also have a github workflow where claude runs the /code-review command on every PR.
openfront··on Get your Windows license refund
I run claude code with 'dangerously skip permissions' flag enabled, and just tell it what I want. I hardly even interact with the OS anymore. I literally just tell it "install X, fix problem Y".

> find the current tools (at least the ones I know) are a bit underwhelming for multi-threading

Have you tried t3 code? It creates a separate worktree per agent, which makes running multiple agents at once much easier.

Hey everyone, I'm the creator of https://openfront.io, an open source io game licensed under AGPL/GPL with 120+ contributors. I've spent the last 15 months working on this game, even quit my job to work on it full time.

Recently a game studio called 3am Experiences, owned by "Mistik" (he purchased diep.io a while back) has ripped my game and called it "frontwars". The copy is blatant - he literally just find/replaced "openfront" with "frontwars" throughout the codebase. There is no clear attribution to OpenFront, and he's even claiming copyright on work he doesn't own.

OpenFront actually made it to the front page of HackerNews a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44528943

Questions for HN:

* Has anyone successfully enforced AGPL violations? What worked?

* Given it's a Wyoming LLC - best legal approach?

* Should I pursue copyright AND license violation, or focus on one?

* Any lawyers here experienced with AGPL enforcement?

openfront··on OpenFront: Realtime Risk-like multiplayer game in the browser
I'm the creator of OpenFront. I created an LLC mostly for tax purposes, but I maintain 100% ownership. No publishing company involved.

Playwire is ad company I'm partnering with. I recently quit my job to work on this full time, so need to figure out some form of monetization.
