I Spent a Day and a Half Using AI to Make a Literacy Game for My Son

Recently I gave a talk at a major conference. Before and after the event, I met quite a few people. Among the attendees, there were broadly two camps. One camp spends every day immersed in open-source communities, building products and growing their own direction. Chat with them for a few minutes and you can feel a density of being on the front lines—their viewpoints grow on-site, carrying heat and contagious energy. The other camp carries a different scent: boss-assigned tasks, checkbox logic.
