Reduce AI Decision Fatigue: Lessons from Game Design

I have been facing significant decision fatigue when using AI for development. To drive necessary changes, I turned to game development.

The Software Life

Rust can be used to build a server and client for a browser game. Here is a web socket protocol structure to keep architecture clean.

Game Development

If the AI is generating the code, how does the developer keep technical and creative control of the project?

After checking if a variable is null, how you use the variable changes based on the type. Avoid confusion and use the correct syntax for each.

C# has multiple different syntaxes for switch statements and expressions. Here is what they are and how to use them.

AI for Developers

From LLM Only to RAG app, let's look at each of four examples of LLM architecture that incorporate LLMs at varying levels of complexity.

Development Practices

Feature flags are often represented as on/off switches. But what happens when they need to represent more states?

Extracurricular Activities

Godot does not support abstract functions. The good news is, there are ways to work around this and fake abstract classes.

React / Redux

Simplify dynamic content management by using React's useReducer hook to centralize your page's state management.

GitHub Actions

Use GitHub action triggers to fine-tune workflows and run for every pull request, commit push, or run pipelines manually.

Exploratory Testing

Use Cypress requests to validate server responses and ensure network requests complete before tests continue.

Web Apps

I used Remix on a short prototype app that displayed a series of reports. The app was a great use case for Remix for a few reasons.
