Description
<p></p><p>In this episode, I share my thoughts on the frustrating state of Berlin's public transport and how it initially fueled my virtual city project, <strong>Lelit District</strong>, built with <strong>Unreal Engine</strong>. I delve into the intriguing concept of <strong>vibe coding</strong>, where AI assists in code creation, hinting at the <strong>future of coding</strong>. However, the current limitations of <strong>vibe coding</strong> and the rapid advancements in AI are leading me to question the long-term relevance of traditional coding and even the direction of <strong>Lelit District</strong>.</p><p>I discuss the possibility of a future where AI handles the complexities of code, allowing creators to focus on higher-level concepts. This realization prompts a personal reflection on my creative journey and a consideration of shifting my primary focus to video. I revisit old travel footage, recognizing video as a more organic and direct form of expression and communication.</p><p>Join me as I explore:</p><p>* The challenges of coding <strong>Lelit District</strong> in <strong>Unreal Engine</strong> and the allure of AI-assisted <strong>vibe coding</strong>.</p><p>* My evolving perspective on the <strong>future of coding</strong> and the potential displacement of traditional software development.</p><p>* The rapid progress of AI in various creative fields, including code generation.</p><p>* My growing appreciation for video as a more natural and rewarding medium for storytelling and communication.</p><p>* The decision to potentially step back from intensive software development to embrace the authenticity of video creation.</p><p>* The idea that in the future, genuine experiences and the ability to share them organically will hold significant value.</p><p>This episode examines the tension between the evolving landscape of AI in coding and the enduring power of human-driven, organic forms of <strong>creativity</strong>, ultimately leading to a decision to prioritize video as a primary means of expression.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
