7-year-old ships ad-free game in 12 hours with Claude and Codex agents

natesiggard set his 7-year-old daughter up with his devops stack, using Hermes to orchestrate Claude and Codex agents. In 12 hours she built a game he judges better than 90% of kids' game slop — no ads, no privacy issues — and she can invite friends and extend it however she wants.
Her 9-year-old sister is now producing a TV show using the game's characters. The takeaway: once agents remove the engineering barrier, kids' creativity can ship as working products.
