- A developer with 45 years of coding and 33 years as a professional game developer (from hand-coded assembly to UE 5.8) calls the shift to agentic coding "intoxicating" — the biggest productivity jump he has ever experienced.
- Another builder notes that prototypes his VR musical theatre team spent two years fundraising for took him just three hours to make with AI.
- Both describe the same feeling: when almost anything feels buildable, you constantly feel you should be building.
