Show HN: My 4 year old made a game

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 7:26pm

Bored playing the nth round of Uno, I thought it would be fun to write a game with my 4 year old daughter.

Using Claude Sonnet 3.7 as our "developer" and me acting as the "Product Manager" aka LLM translator, I tried to capture her instructions as verbatim as I could, only adding context to make the prompts work.

The result is a simple browser game which you can play. I added a writeup of all the prompts along the way so you can see how this was put together.

It was only after I realised where she drew her inspiration from.

If you have kids, it's definitely a fun exercise. My wife and I were blown away with how quickly we got something working, my daughter grew tired of it after about a minute.... I fear that this generation will never really appreciate how much effort this used to take.

Ask HN: How to find problems for B2B customers?

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 7:18pm

I have build two simple products. One was about video and other was search related idea. Both did not do well. I made mistake of building thinking I have this problem so others might as well. But, that did not turn out to be true despite a little positive response earlier.

I am curious, as a software engineer and introvert tech person, how and where do you find problems for b2b? We are mostly isolated in our worlds. It is hard to get meetings to understand and validate problem. Where do you see people to talk to?

For example, sales enablement can get lift from a lot AI focused work. But, no one responded even to discuss whether this problem exists.

I will appreciate if you got any insights around this.

Ask HN: Is the Surge of AI-Gen Tools by Inexperienced Developers Worrying You?

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 7:15pm

Are you concerned about the rapidly growing number of services/tools and other software created by inexperienced developers with the help of AI in just a couple of evenings?

I believe that the abundance of such services in the near future could create 'problems' for the functioning of well-built software. In other words, it may become increasingly difficult for developers of quality software to monetize their work. But perhaps I’m wrong.
