Are those passionate/nerdy people still running niche websites? A search engine that prioritizes that kind of content would be great.
There’s a search engine for exact such websites — https://wiby.me

No worries, one promising use of LLMs is that we could describe a level someday with all its key features and just have it created fully formed, instantly!
Imagine a game mode where you as a player can just describe what you want while the LLM builds something fun and challenging! I think in simpler games such as Doom this should be possible already.
Thankfully there’s not enough money in hobby level design for AI slop investment, so this won’t happen.
I caught myself on being so overwhelmed on possibilities current state of tools and technologies can one easily utilise, so ended up working on exactly nothing at all.

When I see a page filled with junky ads like that, I instantly close it. On mobile especially, it’s unusable.
I’m amazed something like this gets traction here.
Most of the users of this website probably run ad blockers, thus the traction. Bu I agree.

It is helping me do that projects that would otherwise take me hours in just a few minutes, soooo, shrug.
What kind of projects are those? I am genuinely curious. I was excited by AI, Claude specifically, since I am an avid procrastinator and would love to finish tens of projects I have in mind. Most of those projects are games with specifical constraints. I got disenchanted pretty quickly when started actually using AI to help with different parts of the game programming. Majority of problems I had are related to poor understanding of generated code. I mean yes, I read the code, fixed minor issues, but it always feels like I don’t really internalised the parts of the game which slows me down quite significantly in a long run, when I need to plan major changes. Probably a skill issue, but for now the only thing AI is helpful for me is populating Jira descriptions for my “big picture refactoring” work. That’s basically it.
What? They all butcher it. On a weekly basis I make the the mistake of clicking some link to a site and find I can't hit the back button to escape. Maybe this is technically the site developers' fault, not the library devs, but it's a lousy experience for users.
My favourite part is when you middle click the link to be opened in a new tab to be read later to find out that it opens a bunch of main pages or nothing at all. That’s a top level UX.
IANAL but artistic style is not copyrightable. Many many human artists have created images and animated films in the style of Ghibli or Disney or Pixar and there's no direct copyright issue there.
A friend of mine tried to create stock illustrations in Disney style on Etsy, got banned almost immediately for copyright infringement. I guess it depends.

Definitely stop using jest
I bet someone already had entertained an idea to add cryptominer to Jest, nobody would notice slight increase to those tests running times on CI. Maybe it could even start funding those open source maintainers enough to finally make ES6 modules non-experimental.

Use Rust
According to the comment below, it should be “Use Java”.

I think they should start scanning package with the help of AI.
