ChatGPT for LC scripting - and ports

[Mike Kerner]

what up, curry?

* on the LC side:
i am not paying stupid money per year for every mobile device we deploy to.
i'm also not a fan of web-based rad tools. so unless something changes
wildly, we're SO out. disappointed, and annoyed, and out. i'm not going to
hold on, hoping that something is going to change. imagine paying hundreds
to deploy your own apps to your own devices, every year, when you could
rewrite them in swift, KMP, React Native, or flutter.

* on the IDE side:
the IDE's are all in motion, all the time. at the moment, VSC is good
enough.
i don't love any of the mobile frameworks. flutter has been the best one
for us, so far. KMP is behind on multi-platform. the guys are screwing
around with swift on android. we'll see what they think.
who knows, maybe in a month or fifteen we'll just code x-platform ASM via
prompts, and that'll be the end of that.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
