Laid off on Tuesday. The AI built my game and it was live by Wednesday breakfast.

His role was eliminated on Tuesday morning. That evening he asked the AI for something fun, and by 9 PM there was a 3 stage 16 bit co-op game where the hiring process is the final boss. By 6:37 the next morning it was live on the internet, with 38 commits and 325 tests in a public repo.

How it works

  1. Opens an AI session at 18:05 and asks for something fun
  2. The AI pitches a co-op beat ’em up about the job hunt
  3. They build it with tests and docs in each commit
  4. The game goes live at 06:37 the next morning

Why it’s worth knowing

A complete playable game about his own layoff went from an evening idea to a live site before breakfast the next day.
