pouët.net :: your online demoscene resource

I am entitled by my opinion as do you. Personally I see very little reason to write most code by hand now in 2026. Exceptions: just for fun, hard or novel algorithms, size or speed optimizing and potentially huge codebases
Some people couldn't be bothered to make their own samples, so they ripped
“just for fun” - bingo!
write mode code by hand -> you're not writing code by LLM, you have a LLM write code for you and you pay in exchange of the service, why not just hire someone on fiver for this?
I'm sizecoder and code optimizer for a reason.

[Podcast] 170. Demozoo with Gasman: preserving demoscene history

[ Ericade.radio news & podcasts ] [Podcast] 170. Demozoo with Gasman: preserving demoscene history

Demozoo is in the center of the demo scene, making sure all productions are catalogued, stored and documented. Today, DJ Daemon meets Gasman - the leader of Demozoo who also co-founded it. They talk about the history, present and future of Demozoo and the demo scene itself. And also discuss what it means when artificial intelligence has taken over, why its a challenge to make sure the data is correct and if Demozoo can become the demoscene's Spotify.
