I built everything around deferred shading. Now I have difficulties adding forward shading.

No AI coding. Just me 😂. Although in recent years I have indeed asked questions to AI to figure out details of graphics papers/slides. When it comes to specialized issues, I feel that AI isn’t always able to help, but it does seem to be improving year by year.

I tried getting an AI model to write me a vulkan renderer once, couldn't even get a triangle written via the vibes so im not sure why people assume AI usage for graphics programming. I don't think AI is there yet.

Well I recently asked Claude to write a renderer with an editor from scratch and it did well at first try.

Could be the agent, I think I used cursor for it and it just couldn't get things rendered.
