My 2.5 year old laptop can write Space Invaders in JavaScript now (GLM-4.5 Air)

Aside that space invaders from scratch is not representative for real engineering, it will be interesting to see what the business model for Anthropic will be if I can run a solid code generation model on my local machine (no usage tier per hour or week), let’s say, one year from now. At $200 per month for 2 years I can buy a decent Mx with 64GB (or perhaps even 128GB taking residual value into account)

OK, go write Space Invaders by hand.

I'd hope most professional software engineers could do this in an afternoon or so?

Depends on the rules. Can I look up other space invaders games on github first? Can I use a game framework?

Just JS / HTML docs I probably could not.
