Given the comments, I think this is probably the most relevant quote from the project creator (my bolds):

This project was built with AI, and that is part of the point.

I am not a reverse engineer or a security engineer, and I did not come up through whatever field normally teaches this. Almost all of the code here was written by AI coding agents (Claude) that I direct: I decide what to try, think up the angle of attack or the workaround, and the AI implements it quickly and comes back with a result I can check. That loop (an idea, an implementation within the hour, a measurement that says whether it held) is what made a project of this size possible for one person.

What I take from it: the bar for entry has dropped a great deal. The creativity is still yours (which problem to solve, which trick might get around it, when a result is not good enough), but the distance between having the idea and seeing whether it works is now very short.

Two rules kept it honest: every claim has to come from a test or a measurement (this README says what was measured and what was not), and nothing derived from the game goes into the repository. It is a study project; expect rough edges, and mistakes that a specialist would not have made.

I've kinda been thinking about coding with AI the same way lately seeing these projects. It's all just logic. And much of it is tediously typing out that logic even when you already know exactly what you're trying to do. Having a bot just quickly write up code you would have typed yourself isn't really the same as not being able to draw Mickey Mouse so you generate a drawing with AI.

But then again, we are getting to a point where you can just prompt the thing with "make me a clone of dwarf fortress, but in space" and it could do everything to make that happen. No creativity needed at all.
