Sounds sensible to be honest. If you can rearrange icons on the desktop, and then you open the desktop folder, surely they should be arranged the same way unless chosen otherwise.

"AI makes it easier to be lazy and produce buggy software faster" is your claim, which I agree with. But I have to note that "thus AI can't be used to produce high quality software" is not something that follows from that.

Because you buy it. It being a limited license of course, not a game.

It's a fair question. I think out of the two proposed rules: enforce no AI generated code, and enforce human reviews, enforcing human reviews is actually more feasible, and in fact most companies already do that. Pull requests need human reviewers to approve them.

It's harder to enforce no AI generated code. A developer can always, at the very least, Google a problem they are having on their phone and retype the code from the AI answer into their work computer.

How do you enforce code is not AI generated? I don't see how one is more easily enforceable than the other.

Keep in mind English might not be someone's first language. They might have learned the phrase in school in their language, or even the German original, but not whatever is the accepted English translation.

I hope you mean when he bought it, not when he announced it. He announces a lot of things all the time which never happen.

Another important factor, I agree. Procedural generation and starting at the beginning in each play through would both be requirements to calling something a Roguelike to me.

And they are also called Roguelikes today. Positive examples don't reinforce a hypothesis though.

That's not an "Or" though, that's a "Probably because"

When I look at universally acclaimed rouglikes, I see Balatro, The Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, FTL, Noita. Of which none fit your definition. Meanwhile your definition would fit something like the original Pokemon games, or even chess.

I can see what you are going for, but there must be more to it. To me an important element of a roguelike is that every playthrough starts from the beginning.
