When I design a new game mechanic and my coder says it can't be done, but then ends up staying up all night to prove himself wrong.

Imagine finding out there’s a bug in the code in that picture…

Relatable, I cover those two roles and I hate my boss for making me do this. (also me)

"it impossible. but if it were possible, it would be like this."

have done this with unity about 4 times now...
"you can't do x. unity can't handle that"
"ok how about x + 2"
"........why does that work"

So.... basically you're saying your coder is a liar.

I think it's more that coders hold strong opinions about what's doable, but in saying something can't be done, they pose themselves exactly the kind of "impossible" challenge they can't resist.
Then they have to sit up all night trying to be the cleverdick that DID do the impossible.

I do this to myself all the time.
Now I'm burnt out 🫠

Thanks for the offer, but my coder is already a robot. Literally.

If you mean you're using an LLM to write code for you, I mean... that's actually fine :) But it's an AI, not a robot :)
If you do actually have a robot thing that types code for you, I eat my words and fully wanna see it.

oh no, its blueprint

There's nothing more tempting to try than something that seems unlikely to work.
