Recreating a program from Yuji Horii\u0026#39;s Computer Quest convinced him his life as a game creator started there. Encountering MML, a music description language, pulled him toward music instead, and he describes the years since as a painful, endless marathon.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat changed is the arrival of \u0026#34;vibe coding\u0026#34;, where instructions go to AI in natural language instead of code written line by line.
