GM! It’s Brett. The future is getting weirder every day.

An engineer coded something overnight that turns working with claude code into… a video game.

You talk to a character, ask it to build an app, it walks to its workstation and builds it.

Good design principles show up in marketing. Systems thinking shows up in engineering. Physics ideas quietly run business and sociology.

Depth still matters. But leverage now comes from synthesis.
