LGTM turns AI software development into an incremental game
This satirical game casts AI software development as a startup-management loop: write or paste code, hire agents, juggle tech debt and chase an exit.

Field notes
The interface tracks lines of code, bugs, money, fame, tech debt, hype, runway and profit, with actions for code review, hiring and fundraising. Agents can take bounties, spending lines of code and collecting money every 2.5 seconds; a linter slows bugs but complains about semicolons. A team-cut screen says HR will use a random draw, which Legal describes as “a data-driven process.”
