    Vibe coding is an utterly stupid idea that just results in you not knowing how the code works.

      Kozy asked for a different rule set; essentially changing a few numbers related to non-combat victory (shorter research times, lower policy points required, etc). Identifying these numbers in a complicated code base, especially for a non-programmer, could be very difficult. For the non-programmer, understanding how the code works isn’t very important. You just need to know what to change, and perhaps make sure you don’t change more.

      I think this is exactly a case where getting a novice programming friend to make a mod would make sense. Equivalently, to vibe code.
