I spearheaded the development of an AI app that acts as a VFX Supervisor for Filmmakers and VFX Artists. This is what I learned in the process.... and this is our No Budget Launch Trailer! Curious to hear if anyone else has advice in communicating best to devs now that we have launched our MVP.

After months of work we just launched our app FX Sup and I wanted to share some of the journey for anyone else building something without doing the coding themselves. This process has been a grind. The idea came from working on film sets and constantly seeing filmmakers miss out on huge production value simply because they didn’t know what was possible with VFX or how to prep for it. That gap between production and post stuck with me for years and I finally decided to try building something to help bridge it. I’m not a developer so at first I explored no-code options. But it quickly became clear that what we needed — a mix of creative tools, project management, and a job board — wasn’t realistic to pull off without going custom. What really saved this project was wireframes and entity relationship diagrams. Honestly that’s been the single most important insight from the whole process. If you're not the one coding it clear wireframes and ER diagrams are your lifeline. That’s how you communicate with devs and make sure you’re building what you actually intended. Every time we skipped that step or got lazy about documentation something came out wrong or confusing or broken. I built the wireframes in Figma and refined the flows over and over. Then I worked with the devs to map out how everything connected on the backend. It wasn’t glamorous but it made everything real. Without that structure this project would have either stalled or turned into a bloated mess. We launched the MVP version last week on the app stores and now we’re collecting feedback and figuring out next steps. Not trying to pitch anything here just sharing in case it’s useful. If you’re building something and not writing the code yourself treat your wireframes and diagrams like your source of truth. It makes all the difference. Happy to answer any questions if anyone’s in a similar place. It’s been a long road and we’re still learning.  submitted by /u/Prestigious_Chip7205 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Prestigious_Chip7205)

If i want to work in a game dev company what topics i need to know ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mf08q9/if_i_want_to_work_in_a_game_dev_company_what/

In the future, I'd like to work as a game developer. I searched for information about Nintendo, and it says:
Game Program Development
Those with the following work experience and skills, and an interest in making games more interesting: Game development experience, game engine development experience Experience in developing graphics, dynamics, AI, game frameworks, UI, and sound Development experience in C/C++ (required) So, do I need to study C++ related to graphics? I know a little bit of C++ (arrays, structs, vectors, variables, and a little bit of OOP), but I don’t know where to start. If you have any advice, I’d really appreciate it.  submitted by /u/Comett257 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Comett257)

Seed7: a programming language I plan to work on for decades
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mfldk0/seed7_a_programming_language_i_plan_to_work_on/

Seed7 is based on ideas from my diploma and doctoral theses about an extensible programming language (1984 and 1986). In 1989 development began on an interpreter and in 2005 the project was released as open source. Since then it is improved on a regular basis. Seed7 is about readability (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#readability), portability (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#portable), performance (https://seed7.net/scrshots/s7c.htm) and memory safety (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#memory_safety). There is an automatic memory management (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#garbage_collection), but there is no garbage collection process, that interrupts normal processing. The templates (https://seed7.net/manual/tutorial.htm#Templates) and generics (https://seed7.net/manual/decls.htm#Abstract_data_types) of Seed7 don't need special syntax. They are just normal functions, which are executed at compile-time. Seed7 is an extensible (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#extensible_programming) programming language. The syntax and semantics of statements (https://seed7.net/manual/stats.htm) (and abstract data types (https://seed7.net/manual/decls.htm#Abstract_data_type), etc.) is defined in libraries. The whole language is defined in the library "seed7_05.s7i". You can extend the language syntactically (https://seed7.net/manual/syntax.htm) and semantically (introduce new loops (https://seed7.net/manual/tutorial.htm#Declare_a_statement), etc.). In other languages the syntax and semantics of the language is hard-coded in the compiler. Seed7 checks for integer overflow (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#integer_overflow). You either get the correct result or an OVERFLOW_ERROR (https://seed7.net/manual/errors.htm#OVERFLOW_ERROR) is raised. Unlike many JVM based languages Seed7 compiles to machine code ahead of time (GRAAL works ahead of time but it struggles with reflection). Unlike many systems languages (except Rust) Seed7 is a memory safe (https://seed7.net/faq.htm#memory_safety) language. The Seed7 homepage (https://seed7.net/) contains the language documentation. The source code is at GitHub (https://github.com/ThomasMertes/seed7). Questions that are not in the FAQ (https://seed7.net/faq.htm) can be asked at r/seed7 (https://www.reddit.com/r/seed7/). Some programs written in Seed7 are: make7 (https://seed7.net/scrshots/make7.htm): a make utility. bas7 (https://seed7.net/scrshots/bas7.htm): a BASIC interpreter. pv7 (https://seed7.net/scrshots/pv7.htm): a Picture Viewer for BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPM and TIFF files. tar7 (https://seed7.net/scrshots/tar7.htm): a tar archiving utility. ftp7 (https://seed7.net/scrshots/ftp7.htm): an FTP Internet file transfer program. comanche (https://seed7.net/scrshots/comanche.htm): a simple web server for static HTML pages and CGI programs. Screenshots of Seed7 programs can be found here (https://seed7.net/scrshots/index.htm) and there is a demo page (https://seed7.net/demo.htm) with Seed7 programs, which can be executed in the browser. These programs have been compiled to JavaScript / WebAssembly. I recently released a new version (https://www.reddit.com/r/seed7/comments/1mch5bu/seed7_version_20250729_released_on_github_and_sf/) which added support to read TGA (https://seed7.net/libraries/tga.htm) images, added documentation and improved code quality. Please let me know what you think, and consider starring the project on GitHub (https://github.com/ThomasMertes/seed7), thanks!  submitted by /u/ThomasMertes (https://www.reddit.com/user/ThomasMertes)
