I've been programming for 15 years, but I've never really taken the plunge into 3D work. Always wanted to. So I figure, now that coding agents are so powerful, let's see if I can make something!

I've tried 3 experiments so far, and have given it serious effort. They're all terrible.

The reason they're terrible is that it's a skill issue. I don't have 3D skills. I don't know the lingo, I don't know how to describe my problems, and I don't know when the agent is shooting itself in the foot.

Yeah, you need to learn the jargon, and then use that to ask the agent to debug its own output. Sometimes you can get away by asking the agent to do the web searches and get it to figure out the stuff on its own. Again, it's not zero effort, but it's no longer skilled work.

The point of my comment is that it's absolutely skilled work. If someone with 15 years of experience in programming can't simply make a lateral move into a different type of programming without falling on their face, then it means there's more than just jargon. Each problem domain has its own unique nuances that humans need to tease out, and that requires domain skills.

		Yep. I'm a network engineer/architect- love the velocity LLMs give me in developing tooling around APIs- but if you don't know the problem domain and why you'd WANT the tools and the actual output that is useful, having the AI would be absolutely useless.
