Nine developers split into three groups, each spending 10-minute rounds building on three code folds — a Python art generator using Pillow, a Ruby terminal game, and a JavaScript world lore generator — without seeing earlier groups' work. AI tools were encouraged but with intentionality. The exercise surfaced interesting dynamics around AI-assisted workflows, debugging inherited code, and collaborative creativity. The author later hand-coded a final 'whole body' game combining all three folds, which is playable online. The boilerplate repo is open for other teams to try. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
