I Built a Pirate MMO with AI. The File Size Alone Will Shock You.
A developer built a fully functional pirate MMORPG using Claude Code AI. The entire game—procedural world, multiplayer, gameplay—fits in just 5MB. This isn’t just a novelty; it’s a wake-up call about software bloat. AI writes code from first principles, stripping away the unnecessary dependencies that humans habitually add. The result: a compact, efficient MMO that challenges everything we think we know about development.
