Focus and persistence in coding.

Focus and persistence in coding.

By Shiftrox_ | True Reflection | 22 Apr 2026


Focus to make it happen, that's what we need at certain times. Difficult decisions may occur and, unfortunately, we will need to choose between one thing or another, but giving up something to pursue a goal with all our strength is something interesting. I've been doing this lately and, as a result, I've taken a break from Hive and reduced the frequency of my posts. The reason for this is that I am developing a game, with different ideas and very simple mechanics, but even so, it is still complex to make.

The use of AI is practically indispensable for web development, which is not my area of ​​expertise by default. It's been a big challenge to balance everything, the use isn't completely continuous, the limitations on credit, even when paying, are annoying and get in the way of delivering results faster, but I'm still enjoying it. But why make something that perhaps no one will use? Well, were all the dreams that came true only made when there were thousands of players or users online? Definitely not.

That's what the focus is, that's what persistence is, it's you continuing to look for something even if everything is the opposite, even if everything is against you. I don't care if it doesn't work out, I'm learning a lot and that's something wonderful, plus the feeling of creating something too, I love it. Thinking, elaborating, writing and seeing the result, understanding and fixing what went wrong, programming is like that and even though the new normal is now “vibe coding”, thinking about structures, about what you want to happen, is also something very complex. A rich prompt returns better results.

Anyway, I'll go all the way. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I will fight for it, I want to create and share the craziest things possible and I want to see people having fun with it. And of course I have fun together too, why not? So, I will continue developing, creating and sharing here with my friends and colleagues at Hive. I want to create many unique experiences and hope to achieve my goals.

Furthermore, I ask that you please test my game, all feedback is welcome! The link is here: https://horizonforge-production.up.railway.app/

Thank you very much. :)
