13 years to 24 hours: solving a Disney engine restriction with Claude.
Disney Infinity was a wildly popular video game where kids set real toy figures on a pad to bring those characters to life on screen. But Disney built in a rule: every character was locked to its own world — your Star Wars figure could never visit the Toy Story world, and vice versa. Fans spent years trying to lift that limit and never could. In a single weekend with Claude, the founder finally unlocked it — then published the full playbook openly so the next builder can pick up where this left off.
The post went viral on r/ClaudeAI and reached over a million people. The work got the founder noticed by Anthropic, and shaped the principles behind his Code with Claude: Extended talk in San Francisco.
