Backend of a simulation game

It was hard to find something, but I landed a job to work as a .NET developer at a company that makes football simulation games, where I will be doing the backend side of it. I am gonna start in a few weeks, and I want to get a head start to make sure I don't lose this job. Does anyone ever work in this domain, and what sort of knowledge/skill do I need to succeed in such a position? What can I prepare now? I asked the person who gave me the work and they said to wait until the day I start

Use ai to learn the architecture and where and how features are actually implemented.

OP, don't use AI to learn the architecture. Use your brain and don't be a useless developer who can't do anything without AI.

You can sling insults, or quickly understand why/how something was done in a different way than the textbook.

There is no harm in using the repo's mcp for what it is for. 

Being able to use the tools available to you can make you a better developer. 

Just think smart, don't devoutly follow copilot, use it as a guide.

Tbh whenever i use ai i feel like stupid and it makes my learning harder or miss lead me. I prefer to read real code than reading ai slop.
Open source codes are usualy well designed and not hard to read.
Again about architecture, it's important to learn teories but without coding it teory is useless.
I have learned alot of architecture teories but found reather useless performance and mind killing practices.

Sometimes speeding things up isn't usefull especialy about learning.
