This post is far more interesting than many others on the same subject, not because of what is built but because of how it it is built. There is a ton of noise on this subject and most of it seems to focus on the thing - or even on the author - rather than on the process, the constraints and the outcome.

Thanks, means a lot. As the author of one such article (that might have been the catalyst even), I'm guilty of this myself, and as I dove deeper into understanding what Cursor actually built, and what they think was the "success", the less sense everything made to me.

That's why taking a step back and seeing what's actually hard in the process and bad with the output, felt like it made more sense to chase after, rather than anything else.

I think the Cursor example is as bad as it gets and this is as good as it gets.

FWIW I ran your binary and was pleasantly surprised, but my low expectations probably helped ;)

I'm glad I could take people on a journey that first highlighted what absolutely sucks, to presenting something that seemingly people get pleasantly surprised by! Can't ask for more really :)
