Love that your comment is ambiguous enough to apply to both sides here :)

There is absolutely no "Bun drama", there are just two projects with different goals and methodologies, mutually incompatible. All this thing is just a small bunch of bored, terminally-twitting people ...

In any case, I'm super glad for this milestone (and impressed!).

looks very polished and neat. Alas for me 10-20ish lines for the json response is really, really not enough

Because some thoughts can, actually, be original ? Or relatively original enough ? Or simply, pertinent and timely ?

If you have a lot of "images" with such effects to generate from dynamic text, using SVG makes no sense, is vastly more complex and less flexible than the solution here.

Wow! Very cool. How did it manage to get a knight out as an opening move, for instance? Moving between the pieces, or moving other pieces out of the way?

oh, that's why US has the only working economy in the world ! :)

joking, of course everyone does 'projects, labs, teamwork and papers'. It's just not the main focus of the grading process.

Seems like you're equating 'education' with 'employability training'.

Try multithreaded code, it's wild (how wrong it is). I wonder how/where next models will learn thread safety.

I like the declarative nature of it. It makes it so easy to debug anything, with "simple" introspection tools. I feel that many horrors will be created when we introduce control flow to CSS.

And this project kinda show how far you can go, still, if you really want it :D
