The sole reason for that rewrite was Zig creator announcing he won't be accepting AI contributions. It hurt Anthropic's feelings.

I don't think it was written by AI but rather edited with help of AI. There are just a few obvious AI lines in the text. Not great, not terrible but it immediately caught my eye.

Should be:

    ul.threadlist li.origin a {
      display: block;
      background: rgb(205, 216, 216);
      font-weight: normal;
      padding: 1px 6px;
      margin: 1px -6px;
    }

The script works just fine on real Linux, it creates 2048 files and ls command lists them all with different names.

Please don't use Jet color scheme. Matplotlib uses excellent viridis by default. There's no reason not to use it. [0][1]

I'm using this[1] and I love it. Adding 1 column of spacing between two hands is real game changer. I've tried Colemak and Workman before but I found qwerty-wide to be more comfortable than both of them. It's also much easier to learn, especially if you're Vim user.
