what a beautiful article, thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

This is the story with most frontend developers, they are not usually from a typical computer science background.

Cursor 3 is a complete rewrite, its no longer a fork.

It's still a VSCode fork. Even Cursor's own About window tells you it's VSCode.

  Cursor
  Version: 3.4.20
  VSCode Version: 1.105.1

I believe the agent view is a complete rewrite, and maybe the other parts but not the editor itself

What an amazing piece of information in a thread about a game engine, thanks for sharing this.

We built Wetarseel with a focus on keeping the "mental overhead" of infrastructure as low as possible.

The Hardware: > We’re using a single Hetzner VPS (8 vCPU, 32GB RAM, 200GB NVMe) for ~$25/month. Compared to the big cloud providers, the vertical scaling headroom here is massive for the price.

The Stack:

Orchestration: Coolify (self-hosted PaaS). It handles SSL, GitHub-triggered Red/Blue deployments, and Docker management.

Runtime: Next.js and Bun.

Database: SQLite. Having the DB as a local file on NVMe makes latency negligible and simplifies backups (it's just a file copy).

Workers: BullMQ via Redis.

Storage: Self-hosted S3-compatible storage on the same node.

The goal was to see how far we could get before needing a distributed system. So far, the performance has been excellent, and "it just works." Happy to answer any questions about the setup or the trade-offs of going single-server.

The most shocking thing in this article is learning about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine I didn't know about it, what an unnecessary loss of life in a modern era.

If that shocks you, the rest of the "Great Leap Forward" policies will chill you to the bone. It really contextualizes the miracle of Chinese modernization.

> I’m typing this blog on a HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14. Question to HP, who names this crap? Why do these companies insist on having the most confusing product lineups and names.

The reason is that they are not serious companies, this is why anything other than a real macbook and with a real macOS is not worth having spent time on.

Even if one game doesn't work on this (there are many) and works on Windows, why shouldn't I just use Windows?

If you like the Windows experience you should definitely use Windows.
