I'm questioning what the purpose is of pushing it at this point in the project lifecycle. It may not have a fancy website but it is making flashy marketing claims in that readme. How about being upfront about the maturity of the projec

I'm curious on the goal of releasing software like this, it's making some crazy claims right out of the gate, but is obviously not production ready or battle hardened. There's some reasonably obvious security issues and not a

GPT doesn't render but does actually work, Grok does not fully work Two scrambles in a row and the thing is broken.

Having a timer is maybe not so much the problem, but there's no reward here for doing early words quickly and no appreciation for the fact that difficulty is not linear. Would be nice if you could bank up some time for when harder ones

Grok doesn't even solve the cube if you scramble more than once, that is NOT the AI you wan't building your software, no matter how cheap.

Or to look at it another way, they're perfectly happy to let you stand in a queue, outside, on the runway, in the cold/heat, waiting for them to unload/load the plane that has just landed and is often already late.

That is all the stuff that should be in the README.md of the project in the first place though.

What resonated with me in this article was that there's something about question itself that seems off. And that's even more the case if you answer a lot of people's questions on similar topics. This guy's post is obviou

You're absolutely right ... it's strange that someone would post a personal message about something on their personal blog.

But why is it different? Why does it need to be? I don't write code the same as other devs so why would/should I use AI the same? Is this a hangover from when the tools were not as good?
