I'm surprised there aren't more tools out there for starting a new project with some default config files. There's `cargo new` but it's Rust specific and very minimal. create-react-app is React specific. The only option I know of is cookiecutter. Surely it's a common problem?

LLMs are surprisingly good at reducing crash samples. I've had success with "this project crashes my static analysis tool with the following command, try to shrink the repro whilst preserving the crash. Commit each smaller version to a branch".

What is the lowest resolution image that is still recognisable? I made a space invader craft project at one point and spent a bunch of time wondering if I had enough materials.

I'm still not sure whether a language should include a "kitchen sink linter" like Rust's clippy or have a package oriented "thousand flowers bloom" linter like eslint for JS and TS. Clippy is delightful out of the box but eslint makes it so easy to have project specific lints.
