Spaghetti length is made visible (quickly comparable), but it's still not sorted.

Bad website. No photo, only a video, and that wants to start with an ad.

If I was Notch I'd send a meagre 10 million or so Zach's way out of gratitude. Karma is a thing.

Cool project!

> The coastlines and borders come from free geo data files

Please consider another data source, or fixing this one. Crimea is part of Ukraine. Only Belarus, North Korea and of course the invading Russia think there's an international border there. I reject promoting that camp.

There should be no line between Crimea and the rest of Ukraine. Crimea is an internationally recognized part of Ukraine, not some other country.

So Claude Code was used to generate software that ran simulations? I don't think LLMs in and of themselves can execute simulations, esp. a specific, non-single digit count like 100k.

It's the only correct take, since the title atop literally says "parasitoids on bread bag tags".

> "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature [...]

I bet the first viewers of VHS were busier with marveling at color, compactness and convenience instead of thinking of the new medium as something ugly and nasty. New technology that gets very popular usually starts as state of the art and impressive, and it's only in retrospect that people think of it in condescending way.

That horrible website overrides web page scrolling and disables pinch zoom. Bad!

Many of us had CC routinely generate HTML ever since it became available. Surprised that it's presented as some kind of novelty.

Besides what others said. The "The Numbers" section is a dead giveaway. LLM likes to generate random summary stats in a metrics grid without any prompting.
