Thank you, and I know exactly what you mean. I myself have rewritten the entire engine ar least three times until I was happy with the performance and the overall outcome. It’s been a long learning experience. As a developer at heart, this project scratched every itch I had from a software engineering perspective :)
How much of this release was made easier with LLMs?
You should write about this, the gotchas and what you learned how to make things performant. Might drive some traffic.
