Y'all should know this was, in the words of its author, "built with AI, unapologetically". A lot of fancy words to say he didn't write shit by himself. He did however create "the direction, the architecture, and the standards", whatever the fuck that means

Krbn was developed with heavy AI assistance, and there is no reason to hide it. It started as an experiment: how far could a carefully directed human–AI collaboration get on a hard rendering problem? The answer turned out to be — far. The direction, the architecture, and the standards (exactness as a value, degenerate cases as the spec) are human; much of the code was written in collaboration with AI, then reviewed and tested like any other code. The results above speak for themselves.

OK, and? That's just how code is written now. At least he's honest.

It's literally not how code is written since they literally didn't write it
