yacineMTB ships LLM-written CAD tool dingcad in 3 hours, users print via prompt

Yacine (yacineMTB) shipped dingcad — a live-reload CAD scripting tool positioned as an openscad replacement (edit scene.js, scene refreshes instantly; deps: raylib, manifoldcad, quickjs) — within 3 hours of having the idea, with the repo mostly autonomously written by LLMs he 'lazily prompted' while hanging out with family. A user then prompted it to export an STL and sent a MacBook-screen wine glass holder straight to their 3D printer.
