LLM agent hand-writes a 100-line NumPy rasterizer instead of using a render library

Asked for a printable custom board case, an LLM agent returned a full 3D preview (assembled, exploded, print orientation views). Inspecting it, the author found the agent had hand-written an ad-hoc 100-line NumPy triangle rasterizer with outline detection rather than using any render library — a sign new agents are adopting a hacker/demoscene coding attitude.
