This is unbelievably cool. How did you use AI for this? Absolutely not suggesting there's anything wrong with it - quite the contrary. I find AI is most useful for these lower level driver type projects such as yours that one knows are possible but that would be very onerous for a human to implement. For example the guy who re-wrote a driver from scratch for his HP Printer the other day.

Do you think you could have done this without AI? I've been migrating people off of AWS recently and it was absolutely made possible (or at least expedient) by AI.

You mentioned libkrun in the post, but I am not clear on why you chose not to use it for Mac even if you want to stick with Firecracker on Linux. Why not use libkrun?

The project is immensely cool, but please please do not use AI for writing. Very hard to read.

It is way more accurate to say you authorized this rather than authored it.

Honestly asking, do you think this post is easy/enjoyable for people to read? Do you intend for people to just paste it into an LLM chat to digest it?
