I just submitted Advanced Hands on Rust, fully updated to Bevy 0.16. Bevy updates are great, but it can be hard to keep up!

Figured I'd see what the cool kids were up to, and tried RooCoder (formerly Cline). It insisted that Claude Sonnet was the way to go, so I let it try (via my OpenRouter account). Gave it a task to update some JavaScript to handle some basic CRUD operations. I also gave the same instructions...
