80/20 rule twice is the 4/64 rule. 4% effort is 64% of the result.

People think the 90/10 rule is cool, but if you do the rule twice. 1% effort gets you 81% of the way. 10% of 10%. So we need a 1/81 rule even though it doesn't add to 100%. Ya feel me? Am I bad mathing?.

We need a CursorArena for model performance in @cursor_ai . Can't trust the benchmarks. They tightly coupled their implementation to Claude models.

We are entering the phase of AI where we can let it run and check on it periodically. I now queue up 4-5 prompts at a time and then make adjustments and refactor. Kinda boring TBH

If y'all are curious, it's built with @astrodotbuild and Vanilla JavaScript. I built all the components myself (carousels, accordions, etc). Soup to nuts styles and animations. And this was all done pre-ChatGPT!. All I did in this PR was make it pretty.

Let me tell you. Grok 4 is not worth spending 8x Gemini 2.5. And o3 is not worth 4x Gemini 2.5. These are the readouts from the @cursor_ai dashboard. Or maybe I am reading it wrong?

How do you add the official plugins with no config file in v4?
