Until 2 or 3 years, making a small Blender add-on like this would have taken me several hours. Maybe days (I know some Python, but I'm NOT a programmer).
Now just a few minutes — to write the PROMPT. And it works perfectly on the first try.

The work of this guy feels like pure Black Magic!
Everything in this scene is fully procedural, created using Blender’s Geometry Nodes.
Check out the timelapse with voice-over — it’s mind-blowing!

Blender is the best thing that has ever happened to the 3D world. I’m incredibly grateful and happy to be able to use such a magnificent tool. But it’s up to all of us to make sure it can continue to be this way!!!

A small-great tip for #Blender I just discovered right now:
To shade differently the active and inactive geometry in the viewport, go to 3D Viewport Overlays WHILE IN EDIT MODE and look for that Fade Inactive Geometry Checkbox and Opacity Slider.
