I rebuilt VS Code on Tauri instead of Electron. 5,687 files later. 85% smaller. Full feature parity.

VS Code rebuilt on Tauri instead of Electron — 15MB download instead of 130MB with full feature parity, but no technical breakdown of the rebuild process.

Impressive technical achievement with concrete metrics (15MB vs 130MB, full feature parity), but the post is primarily a product launch. No technical walkthrough of how the rebuild was done, no lessons learned, no reproducible technique a vibecoder can apply. It's "look what I made" rather than "here's how I did it and what you can learn."
