Author @emollick highlights that Fable stood out for creative problem-solving and sound judgement on long-running efforts. To demonstrate, they gave Fable a single instruction — "make it better" — and report it produced a self-aware Snake game; the resulting build is available at snake-stable-build.netlify.app (posted 2026-06-22).
