LGTM.

From my own notes:

  • I wrote down that I neede "MSVC C++ x64/x86 build tool". Not sure if that's really required?
  • As someone who's used to working on the command line, it took me way to long to figure out that I had to run "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd" -arch=amd64 -host_arch=amd64 -no_logo before I could do anything useful. Not sure if that's worth mention here as well.
