 This leverages oclif's `execute` function which handles all the development setup for you. You no longer need set the `NODE_ENV` env var or register the project with `ts-node`. You still adjust oclif `settings` before executing the CLI. For example,
 
-```js
-#!/usr/bin/env node
-// eslint-disable-next-line node/shebang
-(async () => {
-  const oclif = await import('@oclif/core')
-  oclif.settings.performanceEnabled = true
-  await oclif.execute({type: 'esm', development: true, dir: import.meta.url})
