Is this intentional?

Yes, I thought it was aligned with the "story", do you think it is irritating?

It caught me off guard because the first thing I did was set up cmake and try to get a baseline build. The error messages from the compiler were really confusing until I saw that the template contained garbage. At this point I thought maybe I somehow got a bad download from the exercism CLI and tried again with the same result. Ultimately I deleted the garbage and created an empty skeleton before I ever opened the instructions. It felt like an unnecessary papercut to me, but maybe I'm a weirdo that approached this backwards.
