    Power to you!

    I started building a Claude which retains some brain power. After each pass it ablates a function or a portion of code and forces you to write it out by hand. My hope is that I can get something that deals with boilerplate and makes me focus on the interesting stuff. We'll see.

    Plug Claude back into your cleaned up codebase.. Its performance may surprise you once again. Maybe the trick to keep our sanity is LLM only on the odd days of the week.

      The performance was never in question, it's the control I missed

    Welcome back! Despite all the prophecies of doom and gloom, little has changed.

    You can still very much get ahead by working smarter not harder, even when working with your hands
