@itamarst You know what, I’m in. All any 3rd party logistics consulting company is going to do these days is take all my business data and run it through Claude Code, so I may as well get a playlist and a free karaoke machine.

Updated the version of Numba (and therefore LLVM) I use for my book, in preparation for paid Early Access.

@glyph @tiotasram In the old days the deployment platform was a floppy disk: you turn the computer on, and it booted straight into the application.
