Today's (non-coding) Claude Code usecase. "My disk is almost full, what can I delete?"... "Here are 150GB of cache directories, Rust build artifacts, node_modules directories, etc."

We want to thank Posit for their support! With Posit’s help, we were able to grow our team by one full time engineer, committed to make the Typst compiler even better ❤️
At Posit, we love @typst.app:

⚡ Make PDFs in milliseconds, not minutes
✨ The power of LaTeX with today's technologies
✍️ Modern typography (including emojis!)
🧠 Clear mental model

So I'm thrilled to announce that we're now supporting its development: posit.co/blog/posit-a...

Playing with a local MCP server that renders SVG images to PNG, so that Claude can "see" the rendered image, and can iterate on the SVG. Using this approach with @simonwillison.net's pelican challenge produces an interesting result with Sonnet 3.7
