Have been experimenting using Claude as a sounding board for ideas and designing new features. It's bad at coming up with good ideas, but it's good at coming up with lots of different bad ideas that inspire good ones.

Trying out the new @anthropic.com Claude Code and it did a pretty decent job helping me fix some silly React hook issues (most probably because I'm a hook-noob), but *most excitingly* it generated a nice helpful commit message so I might finally escape from "fix looping issue" commit land :D

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
