If Claude is so smart, why do I need to tell it not to send node_modules as context.

If I'm so smart, why didn't I do that in the first place.

2025 is weird.

Separately, why wasn't I told that Don't Look Up is a masterpiece? I thought it was just some goofy whatever movie, but it's great. Every actor disappears, and it feels so possible.

6pm: Wow. Thanks Claude, 4 hours of time back.

8pm: Maybe not.

10pm: Def not.

12am: Never again, Claude.

1am: I didn't know what I was saying! Claude! I'm so sorry!!! Please fix this.

3am: You are hopeless.

4am: You did it! You fixed it!

8am: Ahem. I did this...

Everything else is controlling that silliness.
