I had a bug in my new ML-DSA implementation that caused Verify to reject all signatures. I gave up after half an hour. On a whim, I threw Claude Code at it. Surprisingly (to me!) it one-shotted it in 5 minutes.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Currently getting shaken down for exorbitant fees for the tool whose name shall not be mentioned (has the same name as a 1997 horror movie about a giant snake). If you're still using that old tool, or you're using Poetry, you will never regret moving to uv.
