Claude Code really likes using python asserts outside of tests, which is proper insanity. When compiling to optimised byte code, python asserts are ignored. This will mean a lot of code running in production, where assert style logic will be completely removed from the code.

Well after a good number of years, I have dropped VSCode & now full time on Zed. I found VSCode was becoming far too much of a performance hog in big projects and crashing midway through coding without a save hooks getting in first.
So far, really liking Zed. Rust based, so perf is much better

A great example of building something utterly useless. British Standard 1363 mains plugs are protected by mechanical shutters. The shutters must simultaneously engage both the neutral & earth pins making them complete safe for baby fingers
