I forgot how slow-reading #Aristotle is. You really have to take it a word at a time.

Kind of like reading code, which I guess isn't something that people want to do anymore???

"Heh heh, I poured your codebase into clod, and it told me you're dumb. Heh heh."

It's not vibe coding... well... it is vibe coding, but the vibe is Beavis and Butthead. 🤦‍♂️

@rl_dane I never realized Claude was pronounced the same as clod. Oof.

Yeah, in my mind, it's always clod. XD

@rl_dane I think we read code very differently then, with code I tend to jump around a lot, first getting a general view of how the thing works, just ignoring how functions really do their work and see the general shape of what is happening, and then jump into things if I'm unsure about something :)

@sotolf

Yeah, with well-structured code, you really can jump around freely.

I guess I was thinking more of disassembled code, where you really have to follow it a line at a time to make sure the JMPs are interpreted correctly and you're not disassembling garbage data, etc.

@rl_dane Even then I think it makes more sense to jump in at the start point of the code and read from there, of course with assembly you miss all the function naming and so on, so you'll have to name all the functions as you figure out what they do :)
