I don't want to dunk on the specific person who wrote the "how I used Claude to file my taxes" blog post that just came across my desk. I just want to note that having an LLM do your taxes seems to me like an extremely bad idea
The blog post does take a moment to rave about "what markdown can do for you especially for the agentic world," though. Because that's what my tax filing workflow has been missing. Markdown
@jalefkowit nothing like thousands of lines of tables in Markdown to bring usability to taxes
@petrillic Adding a CLAUDE.md file that sternly instructs it to do the math right
@jalefkowit do they mention the specific brand and color of the paint they huffed beforehand? Just asking.
