This Claude code dump is sincerely embarrassing. Acres and acres of pure waste, begging the machine to burn hours of gpu time doing work that someone with basic computer knowledge could do with basic arithmetic.

“Claude code is written by Claude code” turns out to mean “pleading with the software to make more software I can plead with harder forever”. This is a humiliation engine, it’s no wonder the Gastown/agentic crowd end up hollowed out like some psychological vampire’s empty juicebox.

My new argument for high and progressively higher wealth tax rates has nothing to do with social justice or progressive values or functioning democracy at all, now it’s just “these people are gullible, easily manipulated rubes and letting gullible rubes hoard too much money is the socioeconomic equivalent of storing your gun collection in a daycare.”

Marginal and corporate tax rates should be high enough that turning gasoline into madlibs that use more gasoline to make more madlibs doesn't become the only growth sector of the economy.

@mhoye moreover, for about two decades the most efficient way to make money in America has been to con a millionaire out of their ("investment") money. That changes a society.
