@ryanashcraft great set of improvements and great writeup!

The "steamed broccoli" example looks very nice! 👏 I believe I've run into this situation before. Much better now.

@ryanashcraft incredible. I love seeing these stories of practical use cases for AI and how it solves real problems. And vibe coding gets a lot of flack, buts great for internal tools. Nice work and great write up!
