@manchuck someone had a stream clip a while back where someone put an error output into ai then excitedly said "look it can tell you what file and line the error is on"...
@manchuck I'm trying to handover various projects and watched my boss ask Claude to generate documentation on it. It has a readme he didn't even look at first, then was impressed how detailed it was - based on the bits literally in the readme!

Attached: 1 image Yesterday we saw the most _new_ NPM packages being released in the last 12 months, at 2804 packages. Pretty steady upward trajectory here, unlike we've ever seen. This graph is spiky because it's daily data and weekends are lower.
