Trying Claude Code this evening, instead of going Tango dancing. #nerd It's just too tantalizing. First thing is trying to understand an existing codebase from an opensource project I wanted to read ages ago.

Approximately 90min later, it has been crunching away. (after buying and setting up a Pro account) Asked it to explain the code for: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tinysp... Seems to take forever, but so far the explanations seem *very* impressive.

My first question was: "can you explain how the sparql evaulation is done when processing a sparql query?" And the explanation ran through the various files and the methods with line numbers, explained the parsing and how the mapping to SQL is done. 😵‍💫 Waaaaaay better than I have understood it

And it is 23:30, done for now. 2 hours later. I learnt enough about the project, and to be honest, my first experience with using Claude Code to explain something to me is astonishingly good. Next up, asking it to help in making some stuff. But that will have to wait for another day.
