Me to Claude: I think we've taken this mutation testing thing a bit too far. It's taking 12 hours to finish what used to take an hour. I don't mind taking our time, but this is over the top. Claude: No problem. I'll switch to extensive browser testing instead. We can get down to 11 hours that way.

Annoyingly, the tests it's not bothering with are the acceptance tests. So it keeps delivering the wrong thing, with beautiful, bug-free, extensively tested code. Validate the user stories first and make sure you've spent half a day building the *right* thing!
