Been working on preval with claude for a few weeks now. It's great. I've been letting it implement ideas and patterns and every so often I let it do some perf hunting. It gives up very easily but /goal is a life saver. Past two days I had it use this 10mb malware sample and it's been gutting perf 😍

"This reducer is taking 1200ms for this 10mb sample, bring it under 100ms" Non-trivial because there are million element loops (idents) galore and it's quite a complex beast at this point. But it managed to slowly chip away and is now sitting at 150ms. Just optimizing. Over and over. So nice.

All the while I've just been playing minecraft (getting ready for adventure with the kids) and chess :D It's not exactly an idle game (claude) and in many ways it is (you still have to holds its hand, be present, clickyticlick). But I enjoy it.
