Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And the particulars are not that important, but I asked it to do that for me.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And it did, but it did it in a very clunky, very immature way.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And as I dug into what it was doing and what it had done to figure out, okay, is this really what I would have done?

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Was I saving myself rote work or am I punting on something that I should really have a think about?

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And it was quickly obvious to me that, no, I punted on something that I should have had a think about.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And I could go back and forth and say, no, don't do it that way, do it this way.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Or why did you choose that instead of this and blah, blah, blah.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And I could have done that.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And there have been instances in less complicated topics that that's worked out really, really well for me.

But in this particular case, it didn't give me the results I wanted.

678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And I ended up for the piping through the object graph, I ended up doing that all by hand.

And for the iPad stuff, I had to put it away because I had other stuff I needed to do.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

I think I'll probably take another stab at it probably tomorrow, but I get the vibe that I'm going to end up going back and just rolling this.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

So all of this by hand, because from this particular use case, I'm not trying to extrapolate to everything under the sun, but for me and call sheet, it's been okay.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Like simple stuff.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

It can handle really well, but anything even vaguely complicated, it's not great.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Yeah, actually I did that with Claude code, not with the new beta.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

I did that with like a week ago with Claude code.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And for the most part, it was nothing that was that super duper important, but it definitely did find some stuff.

And what, and what I did, I think I might've said this already, apologies if I'm repeating myself, but I just cloned the repo somewhere else.
