you know, things where, like, okay, you got to spend, like, a whole day, like, investigating what the other projects do and how it fits and, like, you know, really getting to the root of the problem, right?

And I'm, like, pretty lazy generally, and I'm like, I don't want to do that.

And so, you know, I'm like, I would either do a half-assed thing.

And honestly, in the past, I would just do what, you know, what the suggested fix was, right?

It turns out that the suggested fix is actually, like, woefully incomplete, which is, you know, which is where, like, I feel like, you know, I kind of gave this to Opus 4.5.

And so, you know, one of the things it said is that like lesson Vim and a few other projects follow this pattern.

Right.

So I actually gave it the less source code.

I gave it the Vim source code and I gave it the source code to like a bunch of other things.

And I was like, okay, like dig into this, like what do these projects do?

And so this kind of comes back to the, you know, asking questions of code bases you're unfamiliar with.

And so, you know, I did that, right.

I had no idea about the less code base.

I had no idea about the Vim code base or anything.

And so it spent like 10 minutes or so.

And it actually like, you know, wrote up a nice summary of like, here is what all the projects do and so on.

Right.

And then I, you know, I kind of, you know, I was like, okay, you know, this makes sense.

And then, you know, I tried that.

And, and so, you know, it was like an interesting, like, it took me like maybe two or three hours to do.
