Thank you, Claude!
Trigger warning: I am going to say something nice about AI.
I am blown away by what Claude Code can do, and not just in writing code but in all kinds of system configuration tasks.
This month, I’ve used Claude Code (the $20/month version) to clean up and enhance my emacs configuration, adding a complete org-babel literate coding capability and creating a list of all my custom keybindings - something I’ve been meaning to do for ages.
=> github.com/leolaport… - take a look at CLAUDE.md and keybindings.md for an example of what Claude can do. It’s far more organized than I am
I also used it to configure the Sway window manager for a new laptop. I am new to Sway and the waybar but Claude is apparently an old pro. Incrementally, with Claude’s help, I was able to make it better and better until it’s the best Linux environment I’ve ever used - fully tailored to my exact specifications.
I keep wanting to type “thank you, Claude!” but I know that’s just a waste of CPU cycles.
It’s nice that they’ve doubled my token quota through the end of the year. I’ve got lots more little things to do that I’ve put off for years.
