wired.com Aarian Marshall 2025-10-02 08:00:00

As I built it, I’d often navigate the web app and spot things that needed to be fleshed out. Sometimes it was a small typo; other times it was a bigger feature that was still TODO. At one point I had Claude Code redesign the homepage to make it more lively. In doing so, it added some new functionality that didn’t fully exist yet: A “View All Insights” link that would show you
