I've been experimenting with LLM programming agents over the past few months. Claude Code has become my favorite. It is not without issues, but it's allowed me to write ~12 programs/projects in relatively little time, and I feel I would not have been able to do all this in the same amount of time without it. Most of them, I wouldn't even have bothered to write without Claude Code, simply because they'd take too much of my time. (A list is included at the end of this post.) I'm still far from a

An electric bicycle—it's a regular bicycle, but with a motor on it! There are enough moving pieces on these personal mobility vehicles to make buying one confusing. Even if you're pretty sure you know what an electric bicycle is—and that you're not, riding, say, an electric motorcycle from a dealership—the technology changes almost daily.
