Once you get Astra access run this prompt against your codebase (or just a part of it). It's magic.
"Think from first principles about what we're trying to achieve here. Interrogate what you built before calling it done:
1. is anything here unnecessary, overly complicated, or based on weak assumptions? Challenge them.
2. What can be deleted entirely?
3. What can be simplified now that unnecessary pieces are gone?
Then make the changes. Prefer deleting over simplifying, simplifying over optimizing, and optimizing over automating.
It might be done too - you dont HAVE to go and make changes. if its good, leave it alone"

- tiny windows to save energy
- no AC to save the climate
- vegan plant-based food to save the animals
- work non-stop to pay tax for governments to waste it
- fully medicated so you don't complain
Tax and accountancy software and bookkeeping industry have perverse incentives to keep the tax code and bookkeeping hard so you have to keep paying a lot for their software and to hire them
If they let AI just do it via their APIs, their value woudl go to $0 fast!
