@amorriscode I need to give each claude a whole separate env to run tests, local dev env, etc. Worktree is not enough.

AI means I can just do everything and don't have to prioritize anymore, right?

California voters love to vote yes for taxes. So the strategy against the wealth tax should be to start a new competing initiative, right?

Making a Google Slides deck with AI:

Nanobana - looks nice, but it's an image of a slide and only 1 slide at a time.
ChatGPT - writes js code to generate a pptx file, styled with not-great visuals
Claude Code - writes python code to generate a pptx file, no styling or visuals
