    I need to hire someone to take this functional 15 lines code, and like make it 200 lines of unusable madness.

      Oh, man, I don’t know how much is Claude’s fault and how much is just the way the world has moved, but I coded a hobby project in C a bit over 20 years ago, brought in one library to render the graphics as .jpg files and the whole thing was like 300 lines of code.

      Claude “modernized” it for me, and yeah, it shows on a browser as a PWA and it’s working correctly (this time, via Opus 4.6 - first time I tried with Sonnet 4.0 it couldn’t even make it work correcty) - but daaaaammn, there’s like 454 files in deps, 1.4GB in the rust target folder - maybe it’s just a rust thing?
