And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
To the reader/asker:
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
What is the best AI for interior designers?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
