This last week, I was able to delete considerably more code than I would have been able to before LLM assistance.
Specifically, I was able to consolidate some CSS because I could ask Claude to calculate the cascade before and after and verify that nothing had changed about rendering.
I’m sure there was a way to do that before by scripting a headless browser, but I didn’t have to learn that tool to unlock this capability.
