This is an optical illusion. If I stare at it and mentally expect a direction, I can make the wheels appear to turn either way.

Same experience. I've been writing code for many decades, but that experience doesn't mean I can remember what I read when reviewing generated code. I write small, focused commits, but I have to take a day off each week to make changes by hand just to mentally keep up with my own codeset knowledge, and I still find structures that surprise me. It's not necessarily that the code quality is poor, but it's not like I (thought) I had designed it. It's lead to a weakening of my confidence when adding to or changing existing architecture.

My experience also. The claude code document feature is a real missed opportunity. As you can see in this discussion, we all have to do it manually if we want it to work.

I agree. I would guess that "most people" would think that cats were domesticated in Egypt because of their cat worship - as the article mentions. Turns out we the people were right. From the article's perspective "most people" apparently means "most scientists".

I do this also. I started doing it with physical mail before email existed to sort out the junk mail, so first and last name always contained a reference to the company you were dealing with. Paul Allen back in the 80s said in a Seattle Times interview that it was how he handled it.

Awesome! Exactly what I needed.
