this was my first 0 to 1 with Claude Code.
It was about 25 prompts and I quickly maxed my $100/mo worth of credits.
Worked well, most agent runs made progress and noticed degradation when I had to switch back to sonnet from opus.
LLMs really shine for bash stuff in my experience because it so poorly documented.
Woulda taken me a lot longer to remember how to write a man file, actually write it and keep it up to date, all the bashisms about checking existence of vars and assigning vars, even github docs I didn’t need to remember.
readme etc all wrote itself. insane value.
