Building a Personal AI Factory

My hunch is that this article is going to be almost completely impenetrable to people who haven't yet had the "aha" moment with Claude Code.

That's the moment when you let "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" go to work on a difficult problem and watch it crunch away by itself for a couple of minutes running a bewildering array of tools until the problem is fixed.

I had it compile, run and debug a Mandelbrot fractal generator in 486 assembly today, executing in Docker on my Mac, just to see how well it could do. It did great! https://gist.github.com/simonw/ba1e9fa26fc8af08934d7bc0805b9...

That's a very simple example/context that I suspect most LLMs will be able to knock out with minimal frustration. I had much more complex Rust dependency upgrade done on a 30+ iterations on very custom code (wasm stuff where training data is probably scarce). Claude would ping context7 and mcp-lsp to get details. You do find its limits after a while though and as you push it harder.
