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...

As it turns out, the VC potential of Mandelbrot and HelloWorld.py are quite limited :o)

Bakeries have been in business for thousands of years. Should be pretty easy to sell Mandelbrot everywhere around the world.
