Absolutely one of the greats.

Absolutely lol - as a human in tech; I like to try and live like it is 1999 - and the 1999 where I wasn’t inside writing Perl but 1999 like when I was outside roller blading, skateboarding, bmxing, before I had a cell phone.

A very aggressive noprocrast could certainly get you there!

How long until Claude has noprocrast?
