And here is the list of Microdot features, both for the core part (just 765 lines of code!) and the optional features. I am really proud of having been able to pack so much stuff in so few lines of code!

However, Generative AI as a topic crept pretty much into every hallway conversation at #EuroPython. Even though I'm tired of hearing about GenAI and being asked what I think of it, I was surprised to find much more people than I expected aligned with my views and sharing my concerns.

So you let Claude loose on the code, let it try and fail a few times (we don't know how many/for how long) and led it to find you which flag can be used here. Still impressive that it found you a solution, but it would be useful to see the entire context for this session and not just the last bit.

I feel you are underselling yourself here. A person of your experience doesn't just "copy paste". You must have realized that adding an option with such a vague name as "--all-features" could be trouble, correct? Even before seeing the build still failing you must have known this option had to go.

The bug that was addressed by Claude in this example was introduced in a previous commit in that same PR, when the --all-features flag was added to the wasm build. Was this flag added by you, or by Claude in a previous attempt? In other words, is Claude here fixing your mistake or its own?
