Gricha macro-photo

Gricha / macro-photo — An experiment where I ran Claude Code to "improve codebase quality" over 200 times. .

Via ‪Elf M. Sternberg‬ ‪@elfsternberg.bsky.social‬ who notes:

The code went from 3,000 lines to 18,000 lines. Claude just loves adding code. It added thousands of lines of "utility functions," and since this was iterative, it ended up adding utility functions to support utility functions.

We do this is in real life, but... with taste and discretion.

Although, anyone who's worked on a code base that has lots of ideas exploration in it knows about dead code and confusion...
