Helped: Building specific dashboards without needing to understand modern JavaScript or web frameworks.

… Claude lets me build a lot more highly specific dashboards or visualization tools that I really don’t give a fig what the code is, as long as the numbers sum up and the links work. So my batch job I am careful with, the dashboard I check every morning to see what batches and lambdas failed eh I can wait the two minutes it takes to populate all the data; better to have time to top off coffee than having to understand modern JavaScript, canvas, D3 etc and web frameworks. I do force it to use python and flask for the web serving and SQLite for caching/ memoization, but everything else carte blanche.
