Code, cameras, and things that matter.

Don’t avoid writing something down just because you think it’s obvious. The thing you think is obvious now might recede into your subconscious in an hour; get it written down while you can!

You can use Claude Code, and be a great programmer.

Also knew people who used all kinds of tools, and didn’t get far, either.

It’s all relative.

Use whatever moves you forward.
