I heard about what people were doing with Claude last week and decided to dabble with it in a domain I'm unfamiliar with. Within about 40 minutes, between dinner and driving kids to things, I had a working RSS reader powered by Emacs. I can't write elisp but Claude can.
It's not perfect and I've got some refining to do, but it mostly works exactly like I wanted.
The big question is now that I've built it, how do I make sure I gain some knowledge from this? I'll be writing some blog posts over the next few weeks about the project and elisp to try and build some knowledge. Then I'll come back and have some type of informed opinion on how it all went.
