Trauma baiting was a new term for me. Must’ve felt awful. Your story made me think of this old Far Side comic, where the psychotherapist just writes “he’s nuts” in his notebook[1]. [1] https://pin.it/7S4LVwrr6

I’ve also realized CC is exceptional on html, creating local apps for reviewing output, dashboards sourced from DuckDB, etc. To review PRs in a little custom app is a very good idea. Who cares about 1.2x more tokens when clarity is squared?
