I've found that Claude has been pretty decent at writing boilerplate code. For example asking it something like "I have an elixir app that is started with `mix ...` can you give me a Dockerfile to run it in a container?" It c

I believe the idea is to have a source that updates infrequently, so that one isn't compelled to refresh it all the time. It's not unlike one service that I saw where you'd get email once per day in your inbox, at a specific
