In a lot of schools "industrial equipment" is used to reheat frozen foods. As for chicolate milk: there's probably as much added sugar in it as in a can of Cola. Definitely not something kids should consume daily.

Again, you're basically explaining how Claude has a very short limited context and you have to implement multiple workarounds to "prevent cluttering". Aka: try to keep context as small as possible, restart context often, try

The problem with LLMs (similar to people :) ) is that you never really know what works. I've had Claude one-shot "implement <some complex requirement>" with little additional input, and then completely botch even the sm
