I have a go-to guy. Everyone should. But he decided to change continents. And this makes it difficult to challenge his mind on a frequent basis. I am now using Claude for this. It is always there and cannot complain, whatever crazy I may ask of it. It has even transformed into my repository of crazy ideas / projects that will never happen. Gone are the notebooks stashed deep in my drawers.
The LLM also never says no. Never denies a thing. It will never say something like “protect your time for such bullshit”. It will reframe the answer in a “positive” way. “While X is not the best technology for Y, it might be possible to achieve …”.
I iterate (“discuss”) a lot. Without code samples.
Maybe when something becomes well formulated, I will pick my go-to guy’s brain. Because it is easy to get high on your own supply.
