  🧗‍♂️  Click, Climb, Repeat — The Mountaineer’s Guide to AI Coding Subtitle: How my AI sidekick taught me that déjà vu can be version‑controlled. It all began with a click. Then another. And another. Before I knew it, I was in a hypnotic rhythm of “yes,” “sure,” and “confirm,” obediently following Claude’s gentle prompts like a digital sheep on autopilot. 🐑💻 I finally realized that if I stopped every so often — just froze mid‑click and asked “Why are you doing it that way?” — Claude would actually pause, reflect, and deliver advice that made more sense. So apparently, debugging my AI means interrupting its confidence. 🧐 🔁 The Déjà Vu Chronicles Three times last night I was sure I’d finished the same piece of code already. Same loops. Same variables. Same deja‑vu induced coffee refills. ☕ When I asked Claude about it, it replied serenely, “Yes, the work was done. It’s stored in Unity.” Unity? Interesting place to keep my epic masterpiece. Apparently, unl...

For many of us, keeping bowels moving regularly turns into a quality‑of‑life project in its own right, not a side issue. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih +3 While we have been partners for nearly 20 years, we only married in 2021. Not long after, my wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and about a year later with Parkinson’s dementia / Lewy Body Dementia. So this “bowel routine” sits inside a much bigger roller coaster of diagnosis, loss, adaptation, and trying to preserve as much ordinary joy as we can in each day. Constipation is just one piece of that, but it’s one that can easily dominate a week when things go wrong. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih +1 Wha...
