But hey! Project complete! We got the giant 36" Trinitron in the loft, and with only one new scratch and one smashed finger. Everything is still sort of pulled apart but you can get a general idea of the layout. His and hers PCs and TVs on either end, with the CRT and retro consoles in the center (less strain on the controller cables and makes split screen co-op easier).
Well... Not quite complete. I still have to reattach the tinted panels, rework all the power/AV cables, install all the consoles, disassemble and remove the hoist, put the couch back, and clean.
But this was the hard part!

This doubles to help Claude Code too know which just recipes it can run as well. So it's become a bit of a nice tip for helping LLMs write and test code more efficiently.

Have you experimented with getting LLMs to work with your own libraries that may change regularly (and that the model probably won't have been trained on anyway). Is the best approach to just load these libraries' codebases into the context window alongside your code? Better to load the documentation?
