I used live patching of the function byte code to enforce type safety in python as an experiment. It was quite fun, took about a weekend or so :) not something for production though, due to the performance hit.

A security review was the first real eye opener for me in my Claude code use.
I opened a Claude prompt in my server folder and wrote something along the lines of "Review this codebase from a security perspective. Think deeply about the implications of the code and produce a report". Nothing advanced, very straightforward.
It was my first experiment with triggering a larger review and it was way above expectations. Found a couple of things I had missed, found some things that were on my todo list, and then I asked it to create a phased implementation plan based on that report, and then after looking over the plan too claude fixed it.
Two thoughts
I think a larger house like she's living in makes it a lot easier to mitigate "the bad room mate" problem mentioned in a lot of comments. They likely have some filtering and process to kick someone out if they turn out weird. And recruitment is hopefully easier if you have 4 other people looking for a 5th than posting an ad somewhere.
This does seem like a potential solution for the male loneliness epidemic. I think it would be harder to check out if you're around other people. Their house seems _very_ women-styled with cooking dance parties, twerking in the garden and the ingredients. But that's just one house, each house has their own style.
Before I met my partner I looked into communal living spaces, and if this doesn't work out I might do so again, and give it a shot. I don't think living on my own is good for me long term. I get too isolated.
There shouldn't be a stand-alone TurboTax-like tool to fill out analogs of paper forms; it should just be a part of the IRS web page.
Why can't I log in, see what information employers and banks and whatnot have submitted about my income, add any pertinent information about deductions or additional income, appeal any inaccurate information, then click 'request refund' or 'pay dues', select which bank account to use from the information they already have, and be done?
Subsiding smaller companies to compete with the larger ones isn't going to fix the problem, it's just going to entrench the industry and empower more lobbyists.
This is kind of how it works here, Sweden.
Companies report my salary to our version of the IRS, banks report my loans etc. Before I started a company my yearly tax session took about 2 minutes.
The refunds are automatically sent to the registered account, you can pay outstanding money directly online after clicking submit.

I have tried exactly this, and it does not work. Nobody who did direct work ever had recommendations for peer workers. They just don't care. Most subs work directly with generals and not each other that much.
The general contractors know which subs are (currently) good and bad, so their recs are good, but you have to be friendly with them for them to share (instead of taking the project on themselves).
Ah, that's a shame :/
Worked for me, bathroom guy recommended a carpenter that turned out great. Was hoping it was a general thing one could do.

LLM with agent wrappers, currently claude code, has really helped my bootstrapping efforts, but I don't have much incentive to use it at work. I'll just get more work done and get handed more work, without any kind of matching pay bump.
Whoever got these wallets better sell them and get a good security company on rotation quickly before anyone find out who they are. Seems like wrench attacks been been happening a lot more the last year.
