We’re being reconditioned right now to not think because it takes too long. I spent 3 hours this past weekend thinking about how to approach some problems, what would and would not work, and running through the scenarios in my head.

But if I have to spend time reviewing and integrating what Claude wrote on a greater scale later on, have I done two things at once? Whether it’s minimal time or not? Are we doing two…
