I documented the optional source:inReplyTo element for RSS 2.0.#

i stopped looking for the weird problem#

• i'd wait till a fresh start tomorrow.#
• but then i realized claude has all the code, so i could just tell it my problem.#
• can you find it, i asked, realizing i had not given it info on what the problem is. #
• there's a very weird mistake in the code i wrote just now, and there was a lot of it, i said to claude.#
• can you find the problem. #
• had no idea what to expect.#
• no more than 3 seconds it said I got it!#
• it was a typo. where i meant to type x i had typed prefs.#
• juggling a lot of bits in my head, my brain skipped, i didn't notice.#
• i would have found it quickly in my next session. but now i can think of anything but that problem until then. #
• sometimes claude can be totally frustrating, but other times the power makes such a huge difference. #
