lochnessduckon An update on recent Claude Code quality reports

Yes, me too. This is good to know, but basically it means I can’t rely on old conversations any more. Using a “handoff” file to try and start a new conversation is effectively the same thing as what they did under the hood.

I use the carry flag in a lot of z80 assembly for communicating a status of an operation. XOR doesn’t mess with the carry flag, I think it’s another point in favor of xor. (Though I don’t remember even considering using sub)
