Yeah -- another vote for 2.5. My client used Claude on a script of mine that I was having problems with, and Claude pointed out a few issues -- so it was definitely useful as a second pair of eyes.
What it wasn't useful for was identifying that the original performance issue was the single-threaded approach to making web requests. Running these requests in parallel was the solution I needed. (It suggested doing a fetchall from the database instead of doing these queries on an as-needed basic -- this didn't improve performance, because that's not where the inefficiencies lay.)

As of June 2025, Groklaw is back! This site was a really valuable resource in the now ancient fight between SCO and Linux. As it turned out, SCO was all hat and no cattle.Thanks to PJ for all her work, we owe her so much. RIP -- 2003 to 2013.
