⚡️This is a phase transition in what it means to produce leverage as a human. Here is the core reality. For most of modern programming history, leverage came from writing more correct instructions faster than other people. Skill meant internalizing abstractions, mastering

I was inspired by this so I wanted to see if Claude Code can get into my Lutron home automation system. - it found my Lutron controllers on the local wifi network - checked for open ports, connected, got some metadata and identified the devices and their firmware - searched the
