Built a new math exercise today.
Thought it would be trivial.
It wasn’t.
Claude got confused and started pretending it didn’t understand the task.
Switched to Gemini — slow, needed constant pushing.
Burned ~15€ instead of the usual ~2€.
For something that is actually simple.
For a moment I even thought my tooling (Cline) was broken.
In the end: shipped anyway.
Math is hard.
Signs are annoying.
AI is helpful — but not reliable.
Exercise is live:

Shipping > perfection.
