Fight or Flight Mode
I have been practicing system design questions with Claude recently, b. it is interesting how quickly I feel my blood pressure rise in response to them. I know the LLM isn’t real, I can openly admit things I don’t know, and yet it is still stress enducing!
For example, we walked through this problem:
Upfront, I asked some clarifing questions which Claude answered, but when it came to the fix, I needed help. And again, even though I know Claude isn’t real, there was still a bit of stress!
