> Di Mino used Claude Code to build a suite of Python scripts that query, cross-reference, and organize the digitized Linear A corpus (drawn from the GORILA and SigLA databases), enabling systematic hypothesis testing at a scale that would have been impractical to do manually.

That's exactly the kind of thing I'd hope Claude would be used for in these kinds of projects - building tools, not black-box "solving" the problem.



If it had been a proper developer he would've been nerd-sniped into yak-shaving those tools and never get the original work done.


If you look at his GitHub it does seem like he's obsessed with the tools


you don't know that
