Today's (non-coding) Claude Code usecase. "My disk is almost full, what can I delete?"... "Here are 150GB of cache directories, Rust build artifacts, node_modules directories, etc."
We want to thank Posit for their support! With Posit’s help, we were able to grow our team by one full time engineer, committed to make the Typst compiler even better ❤️
