preach. I'm convinced there are cycles in the tax code that can be exploited for either infinite taxes or zero taxes. Can Claude find them?

Yeah, but you get what you pay for.

The subtext here is that XML is a powerful tool when generating code with LLMs

As someone who knows exactly as much COBOL as everyone else here, XML is what comes out of Java tooling as the handicap for the office that demands Windows tools; of course, it's barbaric. The real crime is sending me this article in HTML, AKA the Super Weenie Hut Jr of generalized markup languages. Adobe FrameMaker is the real text editor used to forge your generalized markup language. Rumor has it that when FrameMaker dropped Mac support, Jobs cut out Flash games in the next Super Weenie Hut Junior.
