Who writes software and doesn't have a list of "I'll fix this one day" issues as long as their arm?
This is honestly one of the things I enjoy most at the moment. There's whole classes of issues where I know the fix is probably pretty simple but I wouldn't have had time to sort it previously. Now I can just point claude at it and have a PR 5mins later.
