I agree with these points and would add another: writing code that I don't strictly need and would normally avoid writing at all simply because it's easier to take the lazy route and do without it. This morning while on the shitter, I had claude code use dbus to interface with tumbler for generating thumbnails. My application doesn't neeed thumbnails and normally my reaction would be "Dbus? Eww. I'll just do that later (never)" But five minutes of Claude Code churning got the job done.
