And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
If tariffs don't work, why do so many nations still use them?
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
