Goals are Poisson distributed?

Some poetic background 'Ozymandias' is one of my favorite poems; I find it easily accessible and the imagery very evocative.

What is sonification?

Hype and reality I've been using AI code generation (Claude, Gemini, Cursor...) for months and I'm familiar with its strengths and weaknesses.

This is a short blog post to share some thoughts on how to reduce AI token consumption and improve user response times.
