I don't know why, but this has always tickled me in a good way. It's like the best type of poetry. Extremely well phrased for my minimalist brain.

And the opposite of Claude's commit messages. Maybe I should add this as an example in Claude.MD?

Yes, short and to the point.

And the most important part of the message is in the first phrase: eat food - not edible stuff that isn't food.

100% - have always loved Mr Pollan's pithy summary. I also like Alan Goldhamer's (I am paraphrasing): "There are two types of cardiologist; vegans, and the ones who haven't studied the data yet."
