A parking structure owned by a shopping center might offer free parking in order to drive business goals. That's as much a policy as it would be if they were to charge a fee.

Training a lion to jump through a hoop might be fun, but it is probably more rewarding when the lion jumps through a hoop in front of an audience.

It's not tantamount to that outside of your imagination. I've spend 30 years coding, I'm well aware the the underlying quality of the systems I build. Please try not to impart upon me these beliefs I do not hold. I…
I never said I don't care about the coding itself, or the underlying quality of my systems. I can care about more than one thing, while still identifying goals that I have for how I spend my time.
In a market where competition isn't relevant, the price of things is whatever you can get someone to pay for it.
One thing I've learned from responding to emergencies is that you can't just yell "help" at a crowd, you have to pick out someone specific and say "You, dial 911." We had someone collapse on campus and have a seizure.…

This is just a purity test disguised in high minded rhetoric. Defining "quality" in practice is both impractical and a matter of opinion. Building something first, and making it better later, is it's own form of quality.
If solving jigsaw puzzles with claude will enable the creation of tools that help the people I want to help (students with disabilities), then I would use it for that, without feeling any guilt at all for doing so. Why…

> Not whatever the hell this is. do you mean my enjoyment from building things? I'm genuinely confused by this response.
I got into programming to just build stuff, the coding is just a means to an end, try not to think too hard about the how and think more about the why and what
