> “What we think” and “Ideal”

> In 2011, Michael Norton and Dan Ariely asked more than 5,000 Americans how they thought wealth was split between the five fifths of households, and how they would ideally split it. The Companion spreads those five shares across all 100 percentiles of the 2026 wealth total in a smooth curve (Appendix 3). Many different curves fit five numbers, so these two shapes are only illustrations. The actual bars come from percentile-level data. These two curves do not.

LLMs are sometimes stupid and get confused when you change the files without them knowing. So asking them to do even simple things keeps the context in sync.

Plus you get a bonus random line "methods are all on the top" in the commit message that makes no sense to anybody.

> If you haven't tried jj yet, take it for a spin and see how you like it.

And if your muscle memory doesn't allow an immediate transition, give yourself 2 weeks. That's how long it took for me at least.

Invest in custom tooling and helper scripts.

fair, but we are approaching the point where it gets difficult to tell where the human still is involved

for all intents an purposes, the paper as well as the lean repo could be full LLM output with zero human involvement

`solution.lean` is a 12mb file

I looks like we are breezing past the point where unassisted humans can understand any of this
